Our Method

AfrikaansPod101.com offers a unique learning experience that cannot be found in conventional classrooms. In addition to offering lessons that can be completed on your own time, we approve all of the content we release through a certified Afrikaans teacher. Here are just a few of the revolutionary advantages of our method:

Exposure to native speakers and many different kinds of voices and speaking styles

AfrikaansPod101.com aims to have you speaking Afrikaans after just one lesson! Our lessons focus on pronunciation and listening comprehension, so that you can start practicing what you learn from our professional teachers. Inside the PDF lesson notes, you will find the necessary tools for reading comprehension, and thorough explanations of phrases and key grammar points, in addition to a segment dedicated to cultural information. To address speaking practice, we have an easy-to use voice recorder on every lesson page so you can compare your pronunciation to our teachers’ and continue to refine your speaking skills.

When all the aspects of AfrikaansPod101.com are put together, this program provides students of Afrikaans with the ultimate self-study learning course.

Fresh, up-to-date content

Many Afrikaans teachers who live overseas have been out of the country for a long period of time and can be “out of the loop” on current words, culture, etc. This is another major gap that we fill.

Our lessons are carefully crafted to include current Afrikaans events, vocabulary usage, celebrities, popular culture, and so-on. While grammar may not change, we know that the nuances of the language change all the time, which is why we release new content every single week.

Borderless education on-demand all in one place

We also fill a definite demand in remote locations. Our lessons provide you with a mobile classroom, because we bring you Afrikaans ‘on demand’ – Afrikaans lessons wherever you may be.

AfrikaansPod101.com offers listeners a unique learning experience that delivers cutting-edge, dynamic content that can be accessed at your convenience. With the inclusion of our lesson notes, Afrikaans Resources Center and Premium Learning Tools, we offer a full solution that provides the material, guidance, exercises, and testing to really make the knowledge your own. And it doesn’t even stop there - our vibrant and extremely helpful community members provide each other not only quick answers to questions, but also give each other a sense of encouragement and motivation that is often lacking in other Afrikaans language programs.

We focus on Afrikaans, and Afrikaans only

Each language is unique, and at AfrikaansPod101.com we pride ourselves on developing a system that’s only about the Afrikaans language and Afrikaans culture! We have a dedicated team of Afrikaans writers, teachers and voice actors with years of experience teaching the language to English-speaking students, which assures you an authentic Afrikaans experience every time you tune in.
