These courses in German are wider-ranging in their nature, and are driven towards students who have a variety of differing needs. All beginner students will expect to study enough survival German to get them through a short visit to the country, those staying on with the course can progress differently, depending on their individual requests and requirements. Whether you are buying property in a foreign country, married to a foreign national, planning a round-the-world trip, interested in German history and culture, or if you simply want to attain a particular level of German, this is the choice for you.
German courses of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn German to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies, and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Just our most basic beginners course will have the student finishing the course with basic telephone/e-mail skills in German, as well as survival German should a short stay in the country be needed.
2 or more people can benefit studying German together as these German courses are also offered to groups (Two-to-One German Course or Small Group In-Company German Course). Every student must have the same degree of knowledge of the language, the same business or language needs and the ability to study at the same time and place as everybody else. The booking has to be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advocate group sessions of more than 6-8 people, though Taster German Courses can be experienced by up to 12 people.

German Testimonials
"Zack is a great teacher, he is so kind and serious, and also flexible to meet the demands. I took his courses for 1 months before I moved to Germany and it was great that I could already communicate with German people when I arrived here. Thanks Zack and thanks 'listen and learn'. "
Anaheim
Don't tell the people of Anaheim, California that they live in a suburb of Los Angeles. This fast-growing city has a culture and an attitude all its own. When urban sprawl first hit Los Angeles, many residents moved south to Anaheim where they could enjoy more space to build their homes and start their businesses. As a result, Anaheim has become the center of Orange County, and is now known for much more than its most famous residents: Mickey Mouse and Disneyland. The Hispanic population of Anaheim is significant, as would be expected with its proximity to the Mexican-United States border. Hispanic men and women currently comprise over 40% of the entire population, making Spanish an ideal language to learn if you live in the area. Also prominent in Anaheim are Asian-Americans, African-Americans and of course the thousands of different nationalities who visit the Disneyland theme park every year. You might say it is the 'happiest place on Earth' to learn a new language!
