German 1 to 1 Business

Those who would benefit the most from these German tutorials are those who feel they need to learn German to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing courses can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest course for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail German, as well as survival German should a visit to the country be necessary.

German 1 to 1 General

German courses of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival German - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying German usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these German classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in German culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in German.

Brighton

Brighton is on the south coast of England, and is one of the UK's largest and most prominent seaside resorts. The city and surrounding urban area are extremely popular with tourists, boasting many hospitality and entertainment facilities, and the city is home to around 480,000 people. Brighton and its nearby neighbour Hove were awarded city status in 2000. It is also an educational hotspot, boasting 2 universities and numerous English language schools. Originally a small fishing village called Brighthelmstone, Brighton became a fashionable destination for day-trippers in the 19th century when rail travel first made the idea feasible. A major attraction is the pebble beach, which features many bars, restaurants, nightclubs and arcades; giving Brighton the nickname London-by-the-sea.
