Business German for Professionals

As a qualified graduate in Linguistics from LMU Munich with over 14 years of experience teaching business professionals, I know exactly what it takes to get you communicating effectively in German at work — whether that’s leading a meeting, writing a report, negotiating a contract, or simply networking at a conference.
What Makes This Course Different?
Most German courses teach you “the girl eats an apple” — you need to know how to say “the EBITDA margin increased by 15% quarter-over-quarter.” My Business German course is built around real workplace scenarios:
- Meetings & Presentations — Lead discussions, present results, handle Q&A sessions
- Email & Correspondence — Write professional emails that strike the right tone
- Negotiations — Argue persuasively, make concessions, and close deals in German
- Industry-Specific Vocabulary — Tailored to your field (engineering, finance, IT, healthcare, legal)
- Cultural Competence — Understand German business culture, hierarchy, and communication style
