This volume is part of a course for students wishing to improve their communication skills in German for business purposes. The course assumes a basic knowledge of German and is suitable both for post-GCSE students and business people seeking greatest fluency for professional reasons. The emphasis is placed very much upon practical, oral communication, and a dialogue running through the book traces the progress of business dealings between a German and a British firm. This second edition has been expanded and revised to take account of recent developments in the language, business culture and political life of Germany and the German-speaking nations.
