My father-in-law was saying the same thing about Gemini 12 months ago regarding the Afrikaans speech. I've tried a few of them in my studies but none of them could seem to switch between English/Afrikaans except Gemini. It's an interesting time to be a language learner

As jy wil, ons kan saam praat op Discord :) maar my Afrikaans is sleg

As a Dutch person i find Afrikaans always interesting whenever i happen to encounter it in the wild. As if a common ancestor took a very different evolutionary path.

  • Given that Dutch is the ancestor here (not that Dutch hasn't changed since the split), I wouldn't call it "as if".
