Speak Afrikaans

LanguageLearning

About this app

Hallo. Dankie. Totsiens.

If you speak any English or Dutch, those already look about half familiar, and that is the quiet secret of Afrikaans: it sits surprisingly close to languages you may already know, which makes it one of the most approachable places to start. Speak Afrikaans leans into that head start and takes you the rest of the way.

From your first greeting to a real conversation, the course moves through 54 levels, 179 lessons and more than 845 words and phrases, each lesson building on the one before so momentum never stalls.

You will learn the everyday first: greetings, food and drink, family, numbers, telling time, the places that give the language its home from Kaapstad and Johannesburg to Pretoria and Durban, then verbs, grammar and daily talk.

WHAT IS INSIDE
- A spaced repetition engine that reviews each word at the perfect moment
- Six exercise types so no two lessons feel alike: listening, translation, typing, fill in the blank, word bank, matching
- Clear built-in audio for every word
- Phonetic guides throughout
- Fully offline, with the audio bundled in

PAY ONCE
One purchase and the whole course is yours, for good. No subscription, no ads, no in-app purchases. Everything is open from your first lesson.

For travelers heading to South Africa, for people with family ties to the language, and for anyone who wants an achievable, satisfying first language to learn, this is the complete, pay-once way in. Totsiens.
