Afrikaans really is easy! If you are struggling to read and speak Afrikaans or you are a beginner and want to start learning the right way, this course is for you! It does not matter whether you are 7 years old or 70 years old, anyone can learn sounding out Afrikaans words and become a confident speaker and reader.

This course will help you master Afrikaans using the basics of phonics. Phonics is a powerful tool that teaches you how to pronounce a sound. In this course I also teach you how to recognise the sound when reading words. This will make saying it so much easier and raise your confidence levels.

Once you know how to pronounce the basic sounds in Afrikaans, you can learn words and build your language knowledge from there. Sadly, most schools don't teach reading Afrikaans with phonics, and this is a fundamental reason why children become demotivated with Afrikaans as a subject. It's like building a house with no foundation. If you can't sound out a word, you will not know how to pronounce the word and you will not be able to learn new vocabulary from any written material.

I am so excited to, through this course, help children and adults build a sturdy foundation to learn Afrikaans, which is a beautiful, descriptive language. The videos will give you the opportunity to master the sounds and words you will start reading along the way. You can practise in the privacy of your home and repeat the exercises till you become 100% confident in the well-structured and logical content. It will be like having your own personal Afrikaans speaking friend and teacher in your house or classroom :)
