I'm interested in learning Afrikaans but there aren't a ton of resources available on learning the language.
Duolingo has an excellent free course on learning Dutch though. Is Dutch similar enough to the point I would understand Afrikaans if I learned it? I've heard people claim Dutch and Afrikaans are very mutually intelligible.

There's a couple android apps to learn afrikaans. Also, you will want to listen to some of their radios to expose yourself to the language and pronunciation.

Better learn Swahilli or some nigger language quec

What about hicks speaking spanish?
Of course it will help, Afrikaans is not even a language it is just Cape Dutch (a dialect). It shouldn't even be standardized.
It will absolutely help a lot in reading Afrikaans
Understanding spoken language is a lot more difficult

You need to have a high level of Dutch before you understand Afrikaans.
Reading the language is easier than hearing or speaking it, but they will understand Dutch mostly.
When you hear Afrikaans a lot around you, you will get used to it and you will understand spoken Afrikaans too.
