Our Afrikaans speakers, fully qualified to teach their native tongue, can train you and, if need be, the rest of your group at a time that is suitable to you, at your home or place of work. Sessions can take place on the day of your choosing - even weekends - and at the time you want: whether it be morning, afternoon or evening. If circumstances arise where your home or office is not convenient, the classes can be held at your trainer's office. Resources for the lesson are provided for you.
Afrikaans lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Afrikaans - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Afrikaans usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Afrikaans classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Afrikaans culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Afrikaans.
Those who would benefit the most from these Afrikaans tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Afrikaans to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing lessons can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest lesson for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Afrikaans, as well as survival Afrikaans should a visit to the country be necessary.
If there are 2 or more of you with the same level of Afrikaans, the same targets within the language, and be able to study at the same time and location, then you'll be happy to know that these Afrikaans lessons can also be made available for Two-to-One Afrikaans Lessons or Small Group In-Company Afrikaans Lessons. Listen & Learn do not generally recommend classes of more than 6-8 people, although Taster lessons in Afrikaans can run with up to 12 people. Bookings must be made for all participants at the same time.
Coquitlam
A part of metropolitan Vancouver, Coquitlam is a large city unto itself, with over 125,000 people currently living inside its borders. Coquitlam is known throughout Canada for its coastal exports and sea-based businesses, which have provided a large portion of the funds flowing into the local economy since the 1950's. The biggest employers in Coquitlam are the town itself, Art in Motion and the large casino that brings in thousands of visitors from around the neighboring cities each week. Over a full third of the population is Korean, Chinese or South Asian which means that the best languages to learn in Coquitlam are those from the Pacific Rim countries.
