You develop the Business German you need to communicate clearly and confidently at work. The course combines professional communication with vocabulary from business, finance, accounting, marketing, sales and other areas of everyday corporate life.

You learn how to explain business matters clearly, communicate information accurately and talk about figures, KPIs, statistics and business developments. You discuss and summarise reports, express your point of view, structure your arguments and communicate your ideas with greater precision.

A strong focus is placed on how you communicate in different professional situations. How does the language of a business email differ from an update in a meeting? How do you communicate with colleagues, clients and business partners? How can you sound more precise, professional and confident when speaking German?
