One-to-one General/Business

Afrikaans Course in Bolton

It's no problem if you need to take Afrikaans lessons specifically for personal use or to help with your career - our trainers mould the lesson plan to your precise needs.

General Afrikaans courses will cover Survival Afrikaans, allowing you to be comfortable during short visits to the country; polite conversation, practicable vocabulary and a strong grammatical foundation. A Business course in Afrikaans will generally cover basic business etiquette in that language, and at a higher level, reading and writing in Afrikaans.

Our Afrikaans courses would not be fixed to a specific curriculum, however. You know the specifics of what you will need from your new language, and all you need do is tell your teacher. Perhaps if you are taking a Business course, you may want to focus more on Afrikaans telephone or email skills, or a specific vocabulary for your line of work. Equally, a General course will cover the fundamentals, but further focus in any particular area can easily be arranged with your teacher.

We have a wide range of Business course clients for a variety of needs; including people who are off to work for a foreign administration, people working in a corporation with overseas headquarters, and import/export specialists. Clients of our General Afrikaans courses include people moving abroad, those entering a Afrikaans family through marriage, those studying for a Afrikaans exam, as well as those who are simply passionate about Afrikaans language and culture.

Info about Bolton

Home to the 'friendliest people in Britain', Bolton is home to around 150,000 people and has an almost surprisingly lively tourism industry. The north-west is youthful area of the UK, and the average age around the city is around 38, fitting in with the region. In fact the local council aims to make Bolton 'a great place to grow up, live, learn, work, do business and visit'.

Bolton is also famed for being the birthplace of comedian Peter Kay; who in many ways put Bolton 'back on the map', since the vestige of their former fame lay in their epic cotton manufacturing period during the industrial revolution. Either way, Bolton may not seem like a place you would expect to associate with first class language tuition, but there are plenty of qualified trainers just waiting for you to book classes in your target language.

Info about Afrikaans

Originating from 17th century Dutch, Afrikaans is mainly spoken in South Africa and Namibia, though there are communities found throughout Africa. The language was considered a dialect of Dutch until the late 1800s, when it was pronounced an official language in its own right; though even today Dutch and Afrikaans are pretty much mutually intelligible. The language has spread and influenced other cultures: London has its own newspaper in Afrikaans - Die Stem; South African English has many loan words from Afrikaans; and there is a growing scene for musicians singing in the language.

Afrikaans is a rich and appealing language with a fascinating history and complicated social history, though its future as an official language of South Africa could well be under dispute.
