1 to 1 coaching and in groups
Putting a sharp edge on your English has been our speciality for over 25 years. Using needs-determined specialist vocabulary with a skills-building approach, we prepare you to interact with your business contacts.
Having both an academic and a business background, those working at TheEnglishWord are better equipped to transfer knowledge linguistically.
A high proportion of our clients have underlined how learning English with us has at the same time been a skills-acquisition experience. They have also repeatedly commented on our ability to role change and hence deliver practice-related training.
Workshops, Coaching, Sparring and Text
Customized according to existing experience and needs, our workshops also prepare the presenter or team for the differing cultural expectations of other nationalities. As many presentations are for international teams, this service is offered in German or English.

Coaching, Workshops, Consultation, Audit
Ever wonder why you get an unexpected email or call from a foreign national after a negotiation or presentation you thought went well? You may believe the lack of success had to do with one or more individuals who participated.
The real reason is that business is conducted in different, sometimes very different ways to what you are familiar with. Few individuals know what different codes of conduct those from other countries use when interacting with people outside their own culture.
Intercultural knowledge is the key to better cross-border relationships.
Our workshops are custom-made and prepare individuals or groups to effectively interact with people in one or more of Europe’s states, the North and South American countries as well as with people from other Anglo-Saxon and Asian societies.
This service is available in German or the language most international business is conducted – in English. If you are already familiar with working internationally but unsure how to deliver in a specific land, consult us and we’ll provide you with an indispensable toolkit to make sure you’ll perform better.
Auditing staff for deployments and secondments abroad is a further speciality offered by TheEnglishWord.

⇒ translate or bolster up any written documents you need to submit
⇒ repeatedly interview you using different stratagems
