Spanish for a posting to Madrid

Requirement:
A research chemist was being posted to Madrid for a three-year assignment with a pharmaceutical company. He knew basic Spanish from school but had not used it since then. He needed to communicate successfully with colleagues as soon as he arrived.

Solution:
marcus evans linguarama provided a flexible solution which ensured he met his target. He began with a 10 day Dual Track programme spread over 3 weeks. This re-activated his knowledge and enabled him to combine work and language learning. Before leaving for Madrid he took a two-week Power Track course which boosted his level considerably and introduced the specialised vocabulary he would need to discuss technical matters with colleagues. It also included a one-day Cultural Awareness Programme.

Since moving, he has continued training with Linguarama Madrid where he is developing fluency and a more sophisticated knowledge of vocabulary, function and grammar.

Result:
He can now communicate successfully with his colleagues and has demonstrated a commitment to the culture in which he is working. This has generated an enthusiastic response from his staff and enabled him to become effective very quickly.
