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: Met die vars geur van lente in die lug stap Elna en haar broer, Liam, die drumpel van die Natuurhistoriese Museum in Kaapstad oor.
En: With the fresh scent of spring in the air, Elna and her brother, Liam, cross the threshold of the Natural History Museum in Cape Town.

Af: Die groot vensters laat die sonskyn speels oor die prehistoriese fossiele en kleurvolle dioramas val.
En: The large windows let the sunlight playfully fall over the prehistoric fossils and colorful dioramas.

Af: Skole en toeriste vul die sale met fluisende opgewondenheid.
En: Schools and tourists fill the halls with whispering excitement.

Af: Elna, 'n jong vrou met 'n passie vir paleontologie, stryk haar hand oor die koue graniet van 'n fossiel.
En: Elna, a young woman with a passion for paleontology, brushes her hand over the cold granite of a fossil.

Af: Haar oë glinster met fassinasie.
En: Her eyes gleam with fascination.

Af: "Koen, hoe oud is hierdie fossiel?
En: "Koen, how old is this fossil?"

Af: " vra sy en draai na die entoesiastiese gids, Koen.
En: she asks, turning to the enthusiastic guide, Koen.

Af: "Dié ou been hier is miljoene jare oud," antwoord Koen met 'n groot glimlag.
En: "This old bone here is millions of years old," Koen answers with a big smile.

Af: "Dis ongelooflik om te dink hoe lank die aarde al lewe dra.
En: "It's incredible to think how long the earth has been sustaining life."

Af: "Liam, Elna se broer, is minder geïnteresseerd in die verlede.
En: Liam, Elna's brother, is less interested in the past.

Af: Sy oë dwaal eerder na die geskenkwinkel.
En: His eyes rather wander to the gift shop.

Af: "Kom ons gaan soek iets cool," stel hy voor, effens ongeduldig.
En: "Let's go find something cool," he suggests, slightly impatient.

Af: Elna en Liam beweeg na die geskenkwinkel.
En: Elna and Liam move to the gift shop.

Af: Die rakke is vol met allerlei goed: klein dinosourusmodelle, helder plakkate en pragtige fossiel-replikas.
En: The shelves are full of all sorts of things: small dinosaur models, bright posters, and beautiful fossil replicas.

Af: Elna se oë val op 'n pragtige stuk versteende hout.
En: Elna's eyes fall on a beautiful piece of petrified wood.

Af: Dit is vol kleure, 'n ware simfonie van die natuur.
En: It is full of colors, a true symphony of nature.

Af: Maar dit is duur.
En: But it is expensive.

Af: Te duur vir haar beursie.
En: Too expensive for her wallet.

Af: Sy staan lank, haar hart geskeur tussen haar liefde vir geskiedenis en die harde realiteit van begrotings.
En: She stands for a long time, her heart torn between her love for history and the harsh reality of budgets.

Af: Elna kyk weer rond, met 'n gevoel dat daar moontlik iets buite die gesigsvlak is.
En: Elna looks around again, with a feeling that there might be something beyond sight.

Af: Daar, in 'n minder besoekte hoek van die winkel, ontdek sy 'n versameling van klein, handgemaakte hangertjies.
En: There, in a less-visited corner of the shop, she discovers a collection of small, handmade pendants.

Af: Elke een is uniek, met 'n klein stuk versteende hout ingesluit.
En: Each one is unique, with a small piece of petrified wood included.
