You will not find another teacher like me. I have been given the gift of simplification. I can explain an elephant to an ant. I LOVE WHAT I DO. Life is too short to waste on something you are not passionate about. 1) You teach me. You tell me where you are now and where you would like to be. 2) We start with the basics, then do grammar and only finish when you are comfortable. 3) We use YouTube videos and other resources to enrich your learning experience. 4) You will master the thousand most commonly used words in Afrikaans. My teaching method is as follows: 1] Learn 2] Understand 3] Speak. This happens from the beginning to the bitter end. The two most important words you need to practice are: Enjoy and Practice. If you need to cancel a class, please notify me 12 hours in advance. I will do the same on my side. Until we talk again: Carpe Diem "Seize the day!"

    Danie is an amazing teacher and I've been having lessons with him over the past couple of years. Highly recommend him as a teacher if you want to learn Afrikaans.
