Our native-speaking qualified German teachers can guide you and your group at your work or at home, at a time convenient to you.

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.
These German lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn German to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners course, students can expect to finish the course with decent telephone and e-mail German, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the 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"
Chandler
The last twenty years have seen a population boom in the state of Arizona, and few towns have benefitted from this growth as much as a Chandler. In fact, since the year 2000, Chandler has been known as the 'fastest growing city in America' according to several published reports. This is due to its proximity to the city of Phoenix and a thriving business community that includes hub offices for Intel Corporation, Motorola and other Fortune 500 businesses. Once the location for small tract homes inhabited by rough-and-tumble western frontier types, many CEOs and high-ranking executives now live in Chandler. The population is predominantly white, but 20% of the community is Hispanic. The business transacted at the major communications companies in the area is quite often done with other industries in the Pacific Rim, making Japanese and Chinese languages an important part of doing business there.
