As 2025 comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on how much growth, laughter, and learning have filled my classes this year. Every single student I’ve met — whether just beginning to say their first words in Afrikaans or mastering full conversations — has been a reminder of why I love teaching languages.
What I’m most looking forward to at the end of this year is celebrating small victories. For me, that means hearing a student proudly say, “I can do it!” in a language they once found intimidating. Those moments — when confidence replaces fear — are the highlight of my teaching journey.
This holiday season, I’m planning some relaxed and festive lessons to wrap up the year on a positive note. We’ll share stories, learn cultural traditions, and of course, have a few fun games and “language gift exchanges” — where every new word is a present waiting to be unwrapped!
If you’ve been thinking about starting your Afrikaans learning journey (or giving it another try before the new year), now’s the perfect time!
Join my featured lesson:
[Everyday Afrikaans: Essential First Vocabulary (45 min)]
Learn core Afrikaans words for colors, numbers, and common objects in an interactive, easy-to-understand way — perfect for beginners or anyone returning after a break!
Let’s finish the year strong — with confidence, connection, and conversation.
See you in class soon.
