Afrikaans as a language is alive and well, spoken by South Africans and Namibians of many races and creeds. While bilingualism is preferable, Afrikaans is a rich language and there are plenty of benefits to being fluent in it, as with any language. Fluency in one language does not compromise fluency in another; it's ridiculous to suggest only becoming fluent in English.

Wouldn't it have been nice if you were taught how to type properly as well as speak english?

My god. Are you South-African?

Ek dink dat Afrikaans 'n besonderse belangrike deel van my toekoms sal uitmaak, en ek dank elke dag my sterre dat ek die voorreg gehad het om twee-talig groot te word. Ek bly op die oomblik in Amerika, maar selfs as ek hierso trou en kinders kry sal ek Afrikaans met hulle praat. Verstaan jy my, of is jy 'n eentalige persoon? Met 'n naam soos ntombi kan ek seker aanneem dat jy ten minste Suid-Afrikaans is. Sou jy bereid wees om jou moedertaal op te gee net omdat dit nie deur die oorgrote meerderheid van die burgers van jou land gepraat word nie? Ek sou nie so dink nie.

So, why do you seem to think learning Afrikaans is an exercise in futility?

Liza, ek bly ook in Amerika en het het hierso getrou en sal eendag kinders kry en ek sal maak net soos jy. My pa het nie Afrikaans met ek en my broer gepraat en ek moes dit self leer met die hulp van my friendin en die entjie wat ek in Knysna gebly het. Ek wil nie he my kinders moet van hulle erfdeel beroof word nie.
