An intensive crash course can be very effective, especially when a professional’s schedule is full. In that case, it can be worth it to clear your agenda for a week and give your full attention to language and culture training. Pushing yourself to the limit often has good educational effects. Our clients’ stories about their intensive training also bear this out. \r\r But the crash course is certainly no magic bullet. Without good communication embedding of the training before and after the program, there is less retention of what has been learned. For example, if clients switch completely to English immediately upon returning to work and stay there, the effect of the intensity is lost. The most successful clients are therefore those who also set themselves language and communication goals before and after the training. Naturally, we coach them in this process and look beyond the boundaries of the training program. \r
