One-to-one General/Business

Afrikaans Course in Salford

Whether you want Afrikaans lessons to help you in your general day-to-day life or for business needs, our made-to-order language courses can help you improve quickly and confidently.

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. Business courses will centre more on formal, business communication, and focus more on reading and writing skills as you advance further.

It is your first session and your own requirements, however, which decide the precise content of the course. A Business course will generally include common conversational topics, as well as gaining greater fluency with writing letters and emails in Afrikaans, as well as using the telephone. In the same vein, the syllabus for General courses is not set in stone - all you need do is ask your teacher.

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 Salford

While the City of Salford district in Greater Manchester has over 218,000 residents, only around 75,000 of these actually live in the city itself. This is mainly due to a citywide state of decline after the Second World War, though conversely areas such as Salford Quays are particularly affluent.

The city of Salford is the home of the world's first free public library, and today the city is a haven of higher education for the area, with a university attended by more than 19,000 students. Salford has also made a name for itself as a host for many artists, mainly due to low living costs and plenty of deserted yet inspiring mills and buildings.

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.
