You and your group can be trained by our native speaker qualified Afrikaans teachers, and can meet at your place of work or home at a time convenient to you. Tutorials can take place any day of the week, including weekends, and can be scheduled for the morning, afternoon or evening.

These courses in Afrikaans are wider-ranging in their nature, and are driven towards students who have a variety of differing needs. All beginner students will expect to study enough survival Afrikaans to get them through a short visit to the country, those staying on with the course can progress differently, depending on their individual requests and requirements. Whether you are buying property in a foreign country, married to a foreign national, planning a round-the-world trip, interested in Afrikaans history and culture, or if you simply want to attain a particular level of Afrikaans, this is the choice for you.
These Afrikaans courses 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 course for Beginners, students should expect to end the course 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 courses are also offered to groups (Two-to-One Afrikaans Course or Small Group In-Company Afrikaans Course). 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 Courses can be experienced by up to 12 people.
Riverside
Located in the center of Southern California's Inland Empire, Riverside California is city where the California citrus industry was born. But what was once the home of miles and miles of orange groves, is now the home base of thriving technology businesses, luxury homes and a diverse population that represents the changes the Los Angeles area has seen over the past five decades. Although congested traffic keeps some areas more densely packed than others, there is still room for growth in Riverside. The area has historically enjoyed some of the lowest real estate prices in the California market leading to a spurt in home sales that brought more people and consumer-based businesses to the area. The Mexican-American population in this city of 300,000 people is large with almost half the residents speaking Spanish as their first language. Therefore, keeping pace in Riverside means that learning the Spanish language is a top priority.
