Language and culture
for teams between China and Germany
Business German, Chinese and English, always combined with culture training, in both directions: for Chinese teams in Germany and for German teams doing business with China.
For companies
Language alone is not enough at work. Misunderstandings rarely come from grammar; they come from hierarchy, directness and unspoken expectations. So every language training is combined with intercultural communication and real situations: meetings, negotiations, business dinners, feedback.

- Meetings, emails and phone calls in German
- Presenting and negotiating
- German work culture: schedules, direct communication, feedback
- A1 to C1, exam preparation on request
Business English
- Shared working language for mixed teams
- Meetings, calls and emails
- Coordination between German, Chinese and international sites
Intercultural training
- Hierarchy, decisions and building relationships
- Understanding direct and indirect communication
- Negotiation and conflict
- Preparation for postings or business trips
