• Afrikaans is 'International'

  Yes Afrikaans is a simpler form of Flemish/Dutch. A lot of people dismiss Afrikaans in South Africa as a ‘kitchen’ language as it is not of any importance in SA. Which is not true. The language is broadly used all over the country in cities, large corporate companies and smaller towns. Unfortunately it is also generalised with SA’s racist farming community, which is not true. A lot of farmers in SA are first of all not racists and secondly a lot are not Afrikaans speaking. Someone has to carry the blame for Apartheid of course, so why not the Afrikaans population.
  
  Because Afrikaans is so close to Flemish, I have found that learning German was much easier for me than for people from other countries. Also it helps me to be ale to communicate to people in Belgium, Netherlands, Indonesia, Suriname and some parts of France. Look at http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0855611.html . So yes there are benefits of learning Afrikaans. It is a language with feeling and many other unique characteristics. I love the language as I grew up with it. Now I even appreciate it more and am proud of being Afrikaans speaking.
  
  All the best

• Help provided for those that wish to speak Afrikaans

  Hi, My first language is Afrikaans and I am willing to help (via email) anyone who wishes to speak the language. Afrikaans is not very difficult and speakers thereof may find it easier to learn Dutch, Flemish, and German later on as it also is a Germanic language (lower Franconian).
  
  You may contact me on [email removed]
  
  Dankie vir die belangstelling (Thank you for the interest taken).

• re moving to cape town

  ive been to cape town in my experience its really not an afrikaans speaking area
  
  if you go somewhere like swellendam its spoken everywhere inc shops ect
  
  if you only have a few months my advice would be to learn when there are some schools in capetown and you can run out and practice with native speakers at weekends
