I thoroughly enjoy working with (my trainer) and am finding that I am making progress with German much more effectively than when I have had lessons in the past … (I appreciate) working at a pace I'm comfortable with; the ability to go back over old ground and ask questions; (and) the variety, interest and practical value of what I'm learning. I also really enjoy the lessons.

English language learner, large UK-based manufacturer

As always we find the service excellent … and all of our requests are dealt with in a prompt and effective manner.

Learning and Development Manager, leading global financial services company

The Language Clubs have worked really well and bought some unexpected results beyond staff learning the basics of French and Spanish. One or two of them have started to use their new-found skills at work which gives a really positive message to our international colleagues. They have proved to be a social forum as well, bringing staff together who don’t normally work with each other in an enjoyable and supportive environment. Other staff have supported the learners which helped to maintain the momentum between sessions. The trainers and office staff at LSD are all really helpful and responsive so organising the clubs has become very light touch. It’s great to have set something up which has kindled enthusiasm for learning – I highly recommend it!

Jill Hasler, Learning & Development Manager, Brooke – animal welfare charity

Improving (my) reading comprehension has helped me to read internal company emails written in German. Awareness of current affairs in Germany has helped me relate better to German colleagues.

German learner and senior executive, Munich Re, leading global insurance form

(My trainer) is highly professional and reliable and being a native speaker is extremely competent in the technicalities of the language … The oral side (of lessons) … helps with the practicalities of using my language skills on a day to day basis.

(My trainer) has exceeded all my expectations, she completely understands my learning needs and styles and has tailored the learning format perfectly for me … I appreciate how she pushes me to be better but manages my expectations when I am disappointed with my performance.

German language learner, major automotive company

(My teacher) was great! He's easy to work with, encouraging, and patient. He was always available to answer any questions I had and he taught me a lot in such a short period of time, including grammar, spoken and written conversation and vocabulary. He made me love English language. Certainly, knows the language and culture very well. I recommend him to everybody looking study or improve their English.
