I am so sorry, I my head it was a bit stereotyped and generalized T.T Now I can see I was so wrong. And what an amazing diversity! I loved the video, please more about Namibia!! We need african english/other languages to join the game :)

    I admire the fact that in most of sub-saharian African countries they speak at least 2 languages even in cities. Here in Latin America native languages are spoken just for few people and basically there are no ways to learn them. Yes, most of our Latin American countries have 10, 30, ... even 100 indigenous languages but in most of places it's extremely difficult to find somebody who speaks at least one of those languages and there is a lack of resources to learn them

    My father grew up in Namibia and my aunt was born in Windhoek .
    in Namibia have my grandparents and their children (my father and my aunt). languages ​​were Afrikaans and German
    At home they spoke German and Afrikaans.
    I love Afrikaans because my father and I speak German and Afrikaans at home
    Why Afrikaans and English because my grandfather said, in order to have respect you have to use your mother tongue but also use a second language e.g. Afrikaans for the working world in Namibia and South Africa
    my grandparents spoke Afrikaans and German

      @barbarablattler1305 8 лет назад +2

      + Saxon Warrior You have to learn to be tolerant, that is number 1! I was born and I grew up in Namibia and now I am a senior citizen. Ok, my mother’s parents came to Namibia after WW1, my grandfather hated to be a soldier. He became a farmer. My father came to Namibia after WW 2. They all came from Germany. I was never raised to hate anybody.
      The gradual moving away from apartheid started already in the early 1970’s. I was shocked when I came to Cape Town in 1975 to see that there were 2 entrances at the post office. One for black people and one for white people. I was not used to that at all. Our change happened very gradually, and I think that was very good. People could get used to new ways and ideas very gradually. On top of it all most of my countrymen and women are peaceful and not fighters.

It did help that my best friend his sister has a South African husband though who I talked with a ton so I had alot of practice 😂. Also interesting to hear them speak in their native language but I forgot which language that was but not all the students spoke it. Some only spoke Afrikaans.
