 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.

Het jy enigiets om te wys? Of gaan jy net op verhale staatmaak?"En: Hendrik followed closely, constantly asking, "Where's the evidence to your story, Annelie? Do you have anything to show? Or are you just relying on tales?"Af: Annelie het nie gepraat nie, haar gedagtes vasgevang in die idee dat net voor hulle iets besonders skuil.En: Annelie didn't speak, her thoughts captured by the idea that something special lay just ahead of them.Af: Die klippe onder hulle voete het begin sag lyk, en die vogtige reuk van plante het die lug gevul.En: The stones under their feet began to feel soft, and the moist smell of plants filled the air.Af: 'n Skerp geluid van 'n voël het die stilte verbreek, en net toe hulle om 'n skerp draai kom, het hulle iets interessant ontdek.En: A sharp birdcall broke the silence, and just as they rounded a sharp bend, they discovered something interesting.Af: Voor hulle, teen 'n groot rotswand, was daar 'n halfbeskermde insnyding wat deur die eeue heen versteek was.En: In front of them, against a large rock face, was a half-hidden indentation that had been concealed through the ages.Af: Annelie het nader gegaan en die ander agter haar laat volg.En: Annelie approached, letting the others follow behind her.Af: "Kyk!" het sy gefluister, haar vingers oor die gekerfde lyne gevoer.En: "Look!" she whispered, running her fingers over the carved lines.Af: Daar was patrone, simbole, en vreemde tekens wat duidelik met sorg gemaak is.En: There were patterns, symbols, and strange signs clearly made with care.Af: Hendrik het sy bril afgehaal en nader subtiel gestap.En: Hendrik took off his glasses and subtly stepped closer.Af: "Wel, dis... indrukwekkend," het hy toegegee, sy sinisme vervang deur eerbied.En: "Well, it's... impressive," he admitted, his cynicism replaced by awe.Af: Annelie het geweet dit was haar oomblik van triomf.En: Annelie knew this was her moment of triumph.Af: Die geur van salie het aan die wind gedra, en die klanke van die stad het skaars sy weg tot by hulle gemaak.En: The scent of sage carried on the wind, and the sounds of the city barely reached them.Af: Hulle het in stilte gestaan, in die donker en koel skadu van hul ontdekking, bewus van die erfenis wat nou deel van hulle geword het.En: They stood in silence, in the dark and cool shadow of their discovery, aware of the heritage that had now become part of them.Af: Met die son wat stadig gesak en die eerste sterre verskynend, het Hendrik uiteindelik gebuig: "Jy was reg, Annelie. Miskien is daar meriete in hierdie ou stories."En: With the sun slowly setting and the first stars appearing, Hendrik finally conceded: "You were right, Annelie. Maybe there’s merit in these old stories."Af: Fritz het uitgeroep, sy entoesiasme onveranderd: "Nou moet ons 'n boek daaroor skryf!"En: ...
