One-to-one General/Business
Afrikaans Course in Hull
Whether you're looking to learn a language for personal or business reasons, our tailor-made courses can help you achieve your aims.
General and Business courses in Afrikaans differ in style and content: a General course will concentrate on developing confident conversational skills, making short visits to the country less of an exercise in frustration and more about building upon the foundations to your own ends. A Business course in Afrikaans will generally cover basic business etiquette in that language, and at a higher level, reading and writing in Afrikaans.
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.
We have a wide range of Business course clients for a variety of needs; including people who are off to work for a foreign administration, people working in a corporation with overseas headquarters, and import/export specialists. 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 Hull
Hull, or Kingston upon Hull to give the city its full name, was founded during the 12th century and throughout its history has been an extremely important city for the UK. Nowadays the city is an essential port city, with a population bordering on a quarter of a million.
The city of Hull is sometimes seen as something of an oddity - it's a large, sprawling, industrial city situated right in the middle of a mostly rural area of Yorkshire. While it was recently voted one of the worst places in the UK to live, most Hull natives are proud to be so, emphasising the residents' friendly disposition and working-class mindset.
With its thriving port, Hull attracts plenty of overseas visitors, making it an ideal spot to start learning a foreign 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.
