Proper Languages

Your language centre

Our quality language training programmes are for PROfessionals with a PERsonalised approach, hence the origin of the name PROPER. In English, the word PROPER also means “authentic / correctly”, which is exactly the learning experience we provide for our clients.

Located in Geneva, our training centres offer customised solutions for professionals and companies throughout the whole of Switzerland.

Customised

Our method

Everyone learns differently. PROPER Languages is aware of the latest advances in language learning and adapts to the cognitive profile of each learner, offering a tailor-made, personalised approach.

Many foreign language learning methods rely on total immersion as the only solution. However, there are many ways to learn a language and depending on the learner’s profile, background and objective, a purely immersive method can be costly in terms of your training budget. It is important to focus on learning accuracy and fluency simultaneously for long-term results that are in line with your learning style.

Process

The three stages of your training programme

Needs Analysis

We conduct a level test and an online or in person interview to establish your specific needs and your cognitive profile, in order to…
define the course that suits you. This interview is followed by a training agreement signed by both parties. This document serves as a guideline for the programme and provides a framework for its development.

Training

On the basis of the needs analysis carried out beforehand, we offer the most suitable training programme. It is possible to… organise private sessions (in our premises, remotely or at the location of your choice). It is also possible to join one of the groups at our premises, or to organise group sessions at your company.

Evaluation and Reporting

We evaluate the progress of each learner on an ongoing basis and conduct regular quality control checks.…
For in-company courses, a detailed report is provided periodically. This enables Human Resources and/or managers to continuously monitor the attendance and progress of their employees and thus monitor the return on their investment.
