"... Both from the standpoint of attempting
to better understand the company and function within it, and as
a matter of courtesy to our... colleagues, it is desirable to
speak the company's 'native language'."

| "... Surely there is a need for key
personnel to understand German ... connected to their job responsibilities.
It would seem [this] approach and an in-house program address the
needs best." |

| "... content precisely what I needed." |
| *
* * |
| "... helped me make a quantum leap
..." |

| "... tailored to relate directly to
my job ... this included lessons in technical and legal vocabulary
as well as the customs and form for doing business." |
| *
* * |
| "... skills ... contribute greatly
to my ability to do my work efficiently and more thoroughly." |
| *

| " ... two of the best teachers I have
ever had. I learned more in the first few months than in two years
at night." |
| *

| "... one of the chief and most lasting
company benefits that I have been privileged to enjoy. In my daily
work it has been of inestimable value, enabling me to converse intelligently
with ... personnel in Frankfurt as well as to deal quickly and knowledgeably
with every possible kind of German correspondence that passes through
this office ... my effectiveness in my position would be significantly
diminished without this facility." |

| "The course is well-taught and is an
excellent opportunity to gain insight into German culture and thinking." |
| *
* * |
| "... one of the best 'natural' teachers
I have encountered." |
| *
* * |
| "... of enormous benefit to me in my
work on almost a daily basis. At the beginning of the program I
had no experience with the language; now I can and do read many
patent applications, letters, research reports and contracts which
are sent to us in German and which I must use in my work. On a recent
trip to Frankfurt virtually all meetings and negotiations were conducted
in German ... The use of German was very well appreciated by our
colleagues. This would not have been possible without the existing
program." |

| "Your program was particularly beneficial
to me when visiting ... on business or when meeting visitors from
the parent company. Being prepared not only with language skills,
but with awareness of ... culture and customs, through your program,
made doing business a lot easier." |
| *

| "As one who did not attempt to learn
a second language until in my mid-forties, I have always appreciated
how the environment you created in your program made a difficult
task considerably easier." |
