Our native speaker qualified Afrikaans language teachers can train you and your colleagues at your office or home at a time to suit you. Classes can be any day of the week (even weekends) in the morning, afternoon or evening. In certain circumstances, if your home or office is not suitable, you can take your classes at the trainer's office. Lesson books 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 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 lesson, students can expect to finish the lesson with decent telephone and e-mail Afrikaans, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the 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.
Washington DC
Whilst the capital of the United States has a motto 'Justitia Omnibus' ('Justice for All'), it's pretty safe to say that Washington DC also offers 'Languages for All.' Language learners are in fertile pastures in the national capital, all because of the distinct cosmopolitan flavor of the city and district. Washington DC is the site for over 180 embassies, scores of worldwide organizations, ethnically diverse immigrants and those with varied ancestral origins, international students and a virtual flood of tourists. It doesn't get any better than this in terms of exposure to the languages of the world - all from the comfort of your own home. Start to study a new language in Washington DC, and marvel at not only your rapid progress, but the relevance of the language in a daily context. It's all on offer for the language learner in Washington DC.
