About this course

Is Afrikaans your native language or do you have a strong command of it? In that case, your journey to learning Dutch will differ from that of most other non-native speakers who learn the Dutch language. You can probably understand it with little effort, but speaking it fluently is another challenge entirely.

Afrikaans and Dutch are very similar, yet in some respects they are worlds apart. Although the words are sometimes exactly the same, they are pronounced differently. The grammar has a lot in common too, but there are notable differences.

Our teachers have a genuine love for the Afrikaans language

Sometimes a standard language course simply doesn't fully meet your needs. That's why at Baay Dutch Language Courses we offer special courses designed specifically for people who speak Afrikaans as their native language. We focus on the differences and similarities between the two languages and address the topics that need some extra attention.

Our teachers have a genuine love for the Afrikaans language and South Africa, and have gained many years of hands-on experience teaching Dutch to South Africans. We have also travelled to the African continent repeatedly to experience the language and culture ourselves, and continue to do so regularly.
