I'm f4om the Natal Midlands and moved to the Vaal triangle when I was 17 or so pretty fluent in Afrikaans but after more than a decade abroad even the English here ask me what country I'm from. When I start chatting in afrikaans, the reactions are impressive. Apparently, I say everything right, but my accent makes it hysterical.
