Hi there i am an english speaking 19 year old south african who moved here to the uo before i was 10. I would love to learn afrikaans again as i feel its something important to me. I wouldnt be starting completely from scratch as i know a bit already. My problem is that i cant speak it and remeber all the words to use in order to have a conversation but i do understand when people are talking to me most of the time (i get the general idea of what they are saying). I live in cambridge, sorry i know its not london. Thank you.

David, it’s great to hear from you. Afrikaans is a fantastic language and it’s really encouraging to hear English speakers wanting to speak it. I’ve sent you an email.

Knap gedaan! Nee, fantasties! Ditsem, Lex!
Baie dankie en al die beste–
