Afrikaans Courses
Course overview
Afrikaans is one of South Africa’s 11 official languages and is widely spoken across the country, particularly in the Western Cape, Northern Cape, and Gauteng. It evolved from Dutch and shares similarities with German and English, making it relatively easy to learn for speakers of these languages. Afrikaans is not only a language of communication but also a gateway to understanding South African history and culture.
