Oh, I see. I must say you have picked Danish up pretty well then.

Interesting, Afrikaans. I used to study Afrikaans myself a bit, just for fun and because of its extraordinarily simple grammar. One is able to understand quite a lot of it without having studied it when one has a little background in German and of course, Dutch, which it is derived from. I stopped studying it though, because I'd rather spend time on other languages and because I can't really use it for anything, unless I'm going to spend some time in South Africa.

Afrikaans has very simple grammar which allows constructions such as... This is a book what I have wrote.
Conjugations like...... I is , you is, he is, us is .....
Compulsary double negatives like...... I have not seen him not
Only one gender
etc etc ...

The only rules of grammar seem to be the bad ones which uneducated English speakers tend to use.
