our life. Where ever we go language is needed. In different places different languages are there

so we learn that languages means useful to us to face others easily without anyone help.

Let’s speak provide training in six different languages. There are

English

Japanese

German

French

Hindi

Tamil

ENGLISH:

The technological revolution has created a need to be conversant with English as it acts

as a 'bridge' language between native and non-native speakers to interact with one another. When

people of several nationalities meet, English becomes the common language of communication;

rightly it has been called 'lingua franca'.

English is increasingly popular in international diplomacy. People in Australia, New

Zealand, Canada, India, parts of Africa and many smaller island nations speak English. It is the

commonly adopted second language in Germany, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and the

Netherlands. Education, research, and common industry vocabulary is in English. International

business meetings and conferences are conducted in English, global companies standardize on

English with documents and computer systems all set up in English. Consequently, command

over the English language opens opportunities for education and work in these countries.

Proficiency in English would enable you to converse better with people in the

neighborhood who are from other States of India, in your work place, in an online forum, in

other formal as well as informal environments. Travel enthusiasts can go places if they are able

to converse in English. If you are in an international airport you will observe that signs are

usually in two languages, the local language and in English, which implies English is

indispensable at home and outside the country.

Several of us are embarrassed to speak in English as we do not wish to be the ‘laughing

stock.’ Conversely, mistakes help one learn better. Don’t waste a chance to speak English

because you are nervous about making a mistake.

Be confident with an ‘I can do it’ attitude, which will help you learn better.

HOW IT CAN HELP

Let's speak aims to enhance your inter personal skills by equipping you with vocabulary

that is concise, specific and appropriately formal. You need not remain tongue-tied or nervous.

CORPORATE TRAINING

Why is corporate training so important today? Employees form the backbone of any

business enterprise. While those in the management are involved in decision-making their

employees offer services to execute the same. Every individual’s contribution is significant for

the well-being of the company.

According to Harvard Business Review, dissatisfaction with some employee-

development efforts appears to fuel many early exits. What is the reason for this? Formal training

is expensive and can take employees off the job for a while. Employers are unwilling to invest in

workers who might not stay long. This creates a vicious circle; companies will not train workers

because ‘they might leave and workers leave because they do not get training.’ Employee

training and development is essential to a successful company.

Technological revolution and globalization has made it imperative to hire outstanding

qualified professionals who are equipped with exceptional inter personal skills. These skills

require upgrading through training, mentoring and coaching. An excellent communicator is an

asset to a company

How can corporate training help? Training refers to the process of acquiring the essential

skills required for a certain job. Workers may have certain constraints which hinder them from

offering their best. An organized training and development program facilitates employees to

eliminate their ‘weak spots,’ be well informed about the day to day procedure, perform

effectively, efficiently and energetically, thus maintain uniformity in the overall output. Optimal

utilization of man power and resources increases the productivity and profitability of a company.

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

What is personality? Personality refers to a person’s characteristics, behavior, attitude,

mentality and appearance. For example, your personality is how you present yourself before

others. It is a set of features that appeals to the public.

Your personality affects your achievement in a situation. If you can easily interact with

new people, you are likely to be successful in sales and business development roles than a person

who tends to be less articulate. Likewise, if you are methodical, systematic and pay attention to

detail, you are more suitable for engineering roles than a person who is expedient (pays less

attention to structure and details).

IMPORTANCE OF PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

Personality Development fundamentally means grooming and enhancing one’s inner and

outer personality to bring in a growth mindset that will allow a person to lead a less stressful and

more successful life. Every individual possesses a distinct persona that could be refined and

developed. This technique includes improving communication techniques, language speaking

abilities, boosting self- confidence, developing positive traits; unless you have a sound

personality, you will not be able to achieve a high amount of success in life.

WHAT YOU WILL BE TRAINED IN?

Every individual reflects and responds to a situation in different ways. The course aims to

improve and change the inner traits like attitude, confidence, and perception. It includes personal

grooming and body language- conversation skills, attitude, posture, and dress style, even the

hair-style is important. Personal grooming includes everything that makes you more

sophisticated.

In these courses you will be trained to speak better before a diverse group of people, to

dress up suitably according to the prescribed dress code, customs and practices of places,

conduct yourself well, and remain calm in tough situations. Qualities like leadership, sense of

humor, good behavior and efficient convincing skills would be attended to during this process.

Personality development sessions steer you to develop the qualities you already possess, also to

inculcate new ones.

BODY LANGUAGE

Body language refers to various forms of non verbal communication, wherein individuals

may reveal clues of unspoken intentions or feelings through their physical behavior. These can

include body posture, gestures, facial expressions and eye movements. Body language provides

clues as to the attitude or state of mind of a person. It may indicate aggression, attentiveness,

boredom, a relaxed state, pleasure, amusement, and intoxication.

WHY IS BODY LANGUAGE IMPORTANT IN COMMUNICATION?

Communication plays a very important role in professional life and we have to learn all

the aspects of proper communication in order to progress in our careers. We lay emphasis on oral

and written communication but we often fail to realize that body language is the most important

means of communication which tells more about us than the way we speak or write emails. Body

language can send stronger signals than words or written text, as it is not easy to wear a mask in

a face to face interaction.

HINDI LEARNING: WHY AND HOW

Apart from being the official language of India and spoken in several parts of the country,

Hindi is the fourth most widely spoken language in the world (Wikipedia).

It is estimated that nearly half a billion people worldwide speak this wonderful language.

Latest research has shown that learning a second language helps fight against Alzheimer’s

disease and slows down the aging effects of the brainCommunicating effectively in Hindi will

prove beneficial to any learner, from a home maker to the CEO of a multinational company. One

of the most challenging things in learning a language is to produce the exact sound with the right

stress and intonation. There are often words that can sound very similar to our English ears but

are completely different to native speakers’ ears. Even though online tutors address this, learning

the language from a native speaker helps a learner speak with correct pronunciation, appreciate

and understand the dialect of the various Hindi speaking States and also learn the Devanagri

script of writing for use in a personal and professional environment.

FRENCH:

French is a language spoken by over two-hundred million people on the five continents.

After English, French is the most learned language in the world, and the ninth most spoken

language It is the only language taught in every country in the world, also the third most used

language on the internet after English and German. Ability to speak French and English is an

advantage in the international job market.

French is both a working language and an official language of the United Nations, the

European Union, UNESCO, NATO, the International Olympic Committee, the International Red

Cross and international courts. It is also the language of the three cities where the EU institutions

are headquartered: Strasbourg, Brussels and Luxembourg. Knowing French will allow you not

only to function but to compete effectively in the global economy of the future. It opens the

doors of French companies in France and other French-speaking parts of the world (Canada,

Switzerland, Belgium…)

France is the second most visited tourist location in the world and knowing a little bit of

French will make your travel experience that much better. The French vocabulary has semblance

to English, which makes it easy to learn. Over 40 to 50% of English vocabulary comes from the

French Language. French literature and history play a huge role in global education.

While learning any language, there are different levels based on which the proficiency of

the person’s language learning ability is defined. We provide training for 3 levels, namely A1,

A2, B1 and also for School Kids (Academic).

exercises to enhance spelling, language structure, and sentence structure. This is not a tenderfoot

paragraph or short essay about his personal experiences or some simple topic that uses basic

words.

GERMAN – LANGUAGE

After French, German is the foreign language that people learn more. German as a

language for study has been included in the syllabus of many universities and schools. Why is

this language such importance? In an increasingly globalized world, a German degree gives

students access to the language, culture, and market place of three leading European nations,

namely Switzerland, Austria, and Germany. Together, the inhabitants of these three countries,

combined with native speakers in other regions of the globe, make German the most spoken

language in the European Union and the tenth most spoken language in the world.

On a professional level, speaking and understanding another language opens many career

opportunities. German is one of the main languages used in business and international

diplomacy. After the fall of the Soviet Union, German became the lingua franca of central

Europe, bridging the gap between former Cold War adversaries. Many international conferences

and trade shows also use German as their working language. German is the second most

commonly used scientific language. When you learn German you acquire a range of skills which

can improve the quality of both your work and life:

If you are looking forward to learn German, you will be assessed on your language

learning abilities based on three different levels which are A1, A2, B1. These levels are based on

the Common European Framework of Reference for languages (CEFR). Levels A1 and A2 refer
