German 1 to 1 General
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.
German 1 to 1 Business
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.
German Group Lessons
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
"The German course is going great. German is a very difficult language - I didn't think I would be able to understand the grammar, but it is starting to make sense!
Susanne has been a great teacher. She has so much patience and we actually have fun during our time together.

Paula Paladino - German course in Las Vegas
Houston
A diverse place with around 90 languages spoken within city limits, Houston has one of the youngest populations in Texas and the USA as a whole. With over 2 million people living in a 600 square mile area, the city is a melting pot of culture, heritage, and language.
Houston has attracted tens of thousands of Asian immigrants, especially from Vietnam and China - in fact, the city has not one, but two Chinatowns! This gives the city an incredible depth for learning (and practicing) a foreign language, especially if you want to learn something more 'exotic' than the norm.
