I saw you on TV a week ago with other foreigners learning afrikaans. Since then I start following your videos and background and love your conversations. You are hard on yourself to speak afrikaans. The few words I hear are even with a perfect afrikaans accent. When I started watching the tv program, I thought you were afrikaans! I am 100% sure in a year or 5 your will 100% master it. I want to send this message in afrikaans, but is not sure how good your reading is. We were in the Netherlands this year and met a couple which is also missionaries from America. As fellow christians we became friends and are still in contact with then on where they are spreading the Word of God. May God bless the work you and your husband do, and your stay in your new country. Best regards

Welcome to South Africa we love you

So stinking proud to know you 🤍

Need to do more videos on TH-cam. South African ppl run away from winter, you want to run to it, I think because of family. GBY.

Please ignore anyone that say you are not welcome in SA. Of course you are welcome!!!!! I am living in Europe and yes, like you said, I miss SA a lot, its diversity and its beauty. It is so cool to see a fellow follower of Jesus enjoying SA and also learning some of its languages. Keep posting about SA and your experiences here. By the way, your Afrikaans is awesome!!!

How lovely to come across your lovely channel, Haley! Me and my sister come from Brazil - via London - and we also ended up in South Africa and have built a family here on the Cape - in die Kaap! We even have our own youtube channel as well, can you believe it? Keep up your Afrikaans, it sounds amazing! We also live in a very Afrikaans area but it’s soooo easy to carry on speaking English and I do regret not having learned properly after 20 years but hey, not too late! I want to make a video for our channel baking rusks or beskuit, will you beat us to it, just saying! Jy is baie, baie pragtig! Liefde! Mírian & Lírian ❤❤

Awwwwhhh!!! I feel like were hanging out!!❤️

Love your videos! You are amazing!

So I'm obviously not an ou tannie, but also long past my 20s and so reflection brings with it some insight and wisdom. As Alex Hormozi once said on a podcast "Patience is doing other things in the meantime", meaning don't focus on the things you cannot do right now but on the things you can. Realize that the luxury of time you have right now will be gone once you have moved into other phases of your life, like having children and the like. You will only have this amount of time again once they are out of the house, and that's a long time to not have extra time to yourself. So take the time to be fully present in your life right now, and trade your time for things you will never have the time to do again, like learning an instrument, take classes online, or just pressing into a deeper walk with the Lord. Alternatively use the time to fully prepare you for the next phases of your life you wish to pursue. A life well lived is one without "what ifs", and one full of lessons you learned as you dared to live it to its fullness.

I love ur videos!

The direction I have you are suppose stir the granola occasionally so it won’t get to brown

That part at the beginning is so true. It's why, even though Xhosa wasn't really taught at my school, my mom made sure we knew the basics. My sibs and I are able to greet the guys at Engen, we can make small talk with cashiers in shops near to us etc. It's so valuable to see their reactions when young (and white!) kids are able to speak their language with them. Love that you voiced this!🙌❤

Sal graag meer van Suid-Afrika en Afrika wil sien wanneer jy reis! Dankie :)

Baie, baie welkom in Suid-Afrika en Afrikaans, Haley❤ My best friend I have ever had, Deicy Mangones Truter, that also loves the Lord and prays/intercesses with me, is originally from Columbia, South America. Her husband and she also used tk be worship leaders. She could only speak Spanish and a little bit of English when she married her Afrikaans husband 10+ years ago and has been living in SA for about 6 years+ now. She is very good with understanding Afrikaans now and speaks more and more Afrikaans without even realizing it.❤ I have a very soft spot for you guys coming to SA from overseas. Jy praat baie goed Afrikaans! Happy to have discovered you. ❤❤ Will love to follow your journey! Blessings ❤❤

I do have a question for you if you don't mind. We're there any Americans against your move to South Africa it will be interesting to do a video on that if there were Americans against your move to South Africa it will be interesting to know. It's just an idea and yes for a Rooinek I can speak fluent Afrikaans but can not spell proply I can't even spell the king's English properly. But I hope you do more videos please. You one of my favorite TH-cam's I have many. Keep up the good work thanks

The last couple of years I've been focusing on the geopolitical trouble brewing and focused more on America than I have my entire life. The one realization, whether right or wrong, I had was that Americans really have a sense of community and TH-cam influencers is like the people speaking up for communities. I followed you because I was hoping we could emulate such an environment here at home.

Great video - SA is absolutely beautiful and we had so much to be proud of (had) but now, it's a shithole. We also want to believe it can be better but what would you recommend we do about people finding ways to get past the electric fencing in our gated community to break into homes with pangas and guns while innocent people are sleeping? Also, how do we stop the criminals from lurking in parking lots and then grabbing peoples handbags? Oh and the farm murders? It's out of control. It's gone too far. The good people are leaving.

You will make it girl, you will make it😎🤍 Jy sal dit beslis maak. Ek het goeie hoop vir jou😂

I absolutely love you Haley. Been following you for a few months on Instagram. I think from my perspective what you don't know you bring is a lens into the Afrikaans and South African culture to look at ourselves and our culture in a total new way. You reflect things to us that we have never thought about in that way, because it's like the fish trying to see the water. And there's lots of humor in that discovery that you communicate in a unique and relatable way. Keep it up and you're most welcome to our country.

Your message is so beautiful! Keep up the Lord’s work. Much love from a South African. ❤

People don’t hate. Change government. Simple.

This is so fresh, because you come from such an unencumbered place. If we could learn to be this open about our cultural baggage, we could all learn to live cooperatively. It’s an enchanting and encouraging prospect you could be pivotal in leading. Glad I subscribed to your second video. 🌈

Its about time you did a youtube channel keep up the good work and don't worry about the haters I have met Americans who prefer to live in South Africa than America. Your Afrikaans will improve and for an American you speak good Afrikaans. Keep up the good work.

Eish! The division in SA I'm hopeless if it'll end😖

Interesting approach .. 💫🌈have subscribed.. bit of an echoey sound..maybe your hotel room? Next one from under the bedspread perhaps 🤣

Hoeveel 'vd Merwe' grappe kry jy op 'n dag? Of is dit iets vd verlede? 😜🤭

I’m South African and your afrikaans is better than mine 😅❤️🤗

Love this

Amen, well done

Lekker man. The first Afrikaans word you must learn. The you must also be able to say Ons gaan nou braai. Then you are part Afrikaans culture.

South Africa : "As jy weet jy weet" :) Kuir lekker.

Lekker man lekker😊

Ek het groot geword in Kinross en bly nou in Limpopo en ek stem saam dat niks by die Bosveld se mooi kom nie.

Halo daar❤

SA is bevoorreg om jou hier te hê! yay for you! 🫶🏼

the Lord promotes 🙌🏼 love your videos, keep it coming!

Wow welkom love dit dat jy so lief is vir Afrikaans

If everyone could be as optimistic as you the world would be a better place 😊

Your Afrikaans is really good especially from an accent pov. Really good so vibes you are putting out in your vid. Haha het ook 'n koppie koffie gaan maak. Het in Ermelo groot geword baie naby an Secunda. Hope you keep making vids

The memes part is so true. My son said one day that the best comedy in the world are in the comment sections.😂

I thought you were famous 😂 weird seeing your yt with so few followers 😮 but us South Africans love you…. The negative people are just jealous they aren’t home

You are most welcome in SA and I love your message and views. The colour of our skin doesn't differentiate us, it's our cultures. The more we integrate, the more we understand and accept each other. Keep smiling people and let's embrace and respect one another. Mooi man!

You are so wonderful ❤ One can tell that you're in a truly loving environment, because you're aura brings me so much peace.

Loved this. I think I followed you because I was so impressed at your language-learning capabilities. You even have the accent right. But I love your overall message. I love that you believe in our rainbow nation. And I will always welcome someone like you.

You are so in your grandmother's house.

Your video reminded me of this song. South African born artist, but now in Belgium. I’ve always loved it, and it speaks so well to your sentiments! th-cam.com/video/zZ87RvDDISY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gpT23VBn_xVER2zM

Aaaah love this video! 🙌

you're so beautiful and inspiring 🤎

You are such a blessing!! Yes, I agree…we follow where our Lord leads and do what He says! You are a breath of fresh air in South Africa and for it’s people! I love watching you because it reminds me of how special South Africa and all the people are..! It is amazing to see how you adapt and enjoy the different cultures in South Africa! I am an Afrikaans South African and we have been living on your turf for 27 years!! The USA is where the Lord lead us too and it was not an easy road! We have no family here and we miss them! I love where we live in beautiful Naples, Florida and I love the American people and the different accents like the Southerner’s etc. Keep those video’s coming!❤
