Find out something about Afrikaans.
Listen to a few words here.
And listen to Steve Hofmeyr, popular singer in Afrikaans.
Feel the shape your lips and tongue have to make to form some Afrikaans sounds. Then ask papa about fricative, plosives, and nasal stops.
Some words sound familiar, as if they share a history with English. What do you think? And what about the spread of Afrikaans around the world? Would you consider it a worldwide language?
