Your colleagues and yourself can be trained by our native-speaking fully-qualified Afrikaans tutors at a time and location to suit you. Classes can take place any day, even weekends, and can happen in the morning, afternoon or evening. If the case may be that your home or office is not convenient, there is always the option to take your classes at the office of your teacher. Study books for the lesson are provided.
This set of Afrikaans tutorials are less specific and more targeted at those who want to get a range of different things from learning Afrikaans. Even though all novice students will cover survival Afrikaans: enough Afrikaans to make a visit to the country or make good contacts with the locals, but what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefitted from these lessons have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in Afrikaans culture, and those who just want to pass a specific examination in Afrikaans.
These Afrikaans Lessons are intended for people who really need to learn Afrikaans to help make that difference in their work. For beginners, it will be useful to learn greetings and basic business etiquette, at higher levels reading and then writing become more important. Typical students include those involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where an additional language is required, and those working with international colleagues, academia and government. Even on our most basic lesson for Beginners, students should expect to end the lesson with basic Telephone Afrikaans and e-mail Afrikaans skills for communications as well as Survival Afrikaans required for short visits to a country.
2 or more people can benefit studying Afrikaans together as these Afrikaans lessons are also offered to groups (Two-to-One Afrikaans Lesson or Small Group In-Company Afrikaans Lesson). Every student must have the same degree of knowledge of the language, the same business or language needs and the ability to study at the same time and place as everybody else. The booking has to be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advocate group sessions of more than 6-8 people, though Taster Afrikaans Lessons can be experienced by up to 12 people.
