Languages for assignees
We have worked with over 300 corporations, providing language training for assignees. Overcome the language barrier with BiCortex Languages.
Language training for assignees is essential for a successful relocation
When you relocate for work, learning the local language is essential in enabling you to feel at home in your new country. This doesn’t just apply to the individual who has relocated to a new country for work: it is also important that their family learns the language, too. One of the main reasons that relocations fail is due to the expatriate’s family not adapting to the local culture. It is so much easier to socialize, make friends, and engage in activities such as visiting the theatre or the cinema or just ordering food in a restaurant if you can speak the same language as everyone else.
As part of a relocation package, BiCortex provides both language training for assignees and cross-cultural training. Lessons are provided for expatriates and their spouses, partners and children – relocation assistance should be for everyone if it is to be successful. That way, children will be able to adapt to a new school, where lessons may be taught in a language different to their native tongue. Spouses and partners will find making friends and finding new work a total breeze, too!

BiCortex Languages believes that relocation can be one of the best experiences in your life!
Expatriates sometimes find relocating a daunting experience, but it does not need to be at all. Common hurdles that can make relocation seem difficult include: learning the local language, finding out how and where to socialize, making friends, keeping kids happy in a new school and understanding and adapting to a new culture.
These things can be difficult if you attempt to do them alone. However, with BiCortex’s relocation assistance, the whole process of discovering a new culture, meeting new people, finding a new home and learning a new language will be positively enjoyable.
Studies have shown that learning a second language boosts your brainpower, whilst contact with a new culture is great for enhancing your enjoyment of life. Just think of all of the new films, TV shows, songs, books and plays that you will be able to enjoy after your lessons. And, of course, learning another language really makes you feel at home in a new place: even a beginner’s level means that you can interact in a friendly way with locals and integrate into the community.
After your very first lesson with BiCortex you will find that your cultural and linguistic horizons have begun to expand further, so come join us!
