One-to-one General/Business
Afrikaans Course in Peterborough
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.
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.
The exact syllabus is not determined simply in terms of 'General' or 'Business' - the course is tailor-made to your needs. If, as a Business student, you need extra focus on telephone or email communication, or vocabulary from a specific field of business, you only need mention this to your tutor. Equally, a General course will cover the fundamentals, but further focus in any particular area can easily be arranged with 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. General courses are not simply for those who need to reach a certain level of Afrikaans for an exam - they are perfect for those wishing to pack up and move abroad, those marrying a Afrikaans national, as well as those travelling to the country for any other reason.

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.

Ola Paula, My lessons are going very well and I am enjoying them. Maje is keeping me on my toes and I feel I am making progress. She works very hard to prepare interesting work and I am enjoying the huge variety of exercises, reading passages and writing tasks. She is certainly fulfilling the programme we set out at the beginning of the course. Hope this is enough. PS my home computer is down for the next couple of weeks and I am having to pick emails up at the local public library. Un saludo James
