| INTRODUCTION |
| Becky: Hi everyone, and welcome back to AfrikaansPod101.com. This is Beginner Season 1 Lesson 25 - Stay Safe in South Africa! Becky here. |
| Chesney: Hallo! I'm Chesney. |
| Becky: In this lesson, you'll learn about giving warnings. The conversation takes place outside a restaurant. |
| Chesney: It's between Johan and Nadia. |
| Becky: The speakers are father and daughter. Therefore, they’ll speak informal Afrikaans. Okay, let's listen to the conversation. |
| DIALOGUE |
| Johan: Is jy seker ek kan nie agter jou ry nie. |
| Nadia: Ja, ek bly net om die draai. |
| Johan: Jy moet altyd versigtig wees. Sluit jou deure. |
| Nadia: Ek doen dit altyd. |
| Johan: Jy moet ook nie vir enige iemand stop nie. |
| Nadia: Ek doen dit nooit nie. |
| Johan: Bel my wanneer jy by die huis is. |
| Nadia: Dankie Pa! Haha, lekker aand. |
| Becky: Listen to the conversation one time slowly. |
| Johan: Is jy seker ek kan nie agter jou ry nie. |
| Nadia: Ja, ek bly net om die draai. |
| Johan: Jy moet altyd versigtig wees. Sluit jou deure. |
| Nadia: Ek doen dit altyd. |
| Johan: Jy moet ook nie vir enige iemand stop nie. |
| Nadia: Ek doen dit nooit nie. |
| Johan: Bel my wanneer jy by die huis is. |
| Nadia: Dankie Pa! Haha, lekker aand. |
| Becky: Listen to the conversation with the English translation. |
| Johan: Are you sure I can't drive behind you? |
| Nadia: Yes, I live just around the corner. |
| Johan: You should always be careful. Lock your doors. |
| Nadia: I always do that. |
| Johan: You should not stop for anyone! |
| Nadia: I never do that. |
| Johan: Call me when you are home. |
| Nadia: Thanks, Dad. Haha, have a good night. |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Becky: That’s a rather overprotective father, there! |
| Chesney: It’s sweet, I think. He just wants to look after his daughter. |
| Becky: Yeah, Nadia didn’t seem too bothered by it. |
| Chesney: That’s because taking some precautions when driving are a good idea in South Africa. |
| Becky: What do you advise? |
| Chesney: I agree with Johan; you should always lock your doors. |
| Becky: Anything else? |
| Chesney: Keep your bag off the seat and keep your keys safe. |
| Becky: Okay. What’s traffic like? Is driving in South Africa a peaceful experience or pretty stressful? |
| Chesney: It can be very stressful! There can be a lot of traffic in cities, and taxis and the slow pace can be stressful. |
| Becky: Are there any good radio stations to listen to while you’re stressing out in slow-moving traffic? |
| Chesney: There are lots of friendly and fun radio stations, such as RSG. |

| Becky: When would this phrase be used? |
| Chesney: Usually when talking about directions and how far away someone or something is. |
| Becky: Can it be used in both formal and informal settings? |
| Chesney: Yes, it can. |
| Becky: Can you give us an example using this phrase? |
| Chesney: Sure. For example, you can say, Hy sê dat hy om die draai is. |
| Becky: ...which means "He said that he is around the corner." |
| Becky: Okay, what's the next phrase? |
| Chesney: nie meer nie |
| Becky: meaning "not anymore." The literal translation is “no more no.” |
| Chesney: The meaning, however, is “anymore.” |
| Becky: Can you give us an example using this word? |
| Chesney: Sure. For example, you can say, Ek bly nie meer in die Kaap nie. |

| Becky: Okay, now onto the lesson focus. |

| Chesney: Or, just by giving a direct instruction. |
| Becky: You can also use “please” to make it more polite. |
