The Berlitz language centre is inviting language enthusiasts to enrol in its newest offering, the Soft Skills Programmes.
The aim is to unlock the most tried and effective ways to communicate in different settings ... and help put an end to the misery of misunderstandings and misinterpretation.
A spokesman said: "The Soft Skills Programmes features insight into how to communicate best in cultural and business settings and settings where negotiation is the main aim.
"Communicating in a cultural setting also depends on the relationship between the speakers.
"Learning to communicate better in the business setting could help with customer services, improve sales and also to communicate ideas with colleagues and superiors.
"Meanwhile, negotiation is one of the highest barriers that effective communication skills can help alleviate.
"At Berlitz, you can also learn how important body language is in imparting information without saying a word."
It has been said that to speak a second language is to possess a second soul and Berlitz believes the ability to understand and converse in a foreign tongue helps greatly in understanding the cultural depth of a new country.
With the Berlitz method students are taught a new language just as they learned their first - by listening and repeating. Reinventing the learning process, students are taught from the first moment they enter the classroom.
"Utilising this enjoyable conversational approach, students are guaranteed to start speaking their new language right from your very first class," the spokesman added.
In addition to language instruction and cross-cultural training, Berlitz also offers software localisation, document translation, desktop publishing and interpretation services, as well as a wide range of publishing products.
