Did you know?

Knowledge of foreign languages helps us to meet new friends, find partners, establish useful business contacts, increase job and promotion opportunities.

Going on a business trip to a country where you are able to speak a foreign language may also help you to make sales, negotiate and secure contracts as you might be better placed to demonstrate your interest and commitment.

How many of us when we travel overseas would love to be able to communicate to the native population, to confidently walk into a store, supermarket, restaurant or bar and not worry about what we are buying or eating?

The great thing about languages is that you do not have to be a fluent speaker to be welcomed and appreciated by the local population.  Even a reasonable number of phrases and words will brighten your experience and perhaps give you opportunities you never dreamt would ever happen.

On a personal level there will always be an unbreakable connection between you and the culture and history of the people you encounter.
