I came to listen because I've heard that if you want to hear what English sounds like to people who don't speak it, Afrikaans is about as close as it gets.
@@nathanael5898 Frisian is closest related to English on a linguistic family tree, it sounds and speaks nothing like it. only small similarities here and there which honestly are also all-over other languages too.
@@Ghiani16Linguistically and orally, it's about as close to English as one gets without being mutually intelligible. The fact that it's intelligible to you because you speak Dutch is mostly beside the point.
For me it sounds much more Flemish than ABN (Algemeen Beschaafd Nederlands) or Holland). Greetings from Argentina!

Hey Mr Laizard, Tx for the greetings. Yes, over the years Afrikaans became it's own unique language (and one of the official languages of South Africa). Nice to hear from Argentina! Hope the coffee is good there!!!!

De definitie van verschillende spraaken is dat ze elkaar helemaal niet kunnen verstaan. Ik heb Nederlands niet meer dan drie jaren op school geleerd en versta toch het meeste van dit interview. Dat bedoelt eigenlijk, dat Afrikaans niet echt een andere taal is als Nederland maar een dialect. Waarom is dat officiel niet zo?

Hi Joanne, Yes, you can probably call Afrikaans 'n 'dialect" of Nederlands. Dis ook een van die offisieele tale van Suid Afrika. Dankie vir jou nota! Groete
Hi all, Here's a question to the Dutch natives: Can you understand Afrikaans well? According to theory, there is a high degree of mutual intelligibility between the two languages. So, in your ears: To what degree is it possible to understand the Afrikaans language. To my German ears, Afrikaans sounds very Dutch. However, the pronunciation of Afrikaans seems to be a bit harder than the very soft pronuncation of Dutch... Best regards
For me a bit difficult. But it does help, if you train listening to an Afrikaans conversation, like in this video, and know something about the Afrikaans grammar. It will drastically improve your Afrikaans listening skills.
Hi John. I can understand about 80 to 85% of this converstation. Its like native Dutch in a different dialect or something. If they would speak slower i could understand it even more. Its a real cool language though. Sounds funny haha. Basically they are talking about coffee haha about the machines and how they make it. Some talk about the service they deliver haha
It's like people from a different region, speaking in very strong dialect, i can understand it, but i have to pay a lot of attention and put a lot of effort into it, if they would speak slower it would help, some words are pronounced as 100% standard netherlands dutch (not flemish), some words are pronounced like in a strong flemish dialect..
Leider ich spreche Afrikaans nicht, aber es ist ähnlich zur Deutsche, deshalb hab ich viele Worte verstanden) Und alles, was mit Kaffee verdunden ist, gefällt mir. Danke!) Ob spricht man noch irgendwo auf Afrikaans?

This is not even close to English.. I speak dutch and i understand 80% of this converstation
Frisian is closest to english.
If you want to know how people who don't speak english, listen songs in Simlish xD

als Nederlander is dit heel erg hetzelfde als nederlands
Hi Joep. Ja, Afrikaans is mos baie soos Nederlands! All the best :)
For me it sounds much more Flemish than ABN (Algemeen Beschaafd Nederlands) or Holland). Greetings from Argentina!

MrLaizard especially that thinner coffee guy
The Coffee Co Google ja ek vind ook. Success mat hulle taal.
As a Flemish person I can understand 95%, sounds like a West Flemish accent with a Nigerian twist it's strange
Ik kan de slanke koffiemeneer een stuk beter verstaan dan de man met snor... Maar misschien mankeert er iets aan mij.
Ik kon hem ook het best verstaan. Het zal in Zuid-Afrika wel net zo zijn als bij ons dat ze in elk dorp en stad een ander accent hebben.
@@John_Thompson864 Die slanke praat mooi standaardafrikaans net soos wat jy in die stad sal hoor, die ander een klink ietwat plat
Ja zoiets inderdaad, klinkt ook een beetje alsof een Zweed NL praat. Het onderwerp is niet echt super spannend daarintegen...
Ja er mankeer iets aan jij ja..heb jij geluisterd nie

Reading is a lot easier.. it's like reading very broken "sms-language" dutch
It's for me as someone from Brabant (South of Netherlands) listening to regional television from Friesland (North of Netherlands).

Ich verstehe alles, was du geschrieben hast. Ich lerne Deutsch im moment.
Und das ist stimmt

JE BENT DRONKEN BRO :)
Ik als Belg verstaat dit goed . Ik wist niet dat het zo hard lijkt als het Nederlands
Jullie Belgen zijn toch nooit te verstaanndus dat kan wel kloppen
South African to a Dutch sounds like Singaporean English to an Englishman.
Als Nederlander vind ik het een beetje als Fins klinken als ik niet echt let op wat ze zeggen
Geluk manne
die rechter is van oorsprong brits, en die andere 2 oostblok
Was für eine schreckliche Sprache. Deutsch ist viel schöner.
ja... Hochdeutsch vielleicht, und boarisch.... alles andere klingt schlimmer als das
