These German lessons are more general in nature and are targeted at students with a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival German - required for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local population, students then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, German culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular German examination.
These German Lessons are intended for people who really need to learn German to help make that difference in their work. For beginners, it will be useful to learn greetings and basic business etiquette, at higher levels reading and then writing become more important. Typical students include those involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where an additional language is required, and those working with international colleagues, academia and government. Even on our most basic lesson for Beginners, students should expect to end the lesson with basic Telephone German and e-mail German skills for communications as well as Survival German required for short visits to a country.

Anchorage
With over 250,000 residents, Anchorage is home to almost half of the entire population of Alaska. One of the most beautiful cities in the world, there are over 200 recognized mountains and 30 lakes within a 50 miles radius of Anchorage. And in terms of sheer size, it is hard to beat as it is as big as the entire state of Delaware. Home to Alaskan natives, a thriving Hispanic community and even a number of individuals from Korea and Japan, Anchorage is a small-scale 'Tower of Babel' set in an icy climate to the northwest of the continental United States. With commerce that spans everywhere from Russia to the Pacific Rim, and a unique mixture of different nationalities, those who are tough enough to live in Anchorage can benefit greatly from learning a foreign language. Need more proof? Consider this: 94 different languages are spoken in the Anchorage School District.
