The Afrikaans learning app for South African FAL learners

Master Afrikaans vocabulary and sentence structure

Afripraat is an Afrikaans learning app for Grade 4-12 learners. Practise a small set of active words: type the Afrikaans translation, get a word right 10 times and it is mastered — a new word unlocks automatically. And now a full sentence-structure track too, so learners master the grammar rules, not just the vocabulary. Teachers see it all, without marking a thing.

Why Afripraat

Built for confidence, not just cramming

Real Afrikaans practice happens between the lessons — in a learner's own time, at their own pace, with no one watching. That is exactly what Afripraat is built for.

Practise beyond the classroom

A few spare minutes — at home, on the bus, whenever — is enough. Learners keep Afrikaans ticking over in their own time, long after the lesson ends.

Instant feedback

Type an answer and know at once whether it's right. Learners correct themselves on the spot, while the word is still fresh — the moment learning actually sticks.

Mistakes stay private

No class watching, no hands up, no embarrassment. Learners can get a word wrong as many times as they need — and grow in confidence — with no one looking over their shoulder.

Sentence structure & rules

From words to correct sentences

Alongside the word packs, learners work through a full Sentence Structure & Rules track — the grammar that turns words into correct Afrikaans sentences.

The rules that count

  • Verlede & toekomende tyd
  • The double negative
  • STOMPI word order
  • Voegwoorde
  • Infinitiewe
  • Direkte & indirekte rede
  • Bedrywende & lydende vorm

Develop, not just memorised

Learners rewrite, fix and build real sentences — typed or tap-to-order — and master each one by getting it right five times.

Its own mark for teachers

A separate sentence-structure mark next to the vocabulary mark, plus a combined one. Build or import your own grammar packs and assign them per grade.

New — Group Games

The whole class, one game code

Learning sticks when it's social. With Group Games, a teacher — or a learner — hosts a live vocabulary game, shares a short code, and everyone plays along on their own phone or tablet: each for themselves, or split into two teams — Springbokke vs. Proteas.

Six ways to play

  • Vasvra — fast-paced quiz, speed earns points
  • Toutrek — team tug-of-war
  • Woordwedloop — 90-second translation sprint
  • Paartjies — match the pairs
  • Soek die Indringer — spot the odd one out
  • Kaskarwedren — team box-cart race to the finish line

Hosted live, joined in seconds

The host picks the word packs — mix as many as you like — and the lobby fills up live as the class joins with one short code. Teachers and parents host free and watch the standings unfold as they happen.

Just for fun — on purpose

Games never count towards marks or reports, so learners can let loose. But every question is built from real FAL vocabulary — while the class cheers for the rope, the words are quietly doing their work. And for solo play there's Afrispel, the daily Afrikaans word puzzle.

Give Afrikaans a chance to click

Start a learner practising in their own time, or set up your class for free. Set-up takes less than two minutes.

How it works

A few minutes a day. Words that stick.

No multiple choice, no copy-paste. Learners type every answer — the way they will in the exam — and find out instantly whether it's right. Get it wrong? Nothing happens: there's no class watching, so they simply try again and master it in private, at their own pace.

1

Pick a word pack

Ready-made topic packs, or the packs your teacher assigned to your class.

2

Meet each new word

The first time a word appears you see it in English and Afrikaans. After that, you're tested.

3

Type it right 10 times

Ten correct answers and the word is mastered for good. A new word takes its place automatically.

4

Collect badges

First mastered word, login streaks, perfect runs, full packs — progress you can see.

And the grammar, the same way

Vocabulary is only half of Afrikaans. Alongside the word packs, learners work through a full Sentence Structure & Rules track — verlede & toekomende tyd, the double negative, STOMPI word order, voegwoorde and more. They rewrite, fix and build real sentences — typed or tap-to-order — and master each one exactly the way they master a word.

And when the class plays together

Solo practice builds mastery; playing together builds excitement. With Group Games, a teacher or a learner hosts a live game — a quick Vasvra quiz, a Springbokke-vs-Proteas Toutrek, a Woordwedloop sprint — and everyone joins with one short code on their own devices. Games never count towards marks; they just make Afrikaans vocabulary the most fun part of the day. And every learner also gets Afrispel, a daily Afrikaans word puzzle to crack on their own.

  4. Learn it first. Every new word is shown to you in both English and Afrikaans — no pressure, it doesn't count. Type it once to add it to your practice.

  6. Never forget it. Every so often a word you've already mastered pops back up for a quick memory check, so it stays locked in. Get it wrong? No penalty — we just remind you of the word and move on.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Afripraat a good app for learning Afrikaans?

Afripraat is an Afrikaans learning app built specifically for South African Grade 4-12 learners studying Afrikaans First Additional Language (FAL/EAT). Instead of multiple choice, you type every Afrikaans word, so the vocabulary sticks for tests and exams. It is one of the few Afrikaans apps with built-in classroom tools that let teachers track daily progress for free.

Can our school see Afripraat before committing?

Yes. Book a free 30-minute demo and we'll present how Afripraat works, the participation and grammar reports, the Excel exports, and bulk licence pricing for the school — online, at a time that suits you. Teacher accounts are also free forever, so you can create a class and explore it yourself without booking anything.

Do teachers really pay nothing?

Correct. Teacher accounts are free, forever — classrooms, pack creation, reports and certificates included. Only learner accounts carry a subscription.

Does Afripraat teach grammar, or just vocabulary?

Both. Alongside the vocabulary packs, learners work through a full Sentence Structure & Rules track — verlede & toekomende tyd, the double negative, STOMPI word order, voegwoorde, infinitiewe, direkte & indirekte rede, and bedrywende & lydende vorm. They build and fix real sentences and master each one by getting it right five times, and teachers get a separate grammar mark.

How does a learner join their teacher's class?

The teacher shares a short join code. The learner enters it once, the teacher accepts the request, and from then on the teacher can track progress and assign word packs.

What counts as "mastering" a word?

Typing the correct Afrikaans translation 10 times. Because answers must be typed — not picked from a list — mastered words stick for tests and exams.

What are Group Games? Do they count towards marks?

Group Games are live multiplayer vocabulary games. A teacher or a learner hosts one, shares a 6-letter code, and the class plays along on their own devices — individually or in two teams (Springbokke vs. Proteas), in formats like Vasvra (a speed quiz), Toutrek (tug-of-war) and Woordwedloop (a translation sprint). They are just for fun and never count towards marks, reports or the participation mark — but every question comes from real FAL vocabulary, so the practice is real. Teachers and parents host for free; learners play with their normal subscription.

How is the participation mark calculated?

It combines active days, practice attempts and words mastered within the date range the teacher selects — perfect for a term mark, exportable to Excel in one click.

Is Afripraat on the Google Play Store and the App Store?

Yes, both. Afripraat is a free download on the Google Play Store for Android phones and tablets, and on the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad. On computers, simply use afripraat.co.za in the browser — your account and progress follow you on every device.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes, at any time. Your access continues until the end of the period you've paid for, and your progress is saved if you ever come back. Full details in the Terms & Conditions.

Pick a type per sentence:
• Typed answer — the instruction, the sentence the learner sees, and the full correct answer (extra accepted answers separated by &). "Start with" is optional: give an opening word (e.g. Gister) and the learner only types the remainder — the full answer must still include that word.
• Tap-to-order — type the word blocks in the correct order, separated by |, / or \ (e.g. Ek / speel / elke dag / rugby); the learner taps them into order. Use one separator per sentence — if a block itself contains a slash (e.g. hy/sy), separate the blocks with | or \ instead.

One-time codes for deal platforms like OneDayOnly: generate a batch, download the CSV and hand it to the platform. Buyers receive a code and redeem it on the subscribe screen or under Settings → My Subscription. A redeemed code grants prepaid learner access (default 366 days) that never auto-renews, stacking on top of any access the learner already has.

Use a Partner batch for codes another school product prints and hands out. Those pay nothing up front, but every learner who redeems one is permanently tagged with the batch, so the Commission panel can show what that partner has earned on whatever those learners go on to pay us.

Afrispel Word List

Afrispel Word List

Two categories of 5-letter Afrikaans words. Antwoorde are the words the game picks a student's word of the day from. Raaiwoorde are extra real Afrikaans words students may enter as guesses, but that are never chosen as the word of the day. A guess only counts if it appears in one of the two lists, so students can't submit random letters. Words that are not exactly 5 letters are skipped when you save.

Import from Excel

Upload a sheet with two columns headed Antwoorde and Raaiwoorde (two sheets with those names, or answers in column A and guess-only words in column B, also work). The file fills in the boxes below - check them, then press Save to publish.
