One-to-one General/Business

Afrikaans Course in Doncaster

Whether you're looking to learn a language for personal or business reasons, our tailor-made courses can help you achieve your aims.

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 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 arrange Business courses for many clients; primarily those working in international trade, overseas governments and universities, and employees of multinational firms who require a second language. General courses cater mostly to those who wish to learn Afrikaans for short trips to (or through) a country where it is widely spoken; as well as those who wish to pass a specific Afrikaans exam, people who want to buy a home abroad, and people marrying into a Afrikaans family.

Info about Doncaster

As a sizeable South Yorkshire settlement, the town of Doncaster is a city currently undergoing exciting development: along with its brand new international airport the city centre is being developed for retail, transport and education - a massively ambitious project.

Birthplace of Brian Blessed, Jeremy Clarkson and Kevin Keegan, Doncaster's population demographic is rather less diverse than that of surrounding areas: over 95% of the population are white, UK-born residents; but with the recent opening of the Robin Hood International Airport, Doncaster will no doubt be recognised as an valuable European hub. Transport links to Europe are made even easier by the Doncaster Railport, with an important link to the Channel Tunnel; making Doncaster an unexpectedly upbeat town in which to learn 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.
