Makes fun of Afrikaans people speaking english
Just Audio
If you are not from SA you probably wont understand
This makes me proud to be South African!! The funniest part about this video, is that only us South Africans really understand what's going on!
Glad I found this. Crying with laughter. As an aside, my daughter tells me that when I try speak German I do it with a Russian accent.
This is so funny. After living abroad for 17 years, I have to practice to retain my Afrikaans accent. I normally warm up with : "I park my car in the carpark" followed by " I are wearing a jean trousers!" I love my accent! So do the French, Italians and many others! So, my maat, praat daai taal en as jy moet Engles praat praat fit met 'n Afrikaanse aksent!
guernsey like the road? in south africa?
There should be a "Afrikaans with an English Accent" as well. Let me know if he did that as well.
No, why would we care to do that?
listen to he's afrikaans joke about the broken couch to hear that lol
Car repairs at the garage in Pretoria were really expensive. The mechanic presented me with a 'yuge bull'. Oh yeeeeees!
Got me howling bru!
I am back here in 2016. I originally watched this video back in 2007 - but its original broadcast with either 2005/or 2006.
Yeah, found this to show my Australian housemate some South African humour. :D
I was told, " I throw you wiff a rock!"
I then asked, " So what will land first, me or the rock?" The response was "Is you trying to be funny?"
LOL!!! Crying with laughter.
South Africa is an incredible place. The food, the people, the hunting! And the Braai, a great place.
legendary! It reminds me of our swimming coach at school who would announce during monday morning assembly " boys if you don't bring your swimming trunk, I make you swim in your under pant! Hillarious! Wishe there was more!
And what a beautiful culture it is.
@screamobaby
I'll never forget my gran to one of my english speaking friends:
"You can like to koeksisters?" (forget the verb "to have")
LMAO, my previous boss was an Afrikaaner, and he talked just like these examples! I had a terrible time trying to understand him despite the fact we were both speaking in English.
"When i was at school i thought alot" "when i was at school i fought the lot" lmfao!!
That accent sends shivers down my spine …… horrendous glad we got out in 75 thanks Australia thanks Gough Whitlam…
Thanks for leaving.
I had to learn English as a major, but throughout my school, we had to learn Afrikaans as well, but since i left the country, i have completely forgotten Afrikaans.
I'm back again in 2023! last time i commented here was 2016! and before that 2009! how time flies!
"That are my stuffs" lol!
ive broke the replay button and i'm still laughing
Good old days when radio was still good and entertaining I miss highveld stereo when Jeremy Sam and whackhead was still there.
I personnaly love the South African accent i listen to your music and watch your movies im not a South African either im British but have South African friends that have introduced me to your culture.
Somewhere I thought "real Queens English" was Cockney!
Darren Simpson's only mistake was failing to include a little guide, and it is this little skit's intention wasn't intended to undermine anybody, whether that being English or Afrikaans, the only purpose was to bring the little bit of a humor in our every day gray world and to make us smile, and forget about all our hardships for the moment or two. I am sure he loves us all, all we need to do is to try little bit harder to understand and respect each other. It isn't that difficult, let us try :)
Saw an academic present a paper last week who sounded JUST like this even though he was a total genius. I lost count of the number of times he said "wiff". His paper was WAY over my head but he sounded like he was just off the farm. So funny.
Okay...sadly, some of this is definitely true. I am NOT Afrikaans, however, I have Afrikaans family, and my cousin Gerdes sometimes slips and says certain things like "wiff" instead of with. Have a sense of humor and make fun of yourself sometimes, it's funny! I know Afrikaners who find this hysterical.
I live in the US and play rugby. I have South African teammates, This was hillarious
@HeleneDT Ik wil je vragen....wat is de verschilling tussen afrikaans en nederlands? Ik spreekt hollands als tweede taal maar somige afrikaans worden mijn heel vreemd...en somige zijn bijna het zelfde.
All things considered, by default, this doesn't extend only to ZA but also to the Dutch and Belgians who helped develop it.....and also by my own personal experience! Amazing!
LMAO!!!!
I'm afraid to show this my South African friends not sure how they'll take it
my entire family is pure afrikaans, and this is some funny shit and i love it
Funny clip, I like it. I would send the link to some Saffer friends but I think they've probably already heard it.
I live in the States, and this is HILARIOUS!
lol ''i can like to''
LMAO this is awesome!!!!
Hahahaha, this is too funny. Worked with a guy who used nearly every one of these examples (not on purpose).
The perfection in you and Surelinkwealth astute English grammatical abilities is scrambling my brain like eggs in a frying pan. Educational information overl MIND BLOWN IN 3...2..1.
I find it great that you think its brilliant. I'm going back in July next year to see the family. Hopefully you will see its beauty one day :)
Excellent!
Some of the people writing these comments really need to get some history books out and see who discovered their relevant countries and who was already living there when they turned up!!!!!!!
I'm an Afrikaans guy, but I find this incredibly funny - maybe because I've heard a people from the Free State actually speak English like this!
i love the south african accent.. the best in my opinion.
Our accent in Tanzania was similar. I was born in Zululand, but brought up in the bush in Tanzania. Then I went back to SA, aged 16. I have lived 23 years in the UK, and they always say I'm South African. See my video on youtube - Speak Swahili, Dammit!
The 'I are wearing a jean' part cracks me up since my mom says stuff like that alot. Not from SA though.
Reminds me of someone I knew from Pta west. He was the only one with an accent like that. Seems like you know him too.
~Have you ever heard an Englishman speaking French, German or Dutch (my own tongue)?
I am South African and this is Hilarious!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!
@armadnt lol I come from Durban and only learnt enough Afrikaans to just make out what you're saying. But its good you find this funny lol, I know Afrikaaners have a sense of humour but I also know they can be offended quite easily..
this is the funniest thing ever! I is liking the comedy broken! or "dit is kwaai bru"...
Dis kak snaaks.
Ja bra
this is funny Man!!
I am wearing a jean pant Wif a belt!!1 hahah :)
So funny... I haven't laughed so much in ages... BTW Afrikaans people make fun of us trying to speak afrikaans...
Afrikaners often get person confused, probably because there is no 'person' in Afrikaans grammar...ek is, jy is, hy is, ons is etc. It does make for some amusingly tortured English. But, hey, you know what they mean. (And how good is this guy's Afrikaans? Just wondering...)
Yay 94.7 :D:D I miss it so much. I hate it how my family moved to Australia :/
Oh right I thought you meant the Afrikaans accent sounded Australian (it doesn't). I can see that Whackhead might sound a bit Australian to an outsider. Not to a South African or an Australian of course.
South Afrikaans is just cute Dutch
I really hung out with a bunch of South Africans and this rings quite a few bells. especially the "I don't like"
my girlfriend is south african and she thaught it was funny and i love her accent makes her different from the rest at school
We white people who grew up in East Africa also understand. I wrote a book about understanding things in the bush of Tanzania. I wish you'd read it.
sooooooooo funny. my cousins speak like this, whenever i go back to south africa they sound just like this
Usually, I don't like Highveld Stereo, but this is great! :D
thankyou for your reply South African culture is a brilliant one and i wished i was a part of it
@mightymix101 So true. I have also can not help it when i hear this. Everyone at my school knows this one and it might only make sence when you live in south africa.
Hehe
I've often been laughed at by my Afrikaans friends when I try to speak their language, so I feel nothing for giving it back just as much.
What I feel is unfortunate is the fact that most Afrikaners are mixing their language with English to the extent of really cheapening Afrikaans. Is this somehow supposed to sound fashionable? It just sounds stupid to me.
"German is a language that sounds like a typewriter eating tinfoil being kicked down a flight of stairs." - Dylan Moran
i'm afrikaans and i are liking this fery mussss
So Darren, I have an excuse to speak English with a common-sounding accent. What's yours??
It's amusing! He's a fine example on how to fuck up the Afrikaans language when he tried to do a few pranks in Afrikaans on the radio.
its speaking english with an afrikaans accent not afrikaans with an english accent
(for lalla022 and hbread's benefit.)
lol i am frm SA and i have an accent but i found this really funny the 'i are wearing a jean pant' bit i was in histerics :P
As an Australian, I have to ask; Is that 'I can like to be...'? It's great to hear that Aussies aren't the only ones butchering English on a daily basis. Best wishes.
Lost it at "193rd best accent after sign language.." xD
God the worst part is my grans english sounds exactly like this...
I'm South African. And i wear a jean pant today.
is it 82 again...?
"I are wearing a jean pant"
This is funny simply because I know so many people who talk like this... LOL.
Is Afrikaans niet een Nederlands dialect?
@JohnnyMidnight1 Afrikaans comes from holland, only if you're wondering.
I are wearing a Jean pant
I lived as a youngster in northern Rhodesia and had Afrikaans friends, lekker!
You need to read my comment again. I said "similar", not the same. Slight semantic difference there.
There's needs to be more 😭
How come Afrikaans speakers rarely emigrate to the USA?
I reckon everyone of those dislikes are offended afrikaaners
what Darren Simpson doesn't get is that he also speaks english with an afrikaans accent.
I'm not sure what's the worst accent afrikaan or brumm
EK Love Afrikaans Taal meneer!!!
Ja ek will Lerne Afrikaans Taal!!
What language do the use in South African schools? Do the kids learn in English or Afrikaans?
I'm sure Afrikaans means a lot to the people who speak it, but outside of South Africa it's pretty much useless.
I'll never forget seeing Joost v.d. Westhuizen in an post-match interview.. I swear that I needed subtitles...
Nothing personal against the guy.. Badass player and leader...
I think south african's have interesting accents because even among the whites, some have an accent with a british influence and then there are those with the afrikaans accent very funny.
haha 'n rokkie met 'n belt
haha. I am an American in Korea and I work with LOTS of SA people. I find this hilarious.
Simply brilliant. Wackhead is the best!
I work with people who 'can like to spoke English.'
he is south african lil miss Sarah, so chill and have a laugh
they'll laugh for sure ;D i used to live in SA and i find this suuuper funny.
'I can like to be wearing a rokkie' - a dress
Best laugh I've had in ages, dank ie.
This would be funnier if Darren's voice had already broken.
Let's all pray that Darren will reach puberty soon.
My sprekende Engels baie goed, my Afrikaans is nie goed nie, maar my sturre (op die lewe in Suid-Afrika).
I miss this language living in the UK, south Africa ftw!
Thats more Vrystaaters not here in Pretoria
Dit maak nie saak nie as hy Afrikaans kan praat of nie, det maak saak as Afrikaaners Engels kan praat. Dit is DIT wat die video is. Verstaan jy nou?
I can like to be listening to this stuffs.
