| INTRODUCTION |
| Becky: Hi everyone, and welcome back to AfrikaansPod101.com. This is Beginner Season 1 Lesson 22 - Talking About your Christmas Plans in Afrikaans. Becky here. |
| Chesney: Hallo! I'm Chesney. |
| Becky: In this lesson, you'll learn about talking about plans. The conversation takes place at the office. |
| Chesney: It's between Nadia and Fanie. |
| Becky: The speakers are co-workers. Therefore, they’ll speak informal Afrikaans. Okay, let's listen to the conversation. |
| DIALOGUE |
| Nadia: Fanie, het jy planne vir Kersfees? |
| Fanie: Ja, ek gaan vir my ouers kuier. Hul bly in die Kaap. |
| Nadia: Dit klink lekker. Ek gaan net by die huis wees. |
| Fanie: Wel, dit kan ook lekker wees. |
| Nadia: Ek sal in my kop reis en die wêreld sien. |
| Fanie: As jy nou begin beplan, daar is nog tyd. |
| Nadia: Daar is net nie genoeg geld nie. |
| Becky: Listen to the conversation one time slowly. |
| Nadia: Fanie, het jy planne vir Kersfees? |
| Fanie: Ja, ek gaan vir my ouers kuier. Hul bly in die Kaap. |
| Nadia: Dit klink lekker. Ek gaan net by die huis wees. |
| Fanie: Wel, dit kan ook lekker wees. |
| Nadia: Ek sal in my kop reis en die wêreld sien. |
| Fanie: As jy nou begin beplan, daar is nog tyd. |
| Nadia: Daar is net nie genoeg geld nie. |
| Becky: Listen to the conversation with the English translation. |
| Nadia: Fanie, do you have plans for Christmas? |
| Fanie: Yes, I am going to visit my parents. They stay in the Cape. |
| Nadia: That sounds nice. I am just going to be at home. |
| Fanie: Well, that can also be nice. |
| Nadia: I will travel in my mind and see the world. |
| Fanie: If you start planning, there is enough time. |
| Nadia: There's just not enough money. |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Becky: We heard some holiday plans this time. They were pretty different. |
| Chesney: Yes, Fanie will visit his parents, and Nadia will stay home. |
| Becky: I think Nadia’s Christmas will be more relaxing. |
| Chesney: But Fanie’s will probably have more food! |
| Becky: I’m sure! Is visiting family a typical activity for holidays? |
| Chesney: Yes, many Afrikaans families make the effort to visit each other during the holidays. |
| Becky: Do people have holiday homes? |
| Chesney: Some families have holiday homes near the beach. |
| Becky: That’d be a good place to spend a holiday! |
| Chesney: Sometimes people will take their own holidays next to public holidays, so that they can spend more time with their family. |

| Chesney: nie genoeg nie |
| Becky: meaning "not enough." |
| Chesney: You have to be careful when you use this phrase. |
| Becky: Yeah, it can be rude if you say something isn’t enough. |
| Chesney: Yes, especially if you’re talking about something like a gift or food someone has prepared for you. |
| Becky: Can you give us an example using this phrase? |
| Chesney: Sure. For example, you can say, Die petrol was nie genoeg nie. |
| Becky: ...which means "The gas was not enough." |
| Becky: Okay, what's the next word? |
| Chesney: klink soos |
| Becky: meaning "sounds like." Does this mean “sound” as in noise? |
| Chesney: No, it refers to talking about an idea. |
| Becky: Oh, like “it sounds like someone will do something?” |
| Chesney: That’s right. You can use this to give positive or negative emotions about something. |
| Becky: Can you give us an example using this phrase? |
| Chesney: Sure. For example, you can say, Dit klink of hul Durban toe trek. |
| Becky: ...which means "It sounds like they are moving to Durban." |
| Becky: Okay, now onto the lesson focus. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Becky: In this lesson, you'll learn about talking about plans. |
| Becky: If we’re going to talk about future plans, then we need to use the future tense. |
| Chesney: In Afrikaans, you make the future tense with the auxiliary sal and an infinitive verb. |
| Becky: Do you have an example for us? |
| Chesney: Sure. Ek sal kom. |
| Becky: “I will come.” Let’s hear some examples in longer sentences. |
| Chesney: Ek sal vir jou more kom kuier. |
| Becky: “I will come and visit you tomorrow.” |
| Chesney: Hy sal vir my die klere more aflaai. |
| Becky: “He will drop the clothes off tomorrow.” |
| Chesney: Ons sal nie soontoe ry nie. |
| Becky: “I will not drive there.” |
| Chesney: It’s pretty straightforward! |
| Becky: It is! Next, let’s look at existential sentences. |
| Chesney: These are sentences that state that something exists or doesn’t. |
| Becky: That sounds complicated, but they’re easy and common. In English these are sentences that use “There is..” or “There are…” |
| Chesney: The sentences are similar in Afrikaans. We use Daar is... |
| Becky: Let’s hear some example sentences. |
| Chesney: Daar is ‘n God. |
| Becky: “There is a God.” |
| Chesney: Daar is meer tot die lewe as net werk. |
| Becky: “There is more to life than work.” |
| Chesney: Daar is te veel goed om te doen vandag. |
| Becky: “There are too many things to do today.” |
Outro |
| Becky: Okay, that’s all for this lesson. Thank you for listening, everyone, and we’ll see you next time! Bye! |
