MEET THE GERMANS

Through my years of teaching Business English as a second language, I saw the importance of how language is connected to culture and how misunderstandings could be avoided if communication was more culturally compatible.
It is not just speaking English or applying a one-size-fits-all approach; doing business with another culture and working closely in a global team requires cultural awareness.
Culture influences many aspects of our life, both at work and at home. Tasks we often take for granted, for example our perception of time, how we approach processes, develop trust and deal with hierarchy are all very much culturally based.

This short cultural workshop will focus on Germany and help you to understand German culture, lifestyle and mentality. It is not about where to buy your dirndl or why Germans love their fresh bread, but more about the approach and how culture is interwoven in how Germans think, live and work.
It is ideal for anyone working or studying in Germany or doing business in Germany.
