Foreign languages are becoming increasingly important in the world of work. Within certain specialist areas, a sound knowledge of English or French is now a prerequisite: Internationally active companies that maintain contacts in the USA or France depend on their staff having a command of the relevant language. A company that can participate globally is more competitive than one that limits itself to a small regional market. International contacts can open new doors and foster partnerships or agreements between countries and companies. If a company can rely on the language skills of its team here, then exciting deals can potentially come about.

However, employees' language skills are not only an advantage in individual business situations, they also represent a company's competence and willingness to engage in intercultural cooperation. Employees who are familiar with a particular language have probably also studied the culture, traditions and customs of the country in question. They can behave competently and confidently in negotiations with any contractual partners and know what to look out for in communication. Employees who speak a language and know the appropriate manners have a sympathetic effect on their counterparts and earn respect and recognition. This in turn represents the company and can have a positive effect on entire business relationships.

For many companies, it is therefore becoming increasingly interesting to provide their employees with further language training. The field of activity and the market are the main factors that determine which languages are relevant for a company. In Europe, English and French continue to play a central role, as many companies operate via France, Belgium, England or the USA. But Spanish, Russian and Chinese are also on the rise, as they are spoken in countries where markets are growing rapidly and there is enormous potential for development.

In a company language course, employees are trained on the job, so to speak. For companies, such courses offer various advantages, for example that they can influence the course content and the specific teaching topics, or that they can form department-specific groups that they can train together on site. On-site company language courses are also particularly efficient, as you save your employees the trip to a language school or institute.
