Our native-speaking qualified Spanish 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.
Spanish lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Spanish - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Spanish usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Spanish 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 Spanish culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Spanish.
These lessons in Spanish are meant for those that feel that learning Spanish 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 Spanish and e-mail Spanish skills for communicating, as well as survival Spanish if a short visit to the country is needed.
The Spanish lessons are also available for 2 or more people studying together (Two-to-One Spanish Lesson or Small Group In-Company Spanish Lesson). 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 Spanish Lessons can be run with up to 12 people.

Spanish Testimonials

Cincinnati
Despite being the home of the Cincinnati Reds and considered to be one of the first purely American cities due to a boomtown legacy of rapid expansion, Cincinnati isn't all about baseball and Americana. Discover for yourself exactly why the unique cultural heritage of Europe-meets-America in Ohio's third largest city is the perfect place for learning a language. In a tribute to Cincinnati's largest ancestral group, the city hosts the largest Oktoberfest in the United States. This event is the most obvious evidence of Cincinnati's German heritage and gives language learners a great chance to practice their German in a welcoming environment! Festivals abound, Cincinnati also holds one of the nation's largest street festivals and longest running culinary arts festival, 'Taste of Cincinnati.' But for international influence on foreign tongues, that's just a mere morsel about Cincinnati!
