One-to-one General/Business

Afrikaans Course in Sunderland

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.

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. A Business course in Afrikaans will generally cover basic business etiquette in that language, and at a higher level, reading and writing in Afrikaans.

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. 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. 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 Sunderland

Sunderland is a substantial city in Tyne and Wear, with around 290,000 residents in the city and surrounding area. Historically famed for its shipbuilding and glassmaking, the city's manufacturing industries have now deteriorated, mainly thanks to widespread bombing during the Second World War.

While the city as a whole is predominantly white, immigration has increased over the last decade, bringing in many families from Europe and Asia. This has increased the amount of languages spoken around the city, making it an increasingly interesting city for picking 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.
