Afrikaans is widely spoken in South Africa and closely related to Dutch. Here is a fun video to help you learn Afrikaans. It's easy to learn to a few short phrases!

This is a famous nursery rhyme that most Afrikaans people will know. Jan Pierewiet is a kind of bird found in South Africa with a very distinct call.

It was sung in Matt Damon's movie "Elysium" by Sharlto Copley, a South African actor that also played in "District 9" and "A-team".

There are many videos of this song on youtube, note that none-native speakers often pronounce "stil" the same why as "still" in English, which is not entirely accurate.
Can you hear the difference and pronounce it correctly?
Make a video and show us! :)
