Living The Language One of the most effective ways to learn a language is to take a course in the country where it is spoken. You are surrounded by the language throughout your stay which means that you are subconsciously absorbing and developing in the new language all the time.
In addition to the formal lessons you will also be learning at lunch times and in the evenings through informal discussion with colleagues, your host family and the other people you meet. You will be making immediate practical use of the language you have learned. By staying with a host family, where available, you have the opportunity to be involved in the cultural life of the country at first hand, to take part in the daily routine of your hosts and to experience how the language and culture interact and intermingle. Prices quoted for host families include half-board accommodation.

marcus evans Linguarama Programmes Business Track
Power Track
Linguarama Business Track programmes are individually designed to meet your linguistic and professional needs and to maximize your potential to learn both inside and outside the classroom. Each programme is based on specific objectives which are defined by a needs analysis and assessment test carried out before the course.
This is the most intensive programme and includes a working lunch with the trainer. It offers constant exposure to the target language throughout the day and ensures maximum progress in the shortest time. A typical day would run from 09.30 - 17.30*.
The programme starts with an individual Pre-Course Task to help you focus on key language elements. All the programmes develop a wide range of language skills and a variety of learning strategies. A typical course may include development and consolidation of structures, business skills, expansion of professional vocabulary, Integrated Personal Study, training in effective communication, Learning to Learn and the development of a Personal Learning Plan for continued study. The precise combination will naturally vary according to the needs and objectives of the individual, the language level and the timetable of each course.
Fast Track Fast Track provides a full day intensive programme which still leaves room for review and self study. Possible course times are from 09.15 - 12.15 and 13.00 - 16.00* including a 45 minute break.
Dual Track This is a half-day individual programme and is for those who favour a more gradual approach or for clients who wish to follow a Business Track programme whilst still continuing to work for half the day. Possible course times are e.g. 08.30 - 12.30, 13.30 - 17.30 or 15.30 - 19.30*.
*Exact times vary in different centres.

Cultural Competence Settling in a new country, working with people from a different culture or working in an international team can present problems which are cultural as well as linguistic. To solve these problems marcus evans Linguarama has developed Cultural Competence Training programmes to help individuals, teams or families to adapt to a new situation. Training can be planned to link in with and complement the language training. Please ask for our Cultural Competence Training brochure.
Accommodation marcus evans linguarama can organise accommodation for you during your stay. All centres offer hotels at good rates. Many centres offer accommodation with host families. This provides the opportunity to be involved in the life and culture of the country, to have maximum exposure to the language and to see how the language and culture interact.

Dutch in The Netherlands Recently our Dutch department has found itself increasingly involved in course programmes for those who have been living in the Netherlands for some time, but who feel restrained by a limited ability to speak or write the language. The call for business skills courses has risen sharply and we regularly cover areas including presentations, negotiations and effective report writing. Holland is the preferred location for the headquarters of many multi-national companies. It is not surprising that many people choose to learn Dutch during or in preparation for their time in Holland. marcus evans linguarama Nederland has three centres: Amsterdam in the heart of one of Europe’s most fascinating cities with a varied and endless cultural life both day and night The Hague the seat of government,The Hague is an imposing and inspiring city Soesterberg the Linguarama residential centre in the heart of the Netherlands
