One-to-one General/Business
Afrikaans Course in Cambridge
It doesn't matter if you want to learn Afrikaans for business or pleasure - our customised language courses will help you get where you want to be.
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 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. In the same way, those taking a General course who may need more knowledge of a certain aspect of Afrikaans need only request it from their 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. General courses in Afrikaans suit those hoping to emigrate to foreign shores, people with a view to travel to countries where Afrikaans is the vernacular tongue, those with a keen interest in Afrikaans culture and language, and people with foreign spouses.

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.

My girlfriend recommended Language Trainers to me, and I thank her for it. My English has improved a lot in just the last two months, and it has made it easier to do my job and also talk to my English friends. I can finally even joke with them about football!
