German Facts

32% of citizens in the EU-15 countries claim to be able to converse in German, either as a mother tongue or a second language

Until circa 1800, standard German was pretty much only a written language, due to the variety of regional dialects

Germany is spoken primarily in Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and Switzerland, as well as in some border villages of Denmark - though German-speaking communities have survived in places such as Hungary, Russia and Kazakhstan

German 1 to 1 Business

These courses in German are meant for those that feel that learning German would make a change in their work. For starters, it is expedient to learn how to say hello/goodbye, as well as basic business protocol; once the basics have been mastered, reading and writing come to the fore. Students who have greatly benefitted have been involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where another language is required, and those working in the international academia and government circuits. Even on our most fundamental beginner's course, students can anticipate ending the course with basic telephone German and e-mail German skills for communicating, as well as survival German if a short visit to the country is needed.

German 1 to 1 General

This set of German tutorials are less specific and more targeted at those who want to get a range of different things from learning German. Even though all novice students will cover survival German: enough German 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 courses have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in German culture, and those who just want to pass a specific examination in German.
