partykeer wil mens net in jou moedertaal so bietjie praat, maar wat is jou moederstaal as jy twee verskillendes het? ek dink dis nogals ontsagwekkende om ‘n taal te kan praat wat uniek is tot suid afrika, uniek aan ‘n volk mense wat teen alle omstandighede gekies het om te volhard. dis my pa se taal, my ouma en oupa se taal, en almal wie voor dit gekom het.
ek vind dit moeilik om myself uit te druk, eks heeltyd tussen twee wêrelde, die engels en die afrikaans, maar is dit nie wat my tog uniek maak nie? dat ek ’n weerspreking is nie. dat ek meer as een ding kan wees, nooit wit of swart nie, maar asemrowend grys is.

I can speak 4 languages fluently and you should too. My favourite ones tho are Afrikaans, Basque, Latgalian and Xhosa. And English. If you’re a monolingual beta then I look down upon you as aesthetically, morally and intellectually superior. My matrix is bigger than yours.

my neighbours are white. my friends are (mostly) white. i sometimes fear that my insides are white or turning white - im unsure.
when i speak in my mother tongue, barefoot on the driveway, i feel more connected to myself than i ever have before. i feel unapologetic, and i love being loud as i learn my language. my mum corrects me and laughs at my pronunciation. but my neighbours dont know. and that feels good.
so ?

Not the easiest languages, but you did know them. If you take up classes again, I don't think it will be that hard.
I wouldn't recommend learning german, unless it really interests you. German is a really hard language, believe me. I am german and i still fuck things up. You do have English and French in your knowledge, so it could be a bit easier, but still.
