Sorry this question is about learning other Germanic languages with those free apps. I gave up on German because I could see they changed the bs to ps in some cases and the other differences soon revealed themselves. It was too easy so I lost interest. Dutch is so close to Afrikaans I don't even bother. I haven't considered learning Swedish before but Dr Dan Roodt, sa author recommends it to broaden your horizons. I think I want to do that ie learn the language to b1 proficiency before visiting your beautiful country and preferably in a season I'll survive. Thanks for showing us around in your country in your videos. There is a sense of familiarity that I need to explore.

Meningsvryheid is how we spell it in Afrikaans. I think there could be a number of cognate phrases in our languages. I find this very interesting. Thanks for your videos. It's very informative.
