At Bertelsmann, we also embrace this diversity, with more than 90 languages spoken across our global teams!

Why a language course is worth it for YOU:

Language skills are a key asset in today’s interconnected world. Whether it’s learning English for professional use, improving another language, or exploring a completely new one, expanding your language repertoire can bring many benefits. Being multilingual not only enhances your ability to communicate effectively across borders but also deepens your cultural understanding and strengthens collaboration with partners and clients worldwide.

In a global business environment like Bertelsmann, language skills can open doors to international opportunities, boost your career prospects, and provide valuable insights into diverse perspectives.

Bertelsmann University, in collaboration with Learnship and LinkedIn Learning, offers a wide variety of language courses. You can choose from languages such as English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Norwegian, Dutch, Arabic, Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, and Business English. The language courses are aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), which categorizes you from A1 (beginner) to C2 (expert). Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, there’s a course suited to your level.

Depending on how you prefer to learn, there are different formats available:

  • From free e-learning courses where you can learn at your own pace,
