One-to-one General/Business

Afrikaans Course in Exeter

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 provide you with enough grammar and vocabulary to allow you to converse with native speakers, and form a strong basis for further learning. Business courses will centre more on formal, business communication, and focus more on reading and writing skills as you advance further.


It is your first session and your own requirements, however, which decide the precise content of the course. A Business course will generally include common conversational topics, as well as gaining greater fluency with writing letters and emails in Afrikaans, as well as using the telephone. 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.


Our Business courses cater to a range of requirements. Many of our clients work for foreign governments and educational institutions, corporations with branches abroad, as well as those who buy and sell around the world. 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 Exeter


Devon's county town, Exeter is a sizeable town in the south of England, home to around 125,000 people. Exeter is also home to the Met Office, the primary weather forecasters in the UK. Dating back to Roman times, the town has expanded in size dramatically in the past decade, and due to the south coast weather and peaceful nature of the town, continues to attract both domestic and international immigrants.

Exeter is a great place to learn a new language, even though its residents are mostly English - there are a wide variety of teachers available, and the calm atmosphere of the town is ideal for study.


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.
