I have a hard time understanding some Afrikaans people speak English. The pronunciation and the tenses are never in the right order and I often find myself correcting others because it irritates the shit out of me...ha ha - They don't find it so funny especially not my husband, his is, am and are's are never in the right place. Just horrifying I tell you.
I can be quite a stickler for that myself. I am visiting my family later and always have to do myself doing similar!
