Our native-speaking qualified German teachers can guide you and your group at your work or at home, at a time convenient to you. Classes can take place on any day of the week - even weekends - morning, afternoon or evening. If needs be, if meeting at your office or home is not suitable, you can take your lessons at the trainer's office. Study materials are supplied for you.
This set of German tutorials are less specific and more targeted at those who want to get a range of different things from learning German. Even though all novice students will cover survival German: enough German to make a visit to the country or make good contacts with the locals, but what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefitted from these courses have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in German culture, and those who just want to pass a specific examination in German.
These courses in German are meant for those that feel that learning German would make a change in their work. For starters, it is expedient to learn how to say hello/goodbye, as well as basic business protocol; once the basics have been mastered, reading and writing come to the fore. Students who have greatly benefitted have been involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where another language is required, and those working in the international academia and government circuits. Even on our most fundamental beginner's course, students can anticipate ending the course with basic telephone German and e-mail German skills for communicating, as well as survival German if a short visit to the country is needed.
If there are 2 or more of you with the same level of German, the same targets within the language, and be able to study at the same time and location, then you'll be happy to know that these German courses can also be made available for Two-to-One German Courses or Small Group In-Company German Courses. Listen & Learn do not generally recommend classes of more than 6-8 people, although Taster courses in German can run with up to 12 people. Bookings must be made for all participants at the same time.
Words can be combined (or 'compounded') in German to form compound words, which can be very long
The main German-speaking nations are Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Luxembourg; but the language is also spoken in parts of Denmark, Russia, Hungary and Kazakhstan
An extremely popular worldwide language, German has many ties with both English and Dutch
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"
Lincoln
There are over 200,000 people living in Lincoln, Nebraska many of whom are teaching or studying at the town's world famous state university. How serious is Lincoln, Nebraska about its football? When the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers play on Saturday, the city becomes one of the most populous in the Midwest. But there's a lot more to Lincoln that just football. The university there is without peer among its contemporaries, which makes for a surprisingly large international community smack dab in the middle of the American heartland. With so many students coming from around the world to study abroad in Lincoln, there is a surprisingly high value to learning a foreign language there. Students arrive in Lincoln from the Pacific Rim, Europe and Africa bringing their language and unique culture with them. In order to communicate more effectively with all these interesting individuals, one should consider learning a foreign language. Who knows, the academic tone of the city may inspire a visit to another country around the world.
