Wannabe Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Afrikaans Dad, Scottish Mom. Can speak both tales twice, and very deliciously so. Worked for Sun International for many years (in the "old times" when most Dealers / Croupiers were Poms directly of the Ship / Airoplane.) My command of the English language is (was ) above par for a boertjie, but I have a very broad Afrikaans accent. Should have seen those Poms faces when this boertjie can gooi their taal almost better than them, but with this terrible accent. As a result of that, I got called a Rope, (thick hairy and twisted) Edited May 6, 2014 by Wannabe
Wyatt Earp Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Klink soos daai skewe nefie van my se naam in hoerskool Jissie, hy het seker lekker gespyker.
Shebeen Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Knew a bloke in london called schalk van der merwe.Parents emigrated to new zealand when he was 6 months old.As a fmaily they never spoke a word of afrikaans there(fit in with the locals and all). So you can imagine how many times the jaapies in london got confused when they saw his name and started gooing the taal at him to a shake of the head.
Wyatt Earp Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 our afrikaans teacher - Mevrou Botha - instilled the fear of a "kwaai tannie" in us... she would throw english words and phrases at us and we'd have to answer or she'll throw a blackboard duster at us. The one day, the guy in the front row was asked to translate traffic jam - to which he responded - "verkeer's konfyt" - he got slapped across the face. So the time I said - What is die tyd? .... Yeah... let's leave that back there.... Ja, reminds me of Karelkie when the teacher asked the class. "Wie weet wat ń konsestorie is " Karelkie pokes his hand up in the air and proceeds to answer. "Juffrou, eendag het ń anner oom my pa se kar gestamp, my pa slaan toe die hoeter, die oom wys to vir my pa sy langste vinger ,maar sommer so agterstevoor, dit was toe my pa sê, 'wag net hier, ek gaan gou kyk wat die kont se storie is' " Uni, RocknRolla, fanievb and 5 others 8

TALUS Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 When I lived in 'stralia it was quite irritating when every expat Kugel tried to speak Afrikaans with me to show how South-African they are. Most of them never spoke a word of Afrikaans while they lived in South-Africa. It is one of my biggest regrets that after growing up in South-Africa I can only speak Afrikaans and English. I should have picked up more. Whenever I visit Europe (especially Switzerland) I am struck by how many languages the average person on the street can speak.
