Week 4 Like last week I only had to learn 5 common phrases in Afrikaans. This came fairly easy as I knew most of the words. Since it really didn't take that long to memorize the sayings, I took some extra time to look up different pronunciations. I realized in future weeks that I need to watch more videos instead of trying to learn new words by myself. This is because I lost the accent and pronunciation that comes with the Afrikaans language. Some of the problems I ran into were things like G's and H's that are usually pronounced hard in the English language but are pronounced softer and more in your throat in Afrikaans. I will make sure to watch my pronunciation in weeks to come.
