For employees moving to a new country
Language training for relocating employees
Help employees who move for work settle in faster, join local conversations, and contribute in their new office with a dedicated tutor.
Timing depends on the requested languages, schedules, and confirmed tutor capacity.
Support for each stage of the move
Language needs change as a relocation progresses. Training can begin before the move and continue while the employee settles into the local team.
Before the move
Build the basics for introductions, practical arrangements, and the first conversations with new colleagues and managers.
The first months in the new office
Practise meetings, small talk, workplace routines, and the questions that come up while learning how the local team works.
Contributing with confidence
Move from getting by to taking part: presenting ideas, giving feedback, and building relationships in the local language.
Practise the situations relocation brings
A dedicated tutor shapes sessions around what the employee is facing that week, at work and in the routines that support it.
Joining a local team
Understand meetings, follow informal conversations, and ask for clarification without losing the thread.
Working with a new manager
Discuss priorities, give updates, and agree expectations clearly in individual conversations with a manager.
Local customers and partners
Prepare for conversations with customers, suppliers, or partners who expect to work in the local language.
Everyday workplace routines
Handle the practical side of a new workplace, from internal messages to phone calls and appointments connected to the move.
One tutor relationship through the transition
The employee keeps a primary tutor who knows their role, goals, and progress, so each session builds on the last. If availability or fit changes, a qualified replacement can continue with the learning history.
Coordinated by HR, private for the employee
HR and mobility teams can follow participation and agreed goals across every relocating employee in the programme. Private lesson material, including recordings, transcripts, and tutor notes, stays outside normal HR reporting.
What HR can see

- Attendance and participation frequency
- General progress and agreed learning goals
- Team-level engagement and programme completion
What remains private

- Private conversations with a tutor
- Private messages and tutor notes
- Individual mistakes and unrelated personal information
Questions and answers
Questions about relocation language training
When should language training start for a relocation?
Ideally before the move, so the employee arrives able to introduce themselves and handle first conversations. Training can also start after arrival and continue while the employee settles in.
Is the training only about work?
The focus is the employee's work and the routines connected to it. The tutor shapes practice around the goals agreed for the programme.
Can complete beginners take part?
Yes. The tutor matches practice to the employee's current level, from first phrases to confident workplace communication.
Do sessions continue during and after the move?
Yes. Sessions are online and individual, so they can continue from the current location, during the move, and in the new country.
