Sprechen Sie Deutsch?
Studying a foreign language will prepare you to become a competitive job candidate in the new millennium. German, in particular, can be your edge to your career advancement.
German also is a key business language in the European Union and in the rapidly growing markets of Central and Eastern Europe. Let’s face it! The world has gotten smaller. Germany has the largest economy in the European Union (EU), is one of the major players on the global business stage today, and the fifth largest trading partner of the United States.
More than 750 major U.S companies are doing business in Germany and over 1100 German companies do business in the U.S., and their presence continues to grow. German technology is sought after more than ever and many of those major German companies have set up shop right here in the Greater Houston Metropolitan Area.
So, why should you learn German?
It is a pressing question for anyone interested in working in Germany or for a German company here in the United States. For those in business or service fields, learning German is a real asset and a ticket for professional advancement.
Why do you need to know German?
Even if it is not required, will knowing German help you to get around and get ahead? Young, progressive Germany’s answer is a resounding “Yes.” While English may be the “language of commerce,” having German skills, understanding cultural, social, and business cultural differences is more than ever a crucial factor in successful business dealings there and here.
About the Language:
Ask about German “Gemütlichkeit”; learn about a German’s need for “Ordnung” and “Pünktlichkeit”; find out about the German public and private ways; understand how a German celebrates his holidays and how he conducts business.
Did you know?
Did you know that English has borrowed many words from German?

I really enjoyed the group Spanish lessons. It was a great way to learn a new language and interact with other people. It gave us the opportunity to learn as we helped each other out as well!
The book was easy to follow and good for individuals or groups. The instructor was great and made the class fun! I looked forward to my classes each week! It is a very professional organization and I highly recommend the (Corporate) group lessons!
