  • Resumen

  • 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.

    Don't miss this opportunity, give our podcast a try and see the results for yourself. Verbeter jou luistervaardigheid vandag met ons Afrikaanse stories!

Hy haak sy hande om haar skouers, paniek begin hom omhels.En: "Elsa, what's wrong?" He hooks his hands around her shoulders, panic starting to engulf him.Af: Hy onthou hoe sy nooit teen sekere blomme bestand was nie.En: He remembers how she was never resistant to certain flowers.Af: Die gedagte flits deur sy kop—die pakhuis was vol van die nektar en stuifmeel van wilde plante, wat dalk die oorsaak van haar reaksie was.En: The thought flashes through his mind—the warehouse was full of the nectar and pollen of wild plants, which might be causing her reaction.Af: Riaan weet hy moet vinnig optree.En: Riaan knows he must act quickly.Af: Hy gryp 'n stuk lap en wikkel dit om Elsa se arm as 'n tydelike strop, probeer haar bloedsomloop beheer.En: He grabs a piece of cloth and wraps it around Elsa's arm as a temporary tourniquet, trying to control her circulation.Af: Sy hande bewe, maar hy dwing homself kalm te bly.En: His hands shake, but he forces himself to stay calm.Af: Terselfdertyd haal hy sy selfoon uit en bel 'n ambulans.En: At the same time, he takes out his phone and calls an ambulance.Af: Hulle sal tyd nodig hê om hier te kom, die pakhuis was maar afgesonder.En: They would need time to get there, the warehouse was quite isolated.Af: Hy fluister geruststellings aan Elsa, al het sy gesig nog steeds die angs gewys.En: He whispers reassurances to Elsa, even though her face still showed the anxiety.Af: Maar diep in sy hart, voel hy 'n vonk van hoop.En: But deep in his heart, he feels a spark of hope.Af: Wanneer die ambulans sirene uiteindelik in die verte weerklink, weet hy dat hulp op pad is.En: When the ambulance siren finally echoes in the distance, he knows that help is on the way.Af: Sy kalm en vinnige optrede red sy suster.En: His calm and quick ...
