    Meanwhile countries like USA, Russia and others have only one majority language spoken by the population there are others which speak more than 3! That's really amazing. Congrats people from Namibia!

    I admire the fact that in most of sub-saharian African countries they speak at least 2 languages even in cities. Here in Latin America native languages are spoken just for few people and basically there are no ways to learn them. Yes, most of our Latin American countries have 10, 30, ... even 100 indigenous languages but in most of places it's extremely difficult to find somebody who speaks at least one of those languages and there is a lack of resources to learn them

    At home they spoke German and Afrikaans.
    I love Afrikaans because my father and I speak German and Afrikaans at home
    Why Afrikaans and English because my grandfather said, in order to have respect you have to use your mother tongue but also use a second language e.g. Afrikaans for the working world in Namibia and South Africa

    • @barbarablattler1305
      @barbarablattler1305 Před 8 lety +2

      + Saxon Warrior You have to learn to be tolerant, that is number 1! I was born and I grew up in Namibia and now I am a senior citizen. Ok, my mother’s parents came to Namibia after WW1, my grandfather hated to be a soldier. He became a farmer. My father came to Namibia after WW 2. They all came from Germany. I was never raised to hate anybody.
      The gradual moving away from apartheid started already in the early 1970’s. I was shocked when I came to Cape Town in 1975 to see that there were 2 entrances at the post office. One for black people and one for white people. I was not used to that at all. Our change happened very gradually, and I think that was very good. People could get used to new ways and ideas very gradually. On top of it all most of my countrymen and women are peaceful and not fighters.

It did help that my best friend his sister has a South African husband though who I talked with a ton so I had alot of practice 😂. Also interesting to hear them speak in their native language but I forgot which language that was but not all the students spoke it. Some only spoke Afrikaans.

      僕もまさに日本語の「おしり(oshiri)」に聞こえました笑
      I also heard "oshili" as a Japanese word, "oshiri", which means butt.
      Love from Japan!
