For the benefit of the German economy and for the well-being of the people who live here.
Providing Assurance in Challenging Times
Small and medium-sized enterprises have been the driving force behind the German economy. Few others sectors worldwide harnesses as much crucial expertise as German SMEs.
This leading position is now being challenged, not only from increased competition, but also due to a lack of linguistic and cultural skills that are necessary for developing long-lasting benevolent international business relationships. Without the right measures, many companies will fall behind.
Anyone still translating now needs help.
It's hard to believe that 75% of small and medium-sized enterprises in the country still see their employees' lack of English skills as an obstacle to international success. AI only helps in the short term, because the increase of new writing tools raises linguistic expectations and makes face-to-face meetings and phone calls all the more challenging. High time to get prepared.
Nevertheless, only 42% of companies promote language skills among their employees. And where support is provided, it is often lacking in quality and the measures implemented are not sustainable. Too many companies experience language training as a cost instead of feeling benefit.
The benefit of working, learning and living together.
We invite you to collaborate with us in order to create a sustainable education market, so that we can preserve and pass on the values that make our culture strong and lasting.

Feedback and Customer Reviews
"(...) is a great instructor who takes into consideration her students' needs and their knowledge level. I really like that she dedicates the first 30-45 minutes to talk about the students' daily life and their plans and how their week/day was in German. This has helped me build some natural conversation flows."
"(Our trainer) is very caring. She creates an atmosphere where it is incredibly fun to learn the language. (The course and trainer) have fulfilled my expectations. 100% Recommended!"
"I appreciated the course, especially how my teacher encouraged me to speak more, boosting my confidence. She patiently corrected my mistakes, focusing on areas I struggled with, which made me feel more comfortable expressing myself."
"I will keep repeating it: (...) is the best language teacher I have ever had. I am 45, so I had already a few to compare with. She can engage everyone into speaking. Forcing our brains to work max capacity."
"I have had many language tutors, but (...) truly stands out. His expertise, teaching methods, and knowledge were incredibly helpful-not only for improving my English but also in many other areas. He's an excellent teacher, and I would be delighted to take more classes with him in the future"
"(...) amazing German teacher! I'd like to thank her and hope to have her again as my teacher."
"(...) a very empathetic, attentive and patient teacher. He always manages to assert his expertise in a humorous way. I always enjoy his lessons very much and am very grateful that I was able to learn so much from him. I would like to extend my course with Steven and deepen my knowledge. Thank you so much!"
"I have been to many German classes in Germany. When I joined (...)'s class, I knew I had found the perfect place to learn German. Her pace and mode of teaching were just what I needed. Learning by doing, by practice, touching, seeing, speaking, and smelling helped me retain what she was teaching. (...) was just the best. I wish I could join her class again."
"(...) is an excellent teacher, always willing to explain further and go the extra mile for her students. She has a great energy that makes learning a new language feel easy and fun."

How language and culture connected in companies.
What can you expect from us?
Look forward to professionally guided language courses that are informative, enjoyable, and thought-provoking. Participants will gain many new perspectives on their native language and personal point of view. Prejudices will be overcome.
Let's ensure together that your employees remain mentally alert and feel part of your team. Cultural understanding develops through dialogue in a group.

Why train your specialists and managers?
The future of your products and services does not only depend on the technical innovations of your skilled workers and the right decisions made by your managers, but also on how these are communicated internally and externally.
Nowadays, there are so many alternatives in all products and services that you will need to present more than just the facts to convince your audience. If you really want to inspire your customers and employees, you need language that evokes emotions and showcases new and exciting goals that are worth striving for. Anyone who first has to translate their emotions into a foreign language has a clear disadvantage.
How successful are you at integrating foreign staff?
Let's not kid ourselves: hardly anyone migrates to Germany for the weather. To feel appreciated in their jobs and welcome in our country, your foreign employees need reliable contacts, a good understanding of our language and culture, and real prospects for their future.
Together, we can do a lot more to make this happen. For several years now, we have been helping companies, institutions, and clinics to integrate foreign staff into everyday life in Germany, both linguistically and culturally. Our experience shows that people who feel at home here want to stay and can make a lasting contribution to the German economy. That should be worth the effort to us.

Forging lifelong partnerships
Language is so much more than the words it's made up of. Through its phrases and images, it becomes a means of conveying the cultural experiences and feelings of the people who speak it from an early age. Sometimes, a single sentence and a fleeting glance are enough to build a strong relationship.
The ability of employees to communicate flexibly and culturally appropriately beyond their own cultural sphere offers invaluable financial advantages for modern companies.
In today's world of comparable products and services, authenticity is what sets you apart. After all, whether your colleagues get the contract or not is often decided in a matter of seconds. People buy from people, especially from those who show them: I understand you because I am like you.
Holding our society together.
Language lessons organized in small groups are the ideal venue for examining current topics from every conceivable angle. They offer a safe space to explore new ideas and to refocus. Social media and personalized news feeds more than ever carry the risk of trapping us in one-sided information bubbles, often without us realizing that this is the case.
Regular joint lessons serve to bring participants together, promote a sense of community and shared experience, and thus have a balancing effect on your teams and on our society. Prejudices and fears can be broken down in this way.
It is for this reason that our motto has been the same for many years:
