Language for Business

  • Does your company deal with non-English-speaking countries?
  • Is your company actually based in a non-English-speaking country?
  • Would you yourself like to work in a non-English-speaking country?

If you are interested in using a language in a business context, this programme is for you!

We offer language courses in the main languages likely to be encountered by New Zealand businesses. These include our special options geared to the needs of the business community, and detailed information can be found under:

Our Language for Business programmes are designed for people with a professional interest in learning the language in question. For a number of years, Euroasia has been specialising in language teaching and in cross-cultural consulting. Now we have combined both areas of expertise and created a series of business-related language courses.

Even at beginner level, you can benefit from taking a course related to the world of business. How does it work?

Together with a language course focusing on general vocabulary, expressions and grammar, you have two 90-minute sessions devoted entirely to business language and cultural expectations – and geared to your particular level. These sessions are conducted by native-speaker teachers with experience in the business world.

Our courses can also be delivered as private classes, on a one-to-one or two-to-one basis: we offer flexible schedules, and material geared entirely to specific needs.

In addition, we can provide in-house language training to a group of staff. 

Learning Outcomes


At the end of your first Language for Business course you can expect to have:

  • An ability to handle everyday situations in your chosen language
  • The skills to exchange a variety of social pleasantries
  • A feel for the way the language works
  • Greater knowledge of the country or countries and the culture
  • An insight into the culture-specific ways of thinking and doing things
  • An enhanced understanding of norms and expectations in the relevant business context
  • A good background for further study in the area of business language

No one pretends that, after one course in Language for Business, you will be able to conduct business in your chosen language: this course is an introduction. Of course, the further you take your study, the greater your understanding will be. At higher levels, you will learn more and more vocabulary related to business language. And we expect that some people will reach a stage where they can conduct business in their new language!
