Course description
Business Communication
In the compact German course for persons working in business, you receive an overview of advanced German business language for your workday in the financial sector. Find out how to use professional language to communicate with your German-speaking business partners from different industries or in German-speaking trade contexts. That way, you’ll be prepared for writing or speaking in the commerce-oriented professional world and be able to lead appropriate and goal-oriented business conversations in German.
We offer an industry overview, roleplays (case studies: summarizing business reports and participating in negotiations), and the exclusive LcL Phonetics Program in the modern LcL Language Lab.
Acquire valuable German skills for initiating contact and basic office communication, including company correspondence, teamwork, and conflict resolution. Learn to deal professionally with other companies, products, and contractors, as well as images, advertisements, social media, and conventions. Discuss payment, technical competencies, workplace safety and unemployment. Work on resumes, applications, and text types used routinely in professional life.
The course also goes into the basics of Employment Law, rounding out your understanding with information on legal forms of work. Refine and increase your knowledge of vocabulary, grammatical structures, expressions, and stylistic devices in receptive and productive forms for business communication.
