Schlager German language method

Continually developing during 30 years

Not like the old days

Many Dutch have negative, if not painful associations with learning in German courses, often related to an uninspiring teacher and tedious grammar lessons. Today, a different approach is available. During the last 30 years, Elisabeth Schlager developed her own method of teaching. Learning German can be fun and rewarding. Experience it!

Success in business through personal trust…

… this is Elisabeth’s motto when she helps clients prepare to cooperate with German speakers. Schlager Training and Coaching offers more than just a German language course. The training allows the clients to personally experience how their style of speaking and interacting comes across in a German-speaking environment and culture.

Trainings integrated … and supplementary (optional)

During the past 20 years Elisabeth Schlager integrates intercultural Skills and business Consulting into her German language courses (see also Training Business Consulting and Training Intercultural Skills). In addition she offers an optional ‘Intercultural Skills’ training in cooperation with the University of Jena. Optional since the last 5 years is executive and management Coaching (see Training Executive and management Coaching).
