Summary: AfrikaansPod101 offers audio and video lessons (though they’re mostly audio) for learning Afrikaans. They’re similar to a podcast with two hosts teaching the language with the help of natural dialogues. They take the time to explain key grammar points, vocabulary, interesting cultural information, and so on. Their tends to be more content for beginners and the lesson structure could be improved. As such, it’s better as a supplementary tool for improving your Afrikaans, rather than a standalone course.
