| INTRODUCTION |
| Becky: Hi everyone, and welcome back to AfrikaansPod101.com. This is Beginner Season 1 Lesson 14 - Clearing the Air in Afrikaans. Becky here. |
| Chesney: Hallo! I'm Chesney. |
| Becky: In this lesson, you'll learn about expressing emotions. The conversation takes place in the garden. |
| Chesney: It's between Johan and Daleen. |
| Becky: The speakers are family members. Therefore, they’ll speak informal Afrikaans. Okay, let's listen to the conversation. |
| DIALOGUE |
| Daleen: Ek is regtig kwaad vir Susan! |
| Johan: Hoekom, sy het nie geweet jy gaan so groot skrik nie. |
| Daleen: Ek weet, maar ek was die hele aand bang iets gaan gebeur! |
| Johan: Sy het net 'n grappie gemaak oor die ongeluk. |
| Daleen: Ek weet, maar dit was nie 'n goeie idee gewees nie. |
| Johan: Ek weet jy is omgekrap, maar gaan praat met Susan. |
| Daleen: Ek sal haar nou bel. |
| Becky: Listen to the conversation one time slowly. |
| Daleen: Ek is regtig kwaad vir Susan! |
| Johan: Hoekom, sy het nie geweet jy gaan so groot skrik nie. |
| Daleen: Ek weet, maar ek was die hele aand bang iets gaan gebeur! |
| Johan: Sy het net 'n grappie gemaak oor die ongeluk. |
| Daleen: Ek weet, maar dit was nie 'n goeie idee gewees nie. |
| Johan: Ek weet jy is omgekrap, maar gaan praat met Susan. |
| Daleen: Ek sal haar nou bel. |
| Becky: Listen to the conversation with the English translation. |
| Daleen: I am really angry at Susan! |
| Johan: Why, she didn't know that you were going to get such a big fright. |
| Daleen: I know, but I was afraid the whole night that something was going to happen. |
| Johan: She just made a joke about the accident. |
| Daleen: I know, but it was not a good idea. |
| Johan: I know you are upset but talk to Susan. |
| Daleen: I'll call her now. |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Becky: I wonder what Susan’s joke was? |
| Chesney: I wonder! It certainly made Daleen angry. |
| Becky: Yes, Daleen was very open with how she was feeling. Is that typical of Afrikaners? |
| Chesney: Some can be very open with their emotions, like Daleen. |
| Becky: But not everyone? |
| Chesney: No, some are very private. |
| Becky: That’s an interesting mix! |
| Chesney: Yes. And there are some people that are big pranksters. |
| Becky: So it’s good to find out who those people are and not take things they say too seriously. |
