Afrkaans for Beginners

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course targets new foreign students with no knowledge of Afrikaans. This is a fun filled course offering you a linguistic and cultural taste of Afrikaans as a language in a wider cultural context. It aims to develop students' ability to speak social Afrikaans with confidence, to understand the gift of social conversations, and to understand the gist of short texts (newspaper articles, notices, etc.). Basic grammar, vocabulary, and idiomatic structures are taught in a defocused manner.
