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.
