Simple language in business: writing clear and understandable texts

Overcoming language barriers with simple language

This training is held in German.

This reduces queries, strengthens customer loyalty and improves your company image. Communication also works better internally - especially with colleagues and non-German-speaking employees. This results in fewer misunderstandings. Apply what you have learned directly to the texts you bring with you to the training.
