Dutch,English,French,German,
and i understand, South African and latin quite OK .....and scandinavian languages i understand some words due to my knowledge of dutch and german...
for someone who sounds so condescending i would assume that you wouldn't assume south african = afrikaans. they have like a dozen different official languages, 2 of which are spoken more widely than afrikaans.
you make a valid point.. but don't you think someone saying that they "understand south african" sounds a bit more ignorant? sorry I_Am_God. just sayin!
dude me too! i've been studying russian for the past year. it's hard as fuck to memorize all the case declensions! kind of like latin in that respect but a lot harder to pronounce the phonemes
mweh ive been there for an while and ive got south african family. it looks al lot like dutch but there are a lots of words that are different, but with dutch and english in your pocket you can understand it mostly
ya ya i'm livin in holland as well but a lot of my friends are south african and they all picked up dutch really easily cause they mostly speak afrikaans and english.
