Experiencing different cultures, may cause uncertainty and frustration at first. To live a fulfilling life in a foreign society, you need to build and maintain trust in the community. Certain societal rules and norms need to be considered which are often unclear and confusing. Our intercultural workshops address these cultural differences, promote self-awareness and provide you with essential skills to ensure a successful work and social life in Germany.

Before leaving the country or to take up work in Germany it is advisable to have a basic knowledge of the German language and in some cases, it is even mandatory. The exact level depends on the profession and requirements of the new German employer, or whether you are moving to your family or spouse in Germany.We offer tutoring, exercises on learning and exam strategies as well as speech training in the form of workshops, group or individual appointments.
