TECLA Languages is a school based in Convent Garden in Central
London, we specialize in teaching foreign languages to business
and we give group and private tuition as well.
We also promote events in and around London to enable people
to enjoy the cultures of the various languages we teach.
Why should you learn a new language?
Learning a foreign language for international business has
become indispensable, yet the number of business personnel and
managers who do not speak a second language is still very high,
especially in the Anglo speaking Countries.
English is the language of international business, diplomacy,
science, technology, and tourism, so why should English speakers
bother to learn foreign languages? The main reason is that
languages give an insight into cultural diversity, learning a
language is crucial in overcoming misunderstandings, gaffes,
prejudice and ignorance of other cultures.
Ignorance of other languages and cultures has led several major
U.S. businesses into many blunders: Kentucky Fried Chicken's
first translation of its "Finger Lickin' Good" slogan into Chinese
turned out to mean "eat your fingers off" and Ford had to pry the
nameplates off the sub-compact Pintos it introduced in Brazil
when it discovered "pinto" was local slang for "small male
genitals".
Learning a language isn't just about vocabulary and grammar
rules, it's about coming to a deep cultural understanding as well
as being regarded as good manners, politeness, a sign of
commitment and interest in other international companies.
At TECLA Languages Limited (Training Executives in Culture and
Language Awareness) we offer courses in: English, Spanish,
Italian, Portuguese, French, German, Russian, Chinese, Japanese
and many others upon request.
