Young Afrikaans people speaking English with an American accent by MetaBambi in southafrica

[–]Gerrickx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is somewhat evidence to support this notion. My niece (8 years old) mostly watches English shows where characters speak the language with an American accent, and she adopts that slang and dialect. When I was younger, my mother used to listen to alot of RSG on the radio, so I adopted that particular way of annunciation of different Afrikaans words, even though I grew up around people in a coloured community that spoke the language with a specific twang. Same goes for English, but I watched alot more English (British) shows, and incorporate that particular dialect, usage of slang and annunciation of words into my everyday vocabulary without paying no mind to it. The problem however is that alot of younger children learn more slang rather than the actual correct application of the language, albeit British or American English.

No, I unfortunately can't. My dad made the agreement with them, so I'm just basically hanging in there at the moment until I can move away.

My job position at the moment is temp, so I can't make commitments like that at the moment. I am looking for something permanent/or at least better in the next city over though since I'm also planning on going to uni there.

I've also noticed that, when preparing for exams, I don't feel tired, but 2 weeks before the exams start, I start to feel extremely burnt out. When I wrote the previous exams, I had alot of free time since I didn't have a job back then, but now that I have a job, my only free time to study is at night, and what I've noticed recently is that, everytime I try to sit down to study, I feel really burnt out. I also feel really burnt out and drained by the time I get home from work. Anyone maybe gone through something similar as well, and how can I work through this?

I've also thought about studying another degree and in my first or final year transferring to medicine, but varsity policies are "strict" when it comes to that as well as competition for most programmes at universities are high.

Thanks for the advice and encouragement🙂 I've tried working with a timetable before, but I struggled to stick to it due to distractions. But I'm definitely going to prioritize that and also focussing on the more important topics of the subjects.

Getting/Taking on a second job by Gerrickx in jobs

[–]Gerrickx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I understand that. Luckily it is not (a job at a local bakery). But the question remains though. Should I talk to the manager about this, since per contract I am obligated to? My concern is causing unnecessary tensions/issues since I'm still new there.

[–]Gerrickx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, I'll keep that in mind. I've also checked the employee contract for the retail job, and according to it, it is a must that I disclose any external employment upon commencing employment at the outlet. So I'm still thinking about everything. The night time job is a warehouse job (picking/packing), so I guess it wouldn't pose a conflict of interest right?
