One-to-one General/Business

Afrikaans Course in Bournemouth

Whether you want Afrikaans lessons to help you in your general day-to-day life or for business needs, our made-to-order language courses can help you improve quickly and confidently.

General Afrikaans courses will provide you with enough grammar and vocabulary to allow you to converse with native speakers, and form a strong basis for further learning. A Business course will focus on business protocol in Afrikaans, and later on reading and writing will become more important.

The exact syllabus is not determined simply in terms of 'General' or 'Business' - the course is tailor-made to your needs. If, as a Business student, you need extra focus on telephone or email communication, or vocabulary from a specific field of business, you only need mention this to your tutor. Equally, a General course will cover the fundamentals, but further focus in any particular area can easily be arranged with your teacher.

Typical learners who choose our Business courses are import/export professionals, agents for multi-national companies, and those involved with foreign governments and universities. 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 Bournemouth

A sizeable south coast town and tourist resort, Bournemouth houses around 165,000 people. With its long stretches of beach (providing pretty good surfing by UK standards) and much-vaunted nightlife, the town has become a lot more youthful in recent years; having previously been known as 'God's Waiting Room'. Yet the city still maintains its reputation as a bustling seaside resort, but one still capable of a bit of amiable peace and quiet given the chance.

Bournemouth has always attracted its fair share of visitors to the city, both domestic and international, due mainly to its warm summer climate and coastal location. This has led to a rich variety of languages being spoken throughout the city and surrounding areas, making it a great place to learn and exercise a new 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.
