Personalised Immersion Programme
Total immersion in the language and culture of a country is the most successful approach to learning a language.
Our intensive English language and culture courses are designed to immerse you in the language, from both a business and social perspective.
They offer the fastest means of improving your skills, developing an appreciation of the subtleties and nuances of the language and increasing your cultural understanding – all with a great deal of enjoyment!
We find that the clients who benefit most from these courses are already using English for business, but recognise the need to take their skills to the next level.
We will help you to:
- improve your pronunciation
- speak more accurately and fluently
- improve your listening skills
- prepare for meetings and presentations
- write more professional emails and reports
- communicate your message with greater impact
- improve your professional approach and communication style
- perfect the art of “small talk”
- discuss topical issues and areas of interest
- interact more confidently in a social setting
- forge deeper relationships through cultural understanding
Understanding idioms and how to use them is crucial to effective communication.
As Britain departed the EU after nearly half a century, the Croatian Ambassador to the EU’s final words to her British counterpart were “Thank you, goodbye, and good riddance!”
Fortunately, the British saw the funny side and understood that her intention was to bid them good luck!
Our week long intensive courses are highly practical and based on living life in the UK environment.
They combine language and communication skills training with cultural outings.
Each course is delivered on an individual basis and is highly personalised. We identify the areas on which you need to work and agree the programme with you before you arrive in the UK.

The first is based on total immersion in UK language and culture; the second enables you to blend your experience of UK language and culture with continuing to do business while in the UK.
