Fast, practical and flexible, the French for Business course develops your communicative skills in the business world. We include topics such as Sales, Marketing, Meetings, Interviews, Human Resources, Negotiation and Corporate Communication.

German

German why? Not only because it is the language of philosophy or the language of Goethe, Schiller, Kafka, in addition to Freud and Einstein. But because the Algarve receives more and more German tourists in its hotels, beaches, bars ...

For enabling us to study and research in Germany or simply to surf the internet. German speakers have an open window to one of the great European cultures and to greater opportunities in the job market.

Dutch

You don't need to speak Dutch to study in the Netherlands, but learning a few words can make your stay in the country even more profitable!

Yes, in Holland the classes are entirely in English. Yes, over 80% of Dutch people speak English fluently and without an accent. No, you don't have to speak Dutch to do tourism, study and live in the Netherlands. But how about learning the basics of the language to make your experience in the Netherlands more complete? Knowing a little of the language allows a greater contact with the culture of the country, makes small day-to-day activities easier and more fun, besides expanding your possibilities of internship and work.

Mandarin

Have you ever thought about learning Mandarin Chinese? Mandarin has become the most widely spoken language in the world with over a billion speakers.

Mandarin has become an indispensable language in the international labor market, because China is one of the largest economic and industrial powers in the world.

We are a family owned and operated business.

According to entrepreneurs and recruitment agencies, knowing Mandarin can enhance the curriculum and increase earnings. An engineer can earn twice as much just by knowing Chinese.

SPANISH

After Mandarin, Spanish is the most widely spoken mother tongue in the world with around 329 million people. As a Romance language, it is relatively accessible to Portuguese who easily reach advanced levels.

We are a family owned and operated business.

The ISTA Spanish course is the gateway to learn about the language and culture of our neighboring country.
