As a native English speaker, I intentionally ignored the English subtitles and only listened to the Dutch and Afrikaans. It was amazing at much it sounded familiar, and bits and pieces of it could actually understand. It sounded remarkably similar to something coming close to English. The two South African guys look like they could walk down the street of an American city and blend in very well. I believe a large portion of white Americans are descended from Germanic stock.

I see a lot of love in this Dutch, Flemish and Afrikaans relationship.
Afrikaans will make Flemish and Dutch simpler and easier, Dutch and Flemish will make Afrikaans more conjugate.
I see a lot of integration between Dutch Surinamese, Dutch, Flemish and Afrikaans.
They are all beautiful and all Dutch-speaking.
I love all these languages with a pure and open heart.

Greetings from Indonesia! If the Dutch had aimed to propagate their language during colonialism, it's conceivable that the Dutch spoken in Indonesia would resemble Afrikaans, or possibly be even simpler, given that Malay/Indonesian was widely adopted as the lingua franca in the Indonesian archipelago at that time—a language known for its simplicity. In such a scenario, Dutch might have amalgamated with Malay/Indonesian. However, regrettably, the impact of Dutch (the language) in the Indonesian archipelago isn't as conspicuous as that in South Africa. Well, we have 10,000 words in Indonesian that can be traced back to the Dutch Language. For example:
Two intriguing words under discussion here:
Dutch: Ik
Afrikaans: Ek
In Indonesia, we say "Eike". However, what's fascinating is that this term is predominantly used within the LGBT community. If someone refers to themselves using "Eike," it's often assumed they are part of the LGBT community, particularly perceived as very feminine.
As for the word "you," it transforms into "yey," directly derived from Dutch "Jij."
HAHA, quite intriguing!

My mother is Dutch and I grew up in South Africa until I was 15. This was such a strange video to watch as I understand the two languages almost completely but I could not really speak either. It makes me want to move to one of these countries to make use of this forgotten talent I have. I studied German at University in Colorado because I needed to do a language, but I understand that less.

Ek is 'n Afrikaner wat Nederlands leer. Dis moeilik om al die komplekse spelreëls, grammatika en uitsprake te leer. Ek is seker dit is baie makliker vir Nederlanders om Afrikaans te leer as vir Afrikaners om Nederlands te leer. Baie dankie vir hierdie video! <3
