The supervisor explains the same job three times – how do we stop these misunderstandings?
In live role plays with up to 6 learners, we practise real work instructions, questions and explaining the task back in their own words.
Why this problem affects the company
The supervisor repeatedly stops other work to clarify the same task.
When professional skills are in place but German is missing at critical moments, HR needs more than a generic vocabulary course. The starting point is what the employee must understand, say and document during a real workday.
How our live intensive German course addresses it
Listening for instructions, identifying key words and reporting back.
Groups of up to six practise speaking and listening with immediate correction. The focus extends beyond individual technical terms to complete questions, answers and handovers.
Your live German coach gives direct feedback. We emphasise listening, independent responses and realistic workplace discussions.
What your employee practises
- Listening: identify essential information in a normal workplace situation.
- Speaking: ask relevant questions and explain a task in your own words.
- Role play: handle a difficult conversation without reading a script.
- Transfer: repeat a comparable task and document the difference.
From workplace problem to a measurable next step

Course length and realistic timetable
Example progress review plan
These are possible review points; we agree the actual interval during the first consultation.
| Review point | Practical review |
|---|---|
| Before the course | Placement check and a short practical task to document the starting point. |
| Agreed intermediate check | Repeat a similar task with new content and compare listening, speaking and questions. |
| End of the agreed programme | Review the communication goal and plan another course stage if needed. |
These figures describe the teaching programme, not a promise that participants will reach a particular level or pass an external examination. Holidays and exam dates can extend the schedule.
How to track language progress
The worker can accurately restate a simulated job after one hearing.
- Check the person’s starting level and the language required for the role.
- Practise typical discussions and listening situations during live lessons.
- Speak repeatedly in a group of up to six learners and receive immediate feedback.
- Retest a comparable real-life task to assess progress, without promising an automatic result.
Language training does not replace professional recognition procedures, required workplace safety training or external examinations.
