One-to-one General/Business

Afrikaans Course in Leeds

If you want to be taught Afrikaans for academic reasons, business needs or gain a working knowledge of the language for general purposes, our tailormade lessons are guaranteed to be the ideal solution.

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). 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 vein, the syllabus for General courses is not set in stone - all you need do is ask your 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. Our General courses cater for people aiming to purchase overseas property, globetrotters, Afrikaans language and culture devotees, as well as people who need to pass a particular Afrikaans exam.

With this constant influx of people from all around the world, Leeds is a remarkably good spot to start learning a new language. With a large south Asian population and a notable Chinese contingent, there are plenty of opportunities around the city for daily practice, and with your native speaker tutor, you'll be making huge leaps in a fraction of the time it would take with a regular course.

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.
