What we offer

We provide secure and confidential services around the key-elements of successful language communication and cultural competence.

In such cases it is important to know which steps to take successfully bridge these gaps in understanding: either with business partners, employees or customers or with a readership, audience or the general public.

These steps could involve learning a new language, to learn about language use and conventions of behaviour in another cultural context or to have a text translated in such a manner that the author's individual style and intentions remain visible.
