   Yeah I suppose even "quasi" intelligible isn't quite accurate.
   
   There might be the occasional word in a given sentence that's somewhat recognizable, but it likely wouldn't result in a totally inexperienced speaker being able to understand the whole sentence.
   
   For fun, I wrote out a couple random sentences in English and used Google Translate to get the Dutch translation... Then I went from English to Afrikaans...
   
   English:
   hi my name is carl. i enjoy sports and travelling around the world.
   
   Dutch:
   hallo mijn naam is carl. ik geniet van sporten en reizen over de hele wereld.
   
   Afrikaans:
   hi my naam is carl. Ek geniet sport en reis oor die wêreld.
   
   Definitely way more similarities between Dutch and Afrikaans than between English and either.

   By the by, written Afrikaans is easy to comprehend for someone who reads Dutch, the spoken variety is a little harder.

    Quite the opposite. South Africa used to be a Dutch colony.

    Also not knowing the difference between Germany and Holland is some top tier ignorance.
