Our podcast is the perfect tool for you. Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing.

That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Afrikaans, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Afrikaans and English.

This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there.

Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with.

Our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who wants to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to Cape Town, Stellenbosch, or Franschhoek? Maybe you want to speak Afrikaans with your grandparents from Pretoria?

Our podcast will equip you with the cultural and linguistic background needed to fully immerse yourself in regions where Afrikaans is primarily spoken, such as South Africa and Namibia. Our podcast is based on the latest research in linguistics, sociolinguistics,
psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and education to provide the most effective method for mastering Afrikaans listening comprehension.

Story Transcript:

Af: Die son sak stadig oor die uitgestrekte landskap van die Kalahari-woestyn.
En: The sun slowly sets over the vast landscape of the Kalahari-desert.

Af: Lang skaduwees speel oor die rooi sand toe die laaste strale van die herfsdag die klein San-gemeenskap omhul.
En: Long shadows play over the red sand as the last rays of the autumn day envelop the small San-community.

Af: Daar is 'n rustige gewoel onder die rietdak hutte, waar mense mekaar groet en voorberei vir die aand se dans.
En: There is a quiet bustle under the reed thatched huts, where people greet each other and prepare for the evening's dance.

Af: Dewald, 'n vriendelike man wat met 'n breë glimlag bekendstaan, en sy vriendin, Mariska, stap haastig na die middel van die kring.
En: Dewald, a friendly man known for his broad smile, and his friend Mariska, walk hurriedly to the center of the circle.

Af: Hulle het gisteraand belowe om aan die tradisionele dans deel te neem, maar onthou skaars die skemas van die bewegings.
En: They promised to participate in the traditional dance last night, but barely remember the sequences of the movements.

Af: Terwyl Dewald gedurig die kulturele ondervindinge geniet, lei sy vergeetagtigheid dikwels tot interessante situasies.
En: While Dewald always enjoys cultural experiences, his forgetfulness often leads to interesting situations.

Af: “Ons het vergeet ons moet dans!
En: "We forgot we have to dance!"

Af: ” sê Dewald paniekbevange.
En: says Dewald, panic-stricken.

Af: “Ek kan nie 'n enkele treetjie onthou nie!
En: "I can't remember a single step!"

Af: ”Mariska skud haar kop, 'n glimlag speel om haar lippe.
En: Mariska shakes her head, a smile playing on her lips.

Af: “Kalmeer, Dewald.
En: "Calm down, Dewald.

Af: Dalk kan ons 'n paar bewegings onthou?
En: Maybe we can remember a few moves?"

Af: ”Die gemeenskap begin om die oop ruimte saamdrom.
En: The community begins to gather in the open space.

Af: Hulle vorm 'n sirkel, wagend en glimlaggend, gereed vir die vertoning.
En: They form a circle, expectant and smiling, ready for the performance.

Af: Dewald vryf sy hande saam, nagedagtenis bewustelik op sy gesig.
En: Dewald rubs his hands together, a conscious expression on his face.

Af: “Ek gaan improviseer!
En: "I'm going to improvise!"

Af: ” besluit hy met oorgawe.
En: he decides with determination.

Af: Mariska knik, probeer om enige van die repetisies uit die vorige aand terug te roep.
En: Mariska nods, trying to recall any of the rehearsals from the previous night.

Af: Die tromme begin stadig.
En: The drums begin slowly.

Af: Dewald maak die eerste beweging - 'n vreemde mengsel van 'n sprong en sywaartse skuif.
En: Dewald makes the first move - a strange mix of a jump and a sideways slide.

Af: Mariska volg, haar pogings nuanseryk en ietwat meer gestruktureerd.
En: Mariska follows, her attempts nuanced and somewhat more structured.

Af: Maar met elke beurt, raak die dans meer uitbundig, byna onherkenbaar.
En: But with each turn, the dance becomes more exuberant, almost unrecognizable.

Af: Lag breek uit onder die toeskouers.
En: Laughter erupts among the spectators.

Af: Die gemeenskap juig en klap hande ritmies.
En: The community cheers and claps their hands rhythmically.

Af:...
