The perfect starting point. In just 12 weeks, professionals and business people will easily grasp the essentials of a new country’s language and culture.
Even a rudimentary knowledge of another’s language and customs sends a strong message of respect and courtesy. People recognize your effort. That builds trust, reduces “foreignness” and establishes the basis for an ongoing relationship.
With our help, those important first connections with people in other countries will be both appropriate and positive. You will be able to greet people, introduce yourself and even invite someone to a social function.
You can relax, knowing that at work and socially, you understand the language niceties, essential manners and customs of the country where you do business.

Yes! Language learning can be fun! An interactive small-group forum can help you practise and improve your language skills with others at the same level who have the same goal.
At Bootcamp, groups of four-to-six participants meet for conversations and different activities to learn and practice general and business vocabulary. From New Beginner to Advanced, you’ll be with others whose language ability is similar, so you can encourage each other, chart your progress and have fun learning together.
In one-hour sessions, you’ll learn to improve your language skills with colleagues and/or clients. Discussions, role-plays, mini-improvisations, presentations, and a theme day (work, current affairs, social interactions, telephone skills, travel, and others) will keep your interest high, your spirits light, and the vocabulary relevant.

The next step. Business Immersion introduces an element of sophistication in the use of English. If you’re ready and need more complex language training or to practise multi-tasking in the new language, this intensive program is for you.
Included is:
To begin, we’ll assess your linguistic goals and your current level of knowledge and language confidence. A series of questions, both written and oral, measure your grammar and comprehension.
Afterwards, our teaching team will determine how to customize your core program to produce the results you want. The program’s emphasis can be adjusted to strengthen your skills in presenting, negotiating, telephoning, video-conference coaching, reading (and understanding) business materials, chairing a meeting or socializing.
Your progress will be evaluated weekly and instructors will adapt the program accordingly.
In private or group format.

“Being better able to speak and read Spanish is a great benefit for me, especially when it comes to socializing and communicating with business associates and strengthening our relationships. Latin Americans are very warm and social. Making the decision to start to improve my Spanish speaking and reading abilities has definitely been beneficial in building global business relationships.”
“I wish to thank the whole team for your support over the years. You have a knack for making complex concepts easy to understand. I wish to give special thanks to Joe for all the interesting discussions, the updates on the news (he is more informed than I will ever be). The classes were interesting and enjoyable, giving me the desire to learn which in turn helped me to have more confidence in myself. You have marked my journey in a way that I will never forget, you were a true mentor.”
