One-to-one General/Business

Afrikaans Course in Wigan

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.

Our Afrikaans courses would not be fixed to a specific curriculum, however. You know the specifics of what you will need from your new language, and all you need do is tell your teacher. Perhaps if you are taking a Business course, you may want to focus more on Afrikaans telephone or email skills, or a specific vocabulary for your line of work. Equally, a General course will cover the fundamentals, but further focus in any particular area can easily be arranged with your teacher.

Typical learners who choose our Business courses are import/export professionals, agents for multi-national companies, and those involved with foreign governments and universities. 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 Wigan

Standing on the river Douglas around 20 miles from Manchester and Liverpool, Wigan is a large town with a fascinating history stretching back to the times of Celtic tribes. The town is famed for many things, including many musical legends such as George Formby Jr. And Sr., having the highest density of pubs and social clubs of any UK city, and of course, the annual World Pie Eating Championship.

Wigan has many minority communities scattered around the town and its suburbs; including Chinese, Caribbean, Pakistani, Indian and many from African nations. This makes it something of a multi-lingual town, and an excellent place to start finding your way in a brand new tongue.

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.
