One-to-one General/Business

Afrikaans Course in Reading

Whether you're looking to learn a language for personal or business reasons, our tailor-made courses can help you achieve your aims.

General Afrikaans courses will cover Survival Afrikaans, allowing you to be comfortable during short visits to the country; polite conversation, practicable vocabulary and a strong grammatical foundation. A Business course will focus on business protocol in Afrikaans, and later on reading and writing will become more important.

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. Likewise, a General course can include specific elements that are integral to your needs, for example if you need vocabulary specific to buying property overseas.

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. 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 Reading

A small town with a population of around 250,000 people in the urban area, Reading is located west of London and is a major retail centre, with two major shopping malls and three smaller-scale arcades. It is also the location for the annual Reading music festival, which started in 1971 and has continued to grow in popularity.

Reading has a fairly wide diversity of ethnicity; featuring a large Afro-Caribbean contingent and many from the south Asian subcontinent. This makes it a great city in which to learn languages like Chinese, Hindi and Urdu; though with its proximity to London, finding teachers of other languages is no difficulty.

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.
