One-to-one General/Business
German Course in Edinburgh
It doesn't matter if you want to learn German for business or pleasure - our customised language courses will help you get where you want to be.
While a General German course will provide you with enough linguistic ammunition to allow you to survive a short visit to the country (greetings, basic conversation and a solid grammatical foundation). A Business course in German will generally cover basic business etiquette in that language, and at a higher level, reading and writing in German.
Courses are, however, tailor-made - you cover in your lessons what you need to cover. Most students taking a Business German course will gain telephone and email expertise, as well as general conversation skills. Likewise, a General course can include specific elements that are integral to your needs, for example if you need vocabulary specific to buying property overseas.
Typical learners who choose our Business courses are import/export professionals, agents for multi-national companies, and those involved with foreign governments and universities. General courses are not simply for those who need to reach a certain level of German for an exam - they are perfect for those wishing to pack up and move abroad, those marrying a German national, as well as those travelling to the country for any other reason.

City information
Edinburgh is something of a city of extremes. While the population is relatively old for the national average, the constant influx of the transient student population (around 100,000 out of a city of just under half a million people) makes up for the relative lack of resident youth. The city has a plethora of history, yet is one of the fastest-growing regions in Europe.
For most of the year the city is like any other historic Scottish city - mostly peaceful, with friendly residents, beautiful architecture, all overshadowed by a medieval castle. But that all goes to pot during the months from July to September, as the Edinburgh Festival runs its course, attracting many thousands of people to Scotland's capital.
Language information
Learning German as a second language can be extremely useful when travelling through Europe, conducting business with German-speaking industries, as well as for academic purposes. Language Trainers can make your language learning easy and direct: when and where you meet our tutors is up to you, and you can choose precisely what you want to learn so you get the most from your lessons. All academic materials are given to you, and groups can be taught as well as individuals.

Teaching English in Brasília doesn't really require learning Portuguese (everything at the school is done in English), but I like to keep ahead of the game. The Language Trainers classes have given me a good grounding in conversational Portuguese, along with some great advice about living in such a different city. I can't wait to practice my skills once I hit the beaches!
