One-to-one General/Business

Afrikaans Course in Wolverhampton

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.

While a General Afrikaans course will provide you with enough linguistic ammunition to allow you to survive a short visit to the country (greetings, basic conversation and a solid 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.

The exact syllabus is not determined simply in terms of 'General' or 'Business' - the course is tailor-made to your needs. If, as a Business student, you need extra focus on telephone or email communication, or vocabulary from a specific field of business, you only need mention this to your tutor. Similarly, General courses can delve deeper into certain areas of the language that you know you will need.

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 Wolverhampton

With an estimated resident population of around 250,000 people, Wolverhampton is a West Midlands city with plenty of character. The city has a great ethnic diversity, with almost a quarter of the population being of non-UK origin. This has created a real melting pot of cultures in the area, making Wolverhampton a prime location to learn a second language.

Wolverhampton was originally a market town specialising in the trading of wool, though since the industrial age the major industry in the city is centred around engineering. The city is also the homes of one of the oldest football clubs in the country - Wolverhampton Wanderers FC.

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.
