The GERMAN ACADEMY for Business
We teach your employees
German language and business culture
so they can integrate,
be more efficient and become a greater asset to your company
Does this resonate with you?
-
Your employees are highly trained but they don’t know enough German to communicate clearly or understand all the details of what is required from them?
-
They are highly motivated but lack an understanding of German business culture?
-
They are willing to give their best but lack confidence, cannot contribute fully in meetings, or represent your company professionally?
We at SimplyGerman have been teaching German language and business culture to employees in large London-based companies for over 20 years.
Established 1999, we are one of London’s most respected language schools.
