Our native-speaking qualified Afrikaans teachers can guide you and your group at your work or at home, at a time convenient to you. Classes can take place on any day of the week - even weekends - morning, afternoon or evening. If needs be, if meeting at your office or home is not suitable, you can take your lessons at the trainer's office. Study materials are supplied for you.
Afrikaans courses 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.
These Afrikaans lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Afrikaans to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners course, students can expect to finish the course with decent telephone and e-mail Afrikaans, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.
Courses in Afrikaans are also accessible for 2 or more studying in tandem (Two-to-One Afrikaans Course or Small Group In-Company Afrikaans Course). All those involved must have around the same experience of the language, similar needs of areas of proficiency, and must be able to work at the same time and place. Bookings must be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advise classes of more than 6-8 people, although In-Company Taster Afrikaans sessions can be run with as many as 12 people.
