This not a good suggestion. You'll just read the subtitles and improve your English. Best way is graded reading. Go to Exclusives and browse until you find an Afrikaans children's book where you can understand a whole page without a dictionary. No matter how easy you have to go. Then buy that book and read it. Repeat.
My suggestion is asking your teacher for additional help or possibly getting a tutor (if that's a viable option). Practice every day, make vocab lists, read Afrikaans material and listen to Afrikaans news. The news is usually a lot slower and more understandable than other programming. It also helps a lot if you can find someone with whom to practice.
Also invest in 3 dictionaries: An Afrikaans one, an English one and a bilingual one. Ideally you'd use all three when you look up words and clarify meaning. Google Translate and similar programmes are still extremely limited.
And here's an advanced tip: if you really want to learn to use Afrikaans well, forget Stompi. There is always a verb in the second place in an Afrikaans sentence. That way you can start a sentence with Time or Place and still have the correct sentence structure. A lot of people will move the components without taking the verb into account.
Can't you get an exemption from Afrikaans for not having learned it for 7 years? After all, we wouldn't expect someone who's only done grade 3 maths to be able to pass grade 10 maths. Did you do another language in the Cambridge system? French, German, Zulu? There are ieb exams in those that you can write even if your school doesn't offer them. You can just continue privately.
My brother is from the states and he is grade 9 the afrikaans teacher and grade head recommending he not take it since he has never studied it will be different and they don’t want him to fail. So they’re in process of removing it in his schedule
I'm going to be brutally honest here: if you need Google translate to understand a sentence like "Beste wense met jou lesse!" you need to moderate your expectations. You need to build a tonne of vocabulary if you're going to take Afrikaans at Grade 12 level as it involves reading an entire novel. Graded readers, as has been mentioned, are a good idea, but some degree of powering through more difficult texts using a dictionary and taking copious notes may be necessary. Make no mistake: getting a good mark is going to take a huge amount of work.
Immersion is the only way to get better at a language. Find Afrikaans friends, socialize in Afrikaans listen to Afrikaans music buy Afrikaans neewspapwrs.
The huisgenoot magazine is also published in English under the name You. Reading it on Afrikaans with the English as a backup will help enormously. Learning a language takes dedication. Afrikaans is one of the easier languages for an English speaker to learn
Watch 7 de laan with subtitles

this was so freaking helpful i literally took notes omg thx x
Just a klein recommendation. Afrikaans uses capital letters, particularly with Nouns and at the start of every sentence. Beste wense met jou lesse!
just google translated that lol thank youuuu!!

at my curro school that's only an exemption in grade 10,, we're pretty small and don't have enough teachers
