Dorrit Johnsen is regional manager Nordics at Berlitz Sweden and they recently joined the Dutch Chamber as a corporate member. So we asked Dorrit Johnsen to tell us more about this international company that provides language lessons and cultural training.
Can you tell us more about Berlitz Sweden/The Berlitz cooperation?
Since 1878, Berlitz has helped businesses, professionals, actors, and politicians enhance their language skills and communication abilities. Berlitz was established in Sweden, September 30th, 1931.
Our Training is offered in various formats—face-to-face, online, or a flexible blend of both. All courses share the globally recognised Berlitz Method®. This method is based on the premise that acquiring language skills should be straightforward. How? you might wonder. Everyone who has tried to learn a language knows it doesn’t happen with the snap of a finger.
At Berlitz, all lessons are conducted in your chosen language, whether you’re a complete beginner or highly advanced. Each lesson is strategically crafted with a defined goal. It starts with a presentation of new vocabulary, followed by guided exercises to ensure precise pronunciation and accuracy. The next phase encourages the learner to express themselves more freely through dialogue and role-play. While there’s no magic involved, the Berlitz Method maximizes speaking time, leading to rapid results.
Within Berlitz’s framework, the focus is on developing the learner’s speaking and listening skills. Grammar is acquired contextually and by topic, ensuring proper usage. Ultimately, Berlitz guarantees an active and dynamic language acquisition process through personalized, goal-oriented, and immersive methods. The training is tailored to meet the learner’s unique needs and aspirations.
