it is an easy question:) Lack of people to speak it with:)

I tryed learning Afrikaans a decade ago. I know it mostly from songs (particualrly Koos Kombuis). I like the langauge. Also it is very easy, I think Afrikaans is great for learners' self-esteem because you can achieve a lot within two weeks:)

But whom can I speak it with? When I have an Afrikaans speaking freind I will renew my studies absolutely.

For me, the hardest things are practical: finding teachers, finding partners and finding books. There is material out there, but compared to European languages they are few and far between. Also, there is no examination-centre for taking recognised Afrikaans exams. 

It depends how persons learn their language, for example, There are many of people learn their native language by parents, and these parents teach children the language by speaking only which means these children do not learn the writing, reading and perfect words. In the result, these people when join to the education world such as, school, they will face difficultes to learn the correct language.
