These German courses 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 courses 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 course for Beginners, students should expect to end the course with basic Telephone German and e-mail German skills for communications as well as Survival German required for short visits to a country.
The German courses are also available for 2 or more people studying together (Two-to-One German Course or Small Group In-Company German Course). All participants must have the same level, the same business or general language needs and be able to study at the same time in the same location. The booking must be made for all participants at the same time. Listen & Learn do not recommend group classes of more than 6-8 people although In-Company Taster German Courses can be run with 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'. KZ@Duesseldorf"
Austin
In addition to being the fourth largest city in Texas and the 16th largest in the United States, Austin is also the educational and cultural capital of Texas. Home to the University of Texas' biggest campus, many of our top business minds and scientists have learned and honed their craft in Austin. Every year, the city plays host to the South by Southwest Festival a gathering of top filmmakers and independent musicians from around the world. The quality of life in Austin is considered to be very high. Money Magazine once rated the city the '#1 place to live in the United States' and it is always making appearances on listings of the 'greenest' cities in America. The diverse population that is attracted by the University of Texas campus includes people of almost every race and nationality. Learning a new language in Austin provides a way to communicate with both the students who attend the University and the many professionals who call Austin their adopted home.
