So, here's a hint on the colloquial pronunciation of Afrikaans:

We love our contractions. In fact, we prefer to use it wherever we can. However, in writing we do no contract as the spelling changes drastically. An example is below:

Is dit nie 'n man nie? (Is that not a man?)

Isit nee mannie? (Isn't that a man?)

Is dit = Isit, with the s pronounced as a z.

nie 'n = nee, does not mean "nee", but it sounds that way due to the diphthong of the sounds "ie" & "i", resulting in an "ee" sound.

man nie = mannie, this sounds like "money". Proper pronunciation would have us differentiate the words, but we tend contract them to save time and energy speaking.

Other examples of contracting the last verb/noun with the double negative:

Hond nie = hontie (hauntea) eg. Dit is nie my hond nie/hontie.

doen nie = doenie (do-knee) eg. Ek wil dit nie doen nie/doenie.

wil nie = willie (villy) eg. Ek wil dit nie doen nie/Ek willie dit doenie.

sal nie = sallie (sully) eg. Ek sal dit nie doen nie/Ek sallie dit doenie.

gaan nie = gannie (chunny) eg. Ek gaan dit nie doen nie/Ek gannie dit doenie.

More contraction examples:

Hoe gaan dit? -> colloquially -> Hoe is dit? = Hoesit? (s pronounced as z)

Wat is dit? -> Watsit? (s pronounced as z... hopefully you're recognising the z pronunciation pattern)

Wie is dit? -> Wiesit? (s as z)

Waar is dit? -> Waarsit? (s as z)

@Petri Tapala:

"Rooi rok bokkie"*

"Vandag gaan ons twee koring sny" is actually a manner of expressing a desire for sleeping together. However, I think my previous explanation might be correct under certain circumstances. 

@Petri Tapala:

"Bokka" would be a shortened form of the word "Bokkie" which is a diminuitive of the word (an animal) "bok". It is typically used as a term of endearment for a woman/girl. A good example of this is in the song "Rooirok bokkie" which refers to a woman with a red dress.

"My hart is vol" is a section of the Afrikaans idiom "Waar die hart van vol is, loop die mond van oor" which means that you talk a lot about what you have close to your heart/on your mind. "My hart is vol" is therefore an idiomatic expression of having something on your mind/close to your heart.

"Vandag gaan ons twee koring sny" means that your are going to work hard and that the end is in sight. This originates from a long time ago where long hours were spent with sickles harvesting crops, and people looked forward to drinking and partying after the work has bene done. (Not 100% sure about this one.)

Hope this helped bro, geniet jou studies!

Afrikaans is a very simple language. Although Dutch is very similar to Afrikaans, it won't make it much easier as the languages still differ drastically. If your dutch is good, you will most probably find Afrikaans very easy.

My advice (as with any language): Try to talk to as many people as you can while you're here. People tend (not always, same in every counry) to be very helpful here with regards to teaching you their language. And as always, you can leave a question here and I'll answer it when I have some time. Although I've been quite busy the last month or so, I'll pop in every week or so and have a look at any further questions.

Awe (Capetonian dialect) = hello, how are you?, awesome, agreed, nicely done

Jis (From the English 'yes') = hello, how are you?

Ja-nee (Afrikaans flavouring) = Kind of, I'm unsure, definitely, maybe... (very contextual)

Nou-nou = later (nou = now, nou-nou = later.... yeah it's weird. We also have a word 'later' which has the same meaning as 'nou-nou')

These are four VERY colloquial words/expression that will make sound more 'Afrikaans'.
