Mission

The Mission of LanguageLearning24


Further training and additional qualifications are currently key keywords for HR managers. Perhaps the most important of these is proficiency in one or more foreign languages. These days, this is by no means limited to higher-skilled jobs or international companies; rather, due to ever-increasing globalization and the rapidly growing tourism sector, it is important in all professions.


Foreign languages are particularly crucial in the service sector. These days, English as a second foreign language is often no longer sufficient: more and more professions require a third, and ideally even a fourth, foreign language.

Language skills are additional qualifications that can help you differentiate yourself from other applicants – especially if you speak an “exotic” language in addition to standard languages such as English and French.
