Learn Survival Afrikaans

Wikitravel users have collectively created a free Afrikaans phrasebook with the goal of making it possible for travelers to "get by" while traveling in areas where Afrikaans is spoken.

Wikitravel phrasebooks are available in many languages and each one varies in depth and detail. Most of the phrasebooks include a pronunciation guide, a general phrase list, information about dates and numbers, a color list, transportation-related phrases, vocabulary for shopping and phrases for eating and drinking. Some are even more in depth, and all are free!

The name "Afrikaans" means literally "African". Afrikaans has its roots in 17th-century Dutch, but has since developed its own distinctive character and flavour in the three centuries that it developed on the African continent. Being a Germanic language, the youngest of all, it is closely related to English and German.
