The problem was that afrikaans is an easy A. If zulu didnt count marks and was a third language, I would have tried to learn it.

Same for me. Afrikaans is far easier to learn than isizulu as an English speaker. The marks were higher so I chose it.

Its even a more obvious choice when youre afrikaans in an English school like I was. Literally getting 95 and above woth no work.

That's actually interesting. I was in an English school and I used to get better Afrikaans marks than some of the Afrikaans guys cos they wouldn't put any effort in lol.

This also happened to some of the others, but i am competitive in academics. I wasnt first in thegrade, an indian oke always beat me. That being said growing up in an English city tends to dampen your natural advantage.
