An example of a few well-chosen words given by Michael Bristow, CEO of Business Language Services. "In the early 1970s, at the height of the Cold War. I started a 10 day business trip to Eastern Europe by crossing through the Berlin Wall. A bitter wind and the grayness of East Berlin did nothing to lift my mood of unease. A grim looking VOPO - East German border guard - took my passport and then slammed it back down on the metal counter between us. "Keppilendink" he grunted. "Wie bitte? - What's up?" I replied. "Keppy lending" ... a pause ... "Heppy lending" ..."Happy landings!" he finally grinned. The grayness lifted - just two words and the world seemed a better place. We don't do programs for East German border guards - but we do some for YOU and the principle is always the same - "A Few Words go a Long Way." Do try our Free Evaluation Program for yourself."

Let us do most of the work for you - simply use our new
method to speak fluently and confidently.
Leave that old-fashioned phrase book at home
when you go on vacation.
