=== Exercise 5: Ask and Answer ===
 
Form pairs and ask each other the following questions, then record the answers.
 
1. Wat is jou naam?
 
2. Hoe oud is jy?
 
3. Waar werk jy?
 
4. Wat doen jy in jou vrye tyd?
 
'''Sample Answers:'''
 
* My naam is Mark.
 
* Ek is 25 jaar oud.  


Now that we have covered the basics of greetings and farewells, let's move on to the main focus of this lesson: introducing yourself and others in Afrikaans.
* Ek werk by 'n maatskappy.  


=== Introducing Yourself ===
* In my vrye tyd hou ek van sport.


When meeting new people or joining a conversation, it is important to be able to introduce yourself in Afrikaans. This allows others to learn your name and get to know you better. Here is an example dialogue that illustrates how to introduce yourself:
=== Exercise 6: Group Activity ===


* Person A: Goeie dag, my naam is Anna. Wat is jou naam? (Good day, my name is Anna. What is your name?)
In small groups, take turns introducing yourselves to each other and sharing interesting facts about your lives. Each person should use at least three different phrases from the vocabulary list.
* Person B: Goeie dag, ek is Piet. Baie lekker om jou te ontmoet. (Good day, I am Piet. Nice to meet you.)


Let's break down the dialogue and explore the vocabulary and grammar used:
=== Exercise 7: Write a Dialogue ===


- "Goeie dag" is the greeting used to say "good day".
Write a short dialogue between two people introducing themselves and asking questions.
- "my naam is" means "my name is" and is followed by the person's name. In this case, Anna introduces herself by saying "my naam is Anna".
- "Wat is jou naam?" is the question "What is your name?". The word "jou" means "your" and "naam" means "name".
- Person B responds by saying "Goeie dag, ek is Piet", which means "Good day, I am Piet". Here, "ek is" means "I am" and is followed by the person's name, Piet.
- To express pleasure in meeting someone, Person B says "Baie lekker om jou te ontmoet", which translates to "Nice to meet you". "Baie lekker" means "very nice" and "om jou te ontmoet" means "to meet you".


Now that you have seen an example of introducing yourself, let's practice with some more phrases and examples:
'''Sample Dialogue:'''


* My naam is Sarah. Wat is jou naam? (My name is Sarah. What is your name?)
A: Goeie naand, ek is Lize. Wat is jou naam?
* Goeiemôre, ek is Jan. Aangename kennis! (Good morning, I am Jan. Nice to meet you!)
* Hallo, my naam is Lisa. Dit is 'n plesier om jou te ontmoet. (Hello, my name is Lisa. It is a pleasure to meet you.)


Take some time to practice these phrases and personalize them with your own name. Introducing yourself confidently is an important step in language learning and building connections with others.
B: Goeie naand, ek is Johan. Hoe gaan dit?


=== Asking and Answering Basic Questions ===
A: Dit gaan goed, dankie! Hoe oud is jy?


In addition to introducing yourself, it is also important to know how to ask and answer basic questions about personal information. This allows you to engage in conversations and learn more about the people you meet. Let's explore some common questions and their corresponding answers:
B: Ek is 22 jaar oud.


1. Wat is jou naam? (What is your name?)
=== Exercise 8: Multiple Choice ===
  - My naam is... (My name is...)
2. Waarvandaan kom jy? (Where are you from?)
  - Ek kom van... (I am from...)
3. Hoe oud is jy? (How old are you?)
  - Ek is ... jaar oud. (I am ... years old.)
4. Wat is jou beroep? (What is your occupation?)
  - Ek is... (I am...)
5. Waar woon jy? (Where do you live?)
  - Ek woon in... (I live in...)


Let's see these questions and answers in action in a dialogue:
Choose the correct translation for the following phrases:


* Person A: Wat is jou naam? (What is your name?)
1. "My naam is..."
* Person B: My naam is Johan. Wat is jou naam? (My name is Johan. What is your name?)
* Person A: Ek is Lisa. Waarvandaan kom jy? (I am Lisa. Where are you from?)
* Person B: Ek kom van Suid-Afrika. En jy? (I am from South Africa. And you?)
* Person A: Ek kom van Amerika. Hoe oud is jy? (I am from America. How old are you?)
* Person B: Ek is 30 jaar oud. Wat is jou beroep? (I am 30 years old. What is your occupation?)
* Person A: Ek is 'n onderwyseres. Waar woon jy? (I am a teacher. Where do you live?)
* Person B: Ek woon in Johannesburg. En jy? (I live in Johannesburg. And you?)


By practicing these questions and answers, you will become more comfortable in conversations and be able to gather information about others in Afrikaans.
a) My name is...  


=== Cultural Insights ===
b) I am...


Greetings and introductions play an important role in Afrikaans-speaking cultures, reflecting the values and social customs of the people. It is worth noting that Afrikaans is spoken in South Africa, Namibia, and parts of Botswana and Zimbabwe, with each region having its own unique cultural practices and variations in language usage.
c) What is your name?


In South Africa, where Afrikaans is one of the official languages, greetings are often accompanied by a firm handshake and direct eye contact. It is common to inquire about someone's well-being and engage in small talk before moving on to more substantive topics. Additionally, titles and honorifics are often used in formal settings, especially when addressing older individuals or those in positions of authority.
2. "Ek is getroud."


In Namibia, a former German colony, the influence of the German language can be seen in greetings and introductions. Alongside Afrikaans, German is also widely spoken, and it is not uncommon for individuals to greet each other using German phrases such as "Guten Tag" (Good day) or "Wie geht es Ihnen?" (How are you?). This reflects the country's historical ties to Germany and its multicultural identity.
a) I am single.  


It is important to be aware of these cultural nuances when engaging in greetings and introductions in Afrikaans. Being respectful and demonstrating an understanding of local customs can go a long way in establishing positive connections with others.
b) I am married.  


=== Practice Exercises ===
c) I have children.


Now it's time to put your knowledge into practice! Here are some exercises to help you reinforce what you have learned:
