What city did you grow up in?

15
00:00:26.570 --> 00:00:28.360
Where did you go to university?

00:00:28.360 --> 00:00:31.939
I went to the University of the Free State.

17
00:00:31.939 --> 00:00:35.180
Is English the first language of South Africa?

18
00:00:35.180 --> 00:00:39.820
It's not the first language, but most people
can speak English in South Africa.

19
00:00:39.820 --> 00:00:42.862
Are South Africans English native speakers?

20
00:00:42.862 --> 00:00:45.073
Not all of them, no.

21
00:00:45.140 --> 00:00:47.835
Does everyone in South Africa speak English?

00:00:47.835 --> 00:00:50.505

00:00:58.149 --> 00:01:01.900
My ancestors came from the Netherlands.

27
00:01:01.900 --> 00:01:05.188
Is South Africa a safe country?

28
00:01:05.188 --> 00:01:06.969
In some parts, yes.

29
00:01:06.970 --> 00:01:10.200
And there are some parts of the country you
need to avoid.

30
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.610
Just like any other country.

31
00:01:12.610 --> 00:01:15.040

32
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:17.619

00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:35.909
Yes, they are.

40
00:01:35.909 --> 00:01:39.340
Where is the most beautiful place in South
Africa?

41
00:01:39.340 --> 00:01:41.188
I'd say Cape Town.

42
00:01:41.188 --> 00:01:43.853
What's the weather like in South Africa?

43
00:01:43.854 --> 00:01:47.299
The weather is really nice in South Africa.

44
00:01:47.299 --> 00:01:49.229
It's warm in the summer.

45
00:01:49.229 --> 00:01:50.630
But not too warm.

46
00:01:50.630 --> 00:01:51.769
And cold in the winter.

47
00:01:51.770 --> 00:01:53.299
But not too cold.

48
00:01:53.299 --> 00:01:57.369
We have some rainy days, but, all in all,
it's my favorite weather.

49
00:01:57.369 --> 00:02:01.159
Why did you leave South Africa to come to
Korea?

50
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:06.520
I left South Africa to be an English teacher
in South Korea.

51
00:02:06.520 --> 00:02:09.979
When you return to South Africa, what kind
of job will you do?

52
00:02:09.979 --> 00:02:12.325
I will still be an English teacher.

53
00:02:12.325 --> 00:02:15.290
Do you recommend people to travel to South
Africa?

54
00:02:15.290 --> 00:02:16.490
Yes, definitely.

55
00:02:16.490 --> 00:02:18.930
It's a great place to travel to.

56
00:02:18.930 --> 00:02:22.672
We have beautiful beaches and beautiful mountains.

57
00:02:22.672 --> 00:02:25.540
And we have great animals too.

58
00:02:25.540 --> 00:02:29.480
Do you think it's important for everyone to
learn English in South Africa?

59
00:02:29.480 --> 00:02:31.722
Yes, I think it's important.

60
00:02:31.722 --> 00:02:35.749
It opens a lot of doors for people if they
can speak English.

61
00:02:35.750 --> 00:02:42.049
Is a South African accent similar to a British
or American English accent?

62
00:02:42.049 --> 00:02:45.760
It's similar to a British accent.

63
00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:49.139
What do you think about Nelson Mandela?

64
00:02:49.139 --> 00:02:53.259
When I think about Nelson Mandela, my heart
gets very warm.

65
00:02:53.260 --> 00:02:56.889
He was one of our great leaders from our country.

66
00:02:56.889 --> 00:03:00.699
And I think he had such a huge impact.

67
00:03:00.700 --> 00:03:03.139
What is South Africa famous for?

68
00:03:03.139 --> 00:03:07.598
South Africa is famous, I would say for Cape
Town.

69
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:11.762
Which is one of the most visited cities in
the world.

70
00:03:11.762 --> 00:03:13.930
Thank you for talking about your country.

71
00:03:13.930 --> 00:03:18.130
I'm sure everyone has a better understanding
of South Africa now.

72
00:03:18.130 --> 00:03:19.528
Again, thanks for sharing.

73
00:03:19.528 --> 00:03:21.541
Goodbye.
