Zulu is an awesome language! I’ve heard it spoken before. It seems difficult to learn from an outsider. Maybe I’m wrong. Afrikaans is interesting to me because it’s a Germanic creole language. I’ve heard it’s the easiest to learn Germanic language in the world.
Yeah, Zulu is a different beast to European languages. I suppose as different to English as certain Asian languages would be. It also borrows from English and Afrikaans though, for certain Western words and concepts that weren’t in the vocabulary before. And there’s still nouns and verbs and tenses and shit, so it follows the same basic rules / concepts as any language.
As for Afrikaans, funnily enough I’m actually living in a part of the country now where some fluency would’ve been useful. Luckily you seem to be able to get by with just English just about anywhere though.
