One-to-one General/Business
Afrikaans Course in Warrington
It's no problem if you need to take Afrikaans lessons specifically for personal use or to help with your career - our trainers mould the lesson plan to your precise needs.
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.
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. 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.
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. General courses in Afrikaans suit those hoping to emigrate to foreign shores, people with a view to travel to countries where Afrikaans is the vernacular tongue, those with a keen interest in Afrikaans culture and language, and people with foreign spouses.

Info about Warrington
A borough and large town in Cheshire, Warrington was founded back in Roman times due to its location as an advantageous crossing point over the river Mersey. The town has grown steadily since those times and is now home to around 195,000 people.
The town has a definite emphasis on culture, with a sizeable concert hall, arts centre, museum and many public libraries; residents of the borough also celebrate several annual festivals and 'walking days', most of which are ceremonies marking days in the history of the town and surrounding villages. Warrington town has a relatively young population, and is a great atmosphere in which to start learning 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.
