Learn to speak Afrikaans out loud
Most Afrikaans courses stop at recognising words. In 4ToSpeak every Afrikaans sentence ends with you saying it, so the skill you build is the one a real conversation asks for.

How it works
Four steps for every Afrikaans sentence
One loop you repeat on every sentence, ending with you speaking Afrikaans out loud.
Step 1
Order
See a Afrikaans sentence and rebuild it in English from a bank of words.
Step 2
Translate
See the English and build the sentence in Afrikaans, word by word.
Step 3
Listen
Hear the sentence spoken in Afrikaans, then type what you understood.
Step 4
Speak
Say it out loud in Afrikaans and see which words landed and which to try again.
Speaking Afrikaans
Why speak Afrikaans from day one
The sounds, rhythm and word order of Afrikaans stick when you produce them, not when you recognise them. Each sentence you say out loud gets you closer to the way a real Afrikaans speaker talks, and the speaking step shows you which words you landed.

Afrikaans questions, answered
Can I learn Afrikaans for free with 4ToSpeak?
Yes. The free plan needs no card and has no time limit. You get 25 daily energy, about 3 to 4 full lessons a day, and the whole module store is open to you (some modules cost coins you earn by practising).
How does 4ToSpeak teach Afrikaans speaking?
Every Afrikaans sentence goes through four steps: you order it, translate it, listen and type it, then say it out loud. The last step is the point. You hear how close you were, word by word, instead of tapping an answer.
Do I need a microphone to practise Afrikaans?
Yes, for the speaking step. Your browser asks permission the first time, and it works on a phone, a tablet or a computer. The other three steps work without one.
Do I need to know any Afrikaans already?
No. Lessons start from short everyday Afrikaans sentences and build up, so you can begin from nothing.
What script does Afrikaans use?
Afrikaans is written in the Latin alphabet, so you can start reading it straight away. The speaking steps cover the sounds that differ from English.
