Language training for embassies and expats

Settling in Belgium often means working and living in one or two new languages. My Sherpa trains embassy staff and expats in French, Dutch and English, for professional and diplomatic exchanges as well as for everyday life.

Make integration and multilingual exchanges easier for your teams and their families.

On the programme

The situations you work on

A few examples. The final programme starts from your teams’ real situations.

Meetings, official functions, exchanges with Belgian administrations and partners.

Working life

Speak up, write an e-mail, understand the customs of a country with several languages.

Everyday life

Town hall, doctor, school, neighbours: get by and build ties from the very first weeks.

Cultural codes

Understand work and communication habits in Belgium, for faster integration.

Languages, format, follow-up

Another question? Call the Corporate team or ask for a call back.
