One-to-one General/Business
Afrikaans Course in Nottingham
Whether you're looking to learn a language for personal or business reasons, our tailor-made courses can help you achieve your aims.
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 are aimed at those wishing to work in the target language - so a working knowledge of etiquette in Afrikaans business, as well as developing proficient reading and writing skills.
The possibilities are not limited to these two categories, however. Those taking a Business course will generally also learn Afrikaans telephone and email skills, as well as learning the basics for surviving short visits to the country. In the same vein, the syllabus for General courses is not set in stone - all you need do is ask your teacher.
We arrange Business courses for many clients; primarily those working in international trade, overseas governments and universities, and employees of multinational firms who require a second language. 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 Nottingham
Centrally located with a city population of just under 300,000 residents, Nottingham is a large, bustling city in the East Midlands. Famous for the origin of the Robin Hood legend, the city is very student-oriented, with both a campus and city university within the urban area. Together, both universities are attended by more than 40,000 students, including a large Chinese contingent.
Nottingham is a cosmopolitan city with large Asian and black communities in both the city and surrounding area; and this multiculturalism continues to expand with further immigration from the Middle East, Africa and Europe - not to mention the myriad of different cultures who come to the city to study. With its internationalism and innumerable foreign students, living in Nottingham alone is almost a first-rate excuse to pick up a new 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.
