Afrikaans Pronunciation and Phonics
Afrikaans pronunciation and phonics are based on the same alphabet as English. The main differences are the diacritics on the letters (like ê), while certain letters, such as c are infrequently used but do exist.
Afrikaans has a very phonetic (phonemic) spelling which means that Afrikaan words can be spelled the way they sound unlike English, French or even its parent language Dutch.
