I have a HDE qualification, that is a 4 year diploma in teaching. I love teaching languages, especially to foreign tongue users. I taught English to Chinese, Xhosa, and Afrikaans students. Currently I am teaching 2 Turkish students to speak Afrikaans. I draw up my own lessons, focusing on communication. Afrikaans is a relative new language and is 1 of the 11 official languages in South Africa. I am excited to teach the whole world about my mother tongue.

Certified teacher with over 8 years of experience. I was motivated to become an English teacher, so that I can assist in exposing students to the lingua franca of the world, that being English. Some estimates say that 80% of English speakers of the world are non native speakers. I obtained my TESOL certificate mid 2017 and decided to head to the east. I have taught kids and adults in rural Asian areas and have decided to bring my teaching expertise and experience online and have years of online teaching experience.

Certified TEFL (Level 5 Diploma) teacher with over 3 years of teaching experience. Hello, I am a South African English and Afrikaans community tutor and I live in Cairns, Australia. I have an interest in topics based around current news and music. I like to laugh and get to know different types of people from all over the world. I am patient and will do extra effort to ensure that my students reach their full potential. I like fun and interesting topics as an inspiration for my lessons. The use of news articles or song lyrics as a bases of discussion seems like a fun way to go. I like to discuss topics that the student would enjoy. This will hopefully encourage them with the target language as they have a bigger interest in the topics. I like to give an assignment at the end of the lesson so that we can discuss it in the beginning of each new lesson and build on what they have learnt in the previous lessons. I am open to focus on any of the aims that my students want to achieve by the end of their lessons.

Initially with a new student I would start off with general conversation in order to gauge your specific needs. Once we have determined those needs, with both your own and my input in the discussions I will progress to more structured lesson plans. I am patient, helpful and friendly with a wicked sense of humour... I am not overly sensitive to criticism from students, which makes it a lot easier for students to be comfortable in indicating their personal requirements for learning from me – in fact I aim to learn as much from my students as they learn from me.

    Just had my first lesson with Sonti, she is an absolutely amazing teacher! You can tell she loves teaching and sharing the language because she brings so much enthusiasm and joy to her teaching, she was also so encouraging and patient with me when I struggled with some of the the pronunciation and I can't wait for our next lesson.

    My first lesson with Fareeda was precisely what I was looking for: an introduction to conversation in Afrikaans. She is an engaging, bright and very helpful conversation partner. Very knowledgeable and very careful to make sure that I understood everything that was saying. I would highly recommend Fareeda to anyone who is interested in the Afrikaans language and the situation of multilingualism in South Africa.

Frequently asked questions

How do I schedule Afrikaans lessons?

To schedule Afrikaans lessons on italki, simply create an account and browse through available Afrikaans tutors. You can filter tutors based on their availability, teaching style, and expertise to find a match for your learning goals. Once you’ve chosen a tutor, select a lesson type (e.g., conversation practice, grammar, or vocabulary) and pick a time that works best for your schedule. Tutors often offer flexible hours to accommodate different time zones, so you’ll have plenty of options. After booking, you’ll receive a confirmation, and you can join the lesson directly from the platform. It’s easy to reschedule if your plans change, giving you full control over your learning schedule.

What will I learn in Afrikaans lessons?

In Afrikaans lessons on italki, you’ll learn a variety of skills tailored to your learning goals. If you’re a beginner, you’ll start with the basics, such as the Afrikaans alphabet, common phrases, and simple sentence structure. As you progress, lessons will focus on improving your vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. You can also work on conversational skills, learning to communicate confidently in everyday situations, from greetings to making small talk. More advanced learners can focus on specific areas such as business Afrikaans, writing skills, or regional dialects. Your tutor will customize the lessons based on your needs, whether you’re learning for travel, work, or personal interest. The aim is to build fluency and confidence in both speaking and understanding Afrikaans, using interactive and engaging methods.

Can lessons be conducted in English if I don’t speak Afrikaans?

Yes, lessons can be conducted in English if you don’t speak Afrikaans. Many italki tutors are fluent in both Afrikaans and English, so they can use English as the primary language of instruction. This allows you to gradually transition into Afrikaans, starting with explanations, grammar lessons, and vocabulary in English. As you become more comfortable with the language, your tutor will help you practice speaking and understanding Afrikaans through conversation, while continuing to provide guidance in English when needed. This flexible approach ensures that beginners can build a solid foundation while gaining confidence in Afrikaans at their own pace.

How long should I study Afrikaans to see progress?

The amount of time it takes to see progress in Afrikaans depends on several factors, including your learning goals, the amount of time you dedicate to studying, and your language-learning experience. Generally, if you practice consistently, you can start seeing noticeable improvements within a few weeks. For beginners, focusing on basic phrases, vocabulary, and grammar for 30 minutes to an hour a few times a week can help you gain confidence in everyday conversations within a couple of months.

To see faster progress, it’s important to practice regularly and immerse yourself in the language. The more you interact with your tutor, engage in speaking practice, and expose yourself to Afrikaans media (like music, movies, and podcasts), the quicker you’ll improve. Additionally, setting specific goals, like mastering a particular aspect of grammar or holding a short conversation, can help track your progress. Regular lessons with a tutor and active practice will help you achieve fluency in the language over time.

Are Afrikaans lessons suitable for children?

Yes, Afrikaans lessons can be suitable for children, depending on their age and learning needs. Many italki tutors specialize in teaching younger learners and can tailor lessons to be engaging and age-appropriate. Tutors may use fun, interactive methods such as games, songs, and visuals to help children grasp the basics of Afrikaans in a way that keeps them interested. Lessons can focus on fundamental language skills like vocabulary, pronunciation, and simple sentence structures.

However, it’s important to choose a tutor with experience teaching children, as they will be better equipped to create a positive, enjoyable learning environment. Additionally, shorter lesson durations and regular review of the material can help maintain focus and prevent children from feeling overwhelmed. With the right approach, Afrikaans can be a fun and rewarding language for children to learn.
