How much Afrikaans do you speak? I've spoken quite a bit of it being the only English speaker in the little office. The other 3 office jockeys are Afrikaans. Sometimes they laugh at my accent.Some people see my surname, and speak to me in Afrikaans.
It lost an umlaut on the way to its present form. The ancestor who ended up working for the Dutch East India Company [as a builder, I think]
was from a village in Switzerland.

I've barely used the language at all since 1994. We don't speak it at home [English and a tiny bit of Greek], and I haven't heard anything other than Xhosa [maybe also Zulu and Sotho] and English spoken at work. The guy who sits closest to me at work knows five languages.How much Afrikaans do you speak? I've spoken quite a bit of it being the only English speaker in the little office.

Nah... it will never take off. ;-)
Tbh, I consider most African languages as the same language, just different dialects since so much is shared.I've barely used the language at all since 1994.

My gran is a bit crazy, ended up speaking (inc. writing):
Home language:
- Flemish
- Dutch
- French
Then ended up later at first language level:
- German
- English
And then second language level:
- Italian
- Spanish
My other gran was also good, but she had a lot of tutors growing up, for her it was German, and French as main, then secondary was Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Russian, since that was where family had businesses and she sat in with brothers.
Meanwhile I'm German, English first, Afrikaans as a distant second (I generally refuse to use it), and randomly I know things in French for some reason, think because my dad and brother practiced it a lot (Dad is German, English, Flemish, French as first, Italian as second, aunt is the same but add Spanish as second and downgrade English to second).
If we say African languages difference is big enough to be separate languages, then I speak 3 variations of German.
Studies?
