Business success in a foreign market depends on your preparation and willingness to adapt to a different language, people, culture and business practices. We can help you make that happen.
We take the time and effort to understand their businesses, values and people, building a long-term, close relationship, to help them communicate effectively across language and cultural barriers.
Here is what some of our clients said about working with Zên Languages:
‘We chose Zen Languages because they have a professional, motivational and flexible approach to our business needs for Spanish language training. This teaching supports the role of different staff in the area of sales and procurement, and this has a tangible and positive impact on our key business relationships with our overseas growers.’
‘We chose Zen Languages because we had been seeking a solution to language training for an employee from Poland who needed to improve her confidence with English Language. Her role was about to become a management one, and she felt her lack of vocabulary was an impediment to gaining the staff respect and co-operation she would need. It was an unusual set of circumstances warranting one-to-one tuition rather than any kind of college day-release or evening course, and we had no idea where we might find such training in a cost-effective way and without restricting her availability to our clients. We were fortunate to find out about what Zen Languages can offer, and how prepared they were to tailor to our requirements and suggest options for funding grants. Both our employee and ourselves as employers are very happy with the results.’
‘Zen Languages carry out a professional and reliable translation service for us. They manage the translation process extremely well, and often return translations before our due deadline. Zen Languages has also been proactive in finding out about specific vocabulary related to our business, and we really appreciate this level of service and commitment.’
‘I would just like to thank you for our translation. Leeds Castle found Zen Languages very friendly, quick and extremely helpful, as well as also providing a quality product at a competitive price. We would be more than happy to work with Zen Languages again.’
'I was very pleased with the translation work undertaken by Zen Languages. Our creative agency found them extremely helpful, with tight deadlines and nothing but the most professional of service. Thank you.'
“Effective and appropriate.”
“Fun and informative.”
“Very insightful and engaging.”
“Professional and informative. This will help the way I liaise with my candidates in Germany.”
‘We really enjoyed your session. It certainly livened up the atmosphere and was very informative.’
‘I am sure that your sensible and light hearted presentation will have helped many of the delegates who attended.’
‘In 2008 we were asked to organise and host Prognosfruit, the world's leading conference for the apple and pear industries, which is held annually in Europe. More than two hundred delegates attended the three day programme. Zen Languages were commissioned to manage the event and to organise and provide interpreters, reception staff, sound, lighting and the stage. The service they provided was outstanding with great attention to detail and efficiency at all times. Costs were very competitive. Zen Languages made many constructive and helpful suggestions. The staff and equipment provided were of high quality and the event was widely regarded as having set new high standards in every respect. I would strongly recommend Zen Languages to any individual or organisation requiring any aspect of event management, advice or provision of associated services.’
‘The programme was almost certainly the most successful and enjoyable in Prognosfruit’s 32-year history.’
