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 lessons 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 lessons 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 lesson, students can anticipate ending the lesson 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 lessons can also be made available for Two-to-One German Lessons or Small Group In-Company German Lessons. Listen & Learn do not generally recommend classes of more than 6-8 people, although Taster lessons in German can run with up to 12 people. Bookings must be made for all participants at the same time.

Quebec
Quebec City is the second largest city in the Canadian Province of Quebec after Montreal. The name of this town of 500,000 people is derived from the Indian word 'Kebec' meaning 'where the river narrows.' This is a fitting description, as the city rests magnificently on the shores of the Quebec River. Many of the most important historical sites in the area can be found in Quebec City, and millions of people come every year to visit the old churches and gorgeous waterfalls in the area. These visitors have made tourism one of the top industries in Quebec in recent years. The business climate in Quebec is active, with a number of Fortune 1000 companies maintaining headquarters or branch offices in the downtown area. The primary language spoken here is French, with an overwhelming 95% of the residents listing it as their native tongue. English, Chinese, Arabic and other languages are also spoken throughout Quebec. And like any major city, those who take the time to learn a new language are given more opportunities to succeed in business and communicate with all the residents who live there.
