Are you ready to supercharge your Afrikaans listening comprehension?

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 lug was vars en helder met die geur van veldblomme.
En: The air was fresh and clear with the scent of wildflowers.

Af: Bokant die wêreld se gedruis het Tafelberg majestueus uitgestaan, 'n plek vol herinneringe én verrassings.
En: Above the world's clamor, Tafelberg rose majestically, a place full of memories and surprises.

Af: Kobus en Anel het stadig op die bekende paadjie gestap, hul voetstappe sag op die klippe en grond.
En: Kobus and Anel walked slowly on the familiar path, their footsteps gentle on the rocks and ground.

Af: Tussen hulle was daar die stilte van woorde wat nog gespreek moes word.
En: Between them was the silence of words that still needed to be spoken.

Af: Kobus het na sy jonger suster gekyk.
En: Kobus looked at his younger sister.

Af: Sy was vorentoe, vol moed en vasberadenheid, soos altyd.
En: She was ahead, full of courage and determination, as always.

Af: 'n Knypende gevoel van skuld het in sy bors opgevlam.
En: A pinching feeling of guilt flared in his chest.

Af: Hy het nooit bedoel om haar independentheid in die wiele te ry nie.
En: He never meant to hinder her independence.

Af: Dit was net sy manier om te probeer beskerm.
En: It was just his way of trying to protect her.

Af: "Anel," het hy begin, sy stem effens huiwerig.
En: "Anel," he began, his voice slightly hesitant.

Af: Sy het egter nie omgekyk nie, voortgedring met haar eie pas op die kronkelende pad.
En: However, she didn't look back, continuing at her own pace on the winding road.

Af: Die lenteblomme het 'n kleurvolle tapyt om hulle heen gesprei, 'n teken dat die seisoene verander het, net soos hy gehoop het hul verhouding kon.
En: The spring flowers spread a colorful carpet around them, a sign that the seasons had changed, just as he hoped their relationship could.

Af: Nog 'n ruk het verbygegaan voordat sy sagte stem die stilte gebreek het.
En: Another moment passed before her soft voice broke the silence.

Af: "Kobus, ek is nie meer 'n kind nie.
En: "Kobus, I'm no longer a child.

Af: Ek wil my eie besluite neem.
En: I want to make my own decisions."

Af: "Hy het langs haar gestap, sy woorde nou meer gefokus.
En: He walked beside her, his words now more focused.

Af: "Ek weet, Anel.
En: "I know, Anel.

Af: En ek is jammer.
En: And I am sorry.

Af: Ek het net gedink ek help jou.
En: I just thought I was helping you."

Af: "Sy het skouerophalend gekyk, maar daar was 'n vreemdeling versagting in haar oë.
En: She looked up with shrugged shoulders, but there was a strange softening in her eyes.

Af: Tog was daar daardie muur wat die verlede tussen hulle opgerig het.
En: Yet, there was still that wall that the past had erected between them.

Af: Net toe het die hemel begin dreig.
En: Just then, the sky began to threaten.

Af: Wolke het vinnig oor die bergtop gespoed en 'n sagte reëndruppel het op Kobus se voorkop geval.
En: Clouds sped quickly over the mountaintop, and a soft raindrop fell on Kobus' forehead.

Af: Binne oomblikke het die ligte reën verander in 'n swaar stortvloed.
En: Within moments, the light rain transformed into a heavy downpour.

Af: "Hurry!
En: "Hurry!"

Af: " het Kobus uitgeroep, en hy het na 'n grot gesoek wat hy in die verte gesien het.
En: Kobus shouted, and...
