Lingualearn German language courses in London

Lingualearn is able to offer in-company German language courses in London. We have a very large network of language trainers on our books at present, all qualified and experienced native-speaker trainers. 

All our courses are tailor-made to suit the needs of small groups or individuals.  We would suggest starting with a needs analysis for each person who is interested.  This would consist of a German language assessment (email test in the target language, checked by telephone when necessary), questionnaire and interview to evaluate the needs, wants, strengths and weaknesses of each potential trainee.  Following this needs analysis we would design a training plan for each person concerned.  The training plan could contain elements of:

1. a self-study package using tapes, CD ROMs, websites, books, videos ... [see our materials section]
2. in-company language training in a small group or 1:1
3. a distance course using telephone, email and web-based materials [see our distance courses section]
4. personal tuition at the tutor's home, in a restaurant, or other suitable location [see our tutors section]

One of the main features of our courses is the exceptionally high quality.  We only use the best German language trainers and learning materials available.  We also offer in-company training at almost any time of the day, seven days a week: lunchtime lessons, early morning sessions, evening classes, German-language weekend seminars ... all within the London area.

The needs of German language learners vary considerably from person to person, and from company to company.  There is no one ideal method nor approach to language training.  Some trainees require a more structured, traditional approach, while others prefer a more communicative methodology.  We try to take into account the learning preferences of each individual, giving them just the right amount of challenge and encouragement.

In-company German language courses are for a minimum of 20 hours; we recommend at least two hours per week.  Courses vary in price according to their length, location, number of delegates and complexity, but a ball-park figure for a 20 hour course would be £1,400 [approx' $2,600 US, EUR 2100, $3,000 CAN] with a qualified native-speaker trainer.  This price would include a high quality German course for up to 6 employees, but exclude needs analysis, materials and VAT.  The cost of training is slightly lower for longer courses (e.g. for 40 hours+) and individuals, but slightly higher in large cities (e.g. central London) and for larger groups of German language learners.

  "There is a nice atmosphere in the class; the delegates are interested and are really working with me. It seems that they are enjoying themselves although it is a hard language. They respond well to the verb and sentence drills."
  
  
  German Beginner Level Course in London
  "The students did some excellent pair work today and it was a joy to teach them today! They are getting on nicely with the verb conjugations and pronouns; it seems they are really trying to understand. Some of their inputs, especially the ones today regarding the difference between the accusative and dative pronouns, are excellent. I am very pleased with how the lesson went today."
  
  German Intermediate Level Course in London
  "In general, the class went well. One could say that today’s lesson turned out quite productive since we had the opportunity not only to look at more situations of word-order reversal but also to start working with the structure of correspondence: in particular we saw a couple of samples of a complaint letter and one of an application/request. All students present commented at the end of the session that this class had been really useful for them."

COST of German language courses in London

When trying to assess a language training provider, many companies will focus on the cost of a German language course in London as it is easy to make numerical comparisons and relatively difficult to assess the quality of services.
How many companies realise that their main investment during corporate training is the time spent by their employees? The cost of this time usually far exceeds the cost of the training provider. It is important that this large investment is not wasted, by selecting a training provider that will make maximum use of your valuable time.
Lingualearn can motivate your employees to learn, encourage their efforts and inspire them to really achieve their maximum potential in a foreign language. For a cost similar to many other corporate training providers of German language courses in London, Lingualearn offers so much more - see list of key benefits on this page or contact us now for a quick response with answers to your questions.
