One-to-one General/Business

Afrikaans Course in Dudley

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.

While a General Afrikaans course will provide you with enough linguistic ammunition to allow you to survive a short visit to the country (greetings, basic conversation and a solid 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. Similarly, General courses can delve deeper into certain areas of the language that you know you will need.

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 Dudley

A large settlement in the heart of the West Midlands, Dudley is the biggest town in the UK without a university. The city is steeped in history, with a market established way back in 1260 and many old churches and castles that date back even further. Many areas of the Dudley Metropolitan District have a high Asian population and a burgeoning Islamic community, making the city a great place to learn Hindi or Urdu.

The Dudley accent, a 'Black Country' accent, is very distinctive; and along with that of Birmingham was voted the least sexy accent in the UK - it breaks almost all the rules of standard British Received Pronunciation, though that doesn't particularly bother the town's residents.

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.
