One-to-one General/Business

Afrikaans Course in Rotherham

It doesn't matter if you want to learn Afrikaans for business or pleasure - our customised language courses will help you get where you want to be.

A General course in Afrikaans will grant you 'Survival Afrikaans' - enough under your belt to furnish you with a working knowledge for the purpose of visiting the country, allowing you to introduce yourself and engage in conversation with native speakers. A Business course in Afrikaans will generally cover basic business etiquette in that language, and at a higher level, reading and writing in Afrikaans.


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.


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. 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 Rotherham


Located in South Yorkshire, Rotherham is a large town with around 120,000 residents, and about 250,000 live in the borough. A powerhouse of steel manufacture during the industrial age, the town is currently undergoing a huge regeneration project to breathe life into the town centre.

Rotherham is also the hometown of the Chuckle Brothers, who have been making legendary children's comedy for over 20 years. However, Rotherham in more recent years has built up a solid reputation for its vibrant clubbing circuit, often attracting many people from nearby cities like Sheffield and Doncaster.


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.
