Your qualified, native-speaking trainer will provide materials and cover areas of particular interest to you or your company.

Lessons are arranged for a time that is convenient for you (morning, afternoon, evening; work days or weekends), and can be held at your home or office.
One-to-one General/Business
Afrikaans Course in Milton Keynes
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.
Courses are, however, tailor-made - you cover in your lessons what you need to cover. Most students taking a Business Afrikaans course will gain telephone and email expertise, as well as general conversation skills. Similarly, General courses can delve deeper into certain areas of the language that you know you will need.
Typical Business course students include those in international import/export, those hoping to gain acquisitions in foreign countries, those within multinational corporations, and people who do business with foreign institutions and governments. 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 Milton Keynes
Ideally (and deliberately) situated halfway between several key English cities (namely London, Oxford, Birmingham, Cambridge and Leicester), Milton Keynes is one of the UK's 'new cities' in the south east. Planned during the 1960s to alleviate crowding in the capital, the city's site was just one of many carefully-considered strategies employed to make Milton Keynes flourishing city in its own right.
With around 185,000 people living in the urban area, Milton Keynes attracts youthful residents, and there is an increasing diversity of ethnicity, making it a city of ample linguistic interest and a thriving city in which to learn a second 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.
