Britons who know a foreign language:
- are more fulfilled
- are seen as more intelligent
- earn up to 20% more
- are seen as more sexually desirable!
The Guardian.
We at The Language Company believe learning a language is the key to successful business communications. If your response is "all our customers speak English", ask yourself this; who supplies to the customers that DON'T speak English?
In addition to the valid points made in the Guardian, we would like to draw your attention to the following!
1. 70% of the EU cannot read English and 75% of the world's population doesn't speak any English at all
2. 89% of web-users search the web primarily in their first language
3. German and Spanish importers are four times more likely to buy if products are sold and marketed in their own language
4. 9 out of 10 executive recruiters believe that the ability to speak another language is "critical to success" in Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America
5. A little language goes a long way!
At the Language Company we not only focus on language training but also on the importance of business culture.
Know your C's;
- Cultural knowledge
- Cultural behaviour
- Cultural values and attitudes
- Cultural sensitivity
- Cultural adaptation
Cultures and languages evolve constantly - don't be left behind by the rest of Europe - JOIN THEM!
