Come on! You make my insecurities worse!!! I grew up in Zimbabwe, lived in SA a little bit and moved to the US. The American slang that we know in Africa is a joke compared to whats on the ground here. I constantly sound like an English textbook!

Real, because why do people think speaking vernac automatically makes you less educated or “ghetto”? The language you speak doesn’t determine your intelligence, and code-switching doesn’t erase your education. If anything, being able to switch between different ways of speaking is a skill.

I know a girl who thinks it’s a complement when white people say to her “you don’t sound black, we didn’t know you speak Zulu”🥲 I was so defeated.

I’m in KZN and I’m working so hard to teach my son(6) Sesotho because it’s that important to me.Yes he does Afrikaans and English at school and he’ll pick up Zulu from friends but it is important that he speaks his mothers toungue

As someone who is multilingual and can speak about 7 South African languages, YES. It is that serious.

Couldn’t agree more. Even giving black children white names. I will not be doing that. My children will have black names and they will be pronounced correctly! 🤞🏾
