One-to-one General/Business

Afrikaans Course in Wirral

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 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 are great for those whose career will be moving overseas - you would learn the fundamental protocols for engaging in business in Afrikaans, and later would start to focus more on the integral skills of reading and writing.

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.

We arrange Business courses for many clients; primarily those working in international trade, overseas governments and universities, and employees of multinational firms who require a second language. 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 Wirral

Wirral is a peninsula and metropolitan borough with over 300,000 residents, located in Merseyside on the northwest coast. There are several prominent towns and villages in the area, and the borough has many excellent educational institutions compared with surrounding boroughs.

There are a wide variety of accents in the Wirral peninsula - thanks to the Liverpool and Cheshire influence, in some areas people have a mixture of the two regional accents. People in areas where the Liverpool accent is particularly strong have earned the nickname 'Plastic Scousers'!

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.
