Course description

This course empowers you to master your professional workday in your business job with German-speaking business contacts or in a German-speaking context – no matter your industry. The course helps you meet business-related professional situations on equal footing and communicate purposefully with business partners using German jargon.

We offer an industry overview, job interview training, and regular roleplay activities (using case studies: summarizing business reports and participating in negotiations), as well as access to the exclusive LcL Phonetics Program in the modern LcL Language Lab.

Overcome challenges related to initiating contact and dealing with foundational 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, unemployment, as well as tips and tricks for successful job interviews. Work on resumes, applications, and text types used routinely in professional life.

Understand the basics of Employment Law, such as legal forms of work and workplace rights and responsibilities. Practice new vocabulary, grammar, and expressions useful for business communication in spoken and written form.

The intensive German business course is excellent for newcomers to Austria or other learners who need business and negotiation English to prepare for work, studies, or job search. You can also use the contents of this course to carry out economic activities and jobs where Business German is vital and necessary.

Dear Gabrielle,

Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent German Holiday Language Course (1:1-classes) experience with us.

We're delighted to hear that you found our location convenient and our secretary welcoming. However, we are sincerely sorry to learn that the teaching aspect of your course did not meet your expectations.

We want to assure you that we take customer feedback seriously, and we always endeavor to provide the best possible learning experience for our students. That’s why we proactively also reached out to you after your first two sessions to ensure everything was meeting your needs. At that time, you indicated that everything was perfect.

Our instructors are dedicated to tailoring their lessons to each student's preferences and goals. They are more than willing to adjust their approach to align with your learning objectives, as evidenced by their preparation based on your interests in Vienna's history, opera, and music.

While we regret that your experience fell short of your expectations, we genuinely appreciate your feedback. It helps us identify areas for improvement and ensure that future students have a more satisfactory experience.

Once again, thank you for choosing the LcL Language Institute. We value your input and hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.

"Great people and professional approach"

Lukasz Bogajewski

It was very intensive course, thanks to which i learned a lot. Teacher was very patient and helpful. It was crazy for me to get to know people from all over the world and work with them. You can see the school is new, you can feel the breath of freshness. Class to practice pronunciation is a super experience. I'm thinking about starting the next course, this time a level up.

"I had a good experience and improved my language skills during my time there."

Gisela Deneke

The location is practical and accessible. The facilities are new and some are still being renovated/improved. Some equipment such as headphones and microphones were not fully set up and were used on the last day of class. The instructor was really good, spoke clearly and explained things well. The setup of the classes was good. Ideally, it would be great to switch up class activities and make them a bit more dynamic so that it’s not as repetitive over time (such as creating dialogues or conversations). The staff is friendly and helpful, and I appreciated that they provided us with water for every class. Overall I had a very good experience. While there are things still being set up or renovated, I think this institute already has great potential for being a good resource for language learning.
