As one of the most spoken languages in the world, particularly in Europe, German is considered one of the key languages of global business. The main reason behind this popularity is simple: Germany is the largest economy in the continent, with the fourth-largest GDP in the world. So, if you are looking to connect with German businesses locally or abroad, start learning German in Cork and broaden your professional horizons. Clear communication is a crucial element of business success and globalisation has ensured that companies are more connected than ever before, meaning you will find many businesses in Cork that use German as their working language, like McAfee or Advancing People.
Need more motivation to learn the language? Don’t let its seemingly inaccessible, long compound words intimidate you. German and English share the same linguistic branch and almost 50% of their vocabulary. Impressive, right? Furthermore, they share many grammatical items, such as the English irregular verbs, which closely resemble strong German verbs in their inflections. Reach out to us at Listen & Learn and our native-speaking instructors will share tips and tricks for you to understand the nuances of the language and become fluent in a short time.
Of course, to be proficient in German you’ll also need to be able to practise outside the classroom. Luckily, Cork has more than 1,200 residents who speak German as a first or second language, meaning you’ll always find opportunities to put your skills to the test. For example, you can join the Language Exchange Cork Meetup to meet like-minded people while putting your German skills to use. Reach out to us today, and soon you’ll be able to hold a conversation in German using idioms and informal vocabulary!
These German lessons are more general in nature and are targeted at students who have a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival German—required for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local population—students then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, German-culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular German examination.

German lessons of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn German to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette. Reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in the import/export business, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Even our most basic lesson for beginners will have the student finishing the lesson with basic telephone/e-mail skills in German, as well as survival German should a short stay in the country is needed.
