Does this sound familiar?

"Before I started learning German with Natalie, I had limited vocabulary, very little confidence and hesitant to respond. Natalie has been a fantastic mentor in learning to speak and understand everyday life in Germany. I am much more comfortable with my daily life in Düsseldorf, now.“

Business German

Business German language coaching for specialists and managers. - As a business graduate with many years of experience in coaching employees of international corporations and medium-sized companies, I support you with business German for management. From language level A2.

You will learn to use exactly the same professional words and phrases in German in meetings and conversations with customers and employees that you would use in your native language. Be it in direct dialog, on the phone, in e-mails or on Zoom.

This also includes intercultural mentoring. Here I show you what is talked about during business small talk in Germany and what the general “do's” and “don'ts” are in German business life.

If you are in a management position, I provide you with management coaching. Would you like to reorient yourself professionally? We will optimize your application documents and prepare you for job interviews. If your aim is to present convincingly in German, we will work together to develop the content of your charts and prepare you specifically for your presentation.

As you can see, your training will be completely individualized with exactly the topics that are important for your personal success.

I'm really looking forward to finding out what your challenges and goals are that I can help you achieve.

Take the first step towards your confident business German and book your personal meeting with me! Free of charge and without obligation.

With Natalie’s individually tailored intensive course, her expertise and method, that really makes German language easy to learn, I was able to progress fast and speak fluently with my customers and colleagues after four month. Thank you so much!“
