2009-07-31 15:51:22 - Is your French flagging? Your Spanish stuck? Do you wish you had more time to practise your languages and meet other like-minded people? Language Lunches take place at restaurants local to your offices and are absolutely free to attend.

Language Lunches is a new scheme launched by TranslateMedia – an award winning global translations agency providing translations and interpreting services to legal, financial and media firms worldwide. At a “language lunch” you can develop your language skills conveniently during the working week at no expense other than the price of a meal.

TranslateMedia's Managing Director Patrick Eve says, “Despite the fact the TranslateMedia work with some of the most dynamic names in global business, as well as leading household brands, most people tend to perceive the translations industry as a bit dry, so we wanted to create a language-related offering that adds real value to people’s working lives. The idea for language lunches came about when some TranslateMedia staff started

using their lunch-hours to develop their French with the help of some native-speaking employees. We invited some other local companies to join in and now run French language lunches every week at a local restaurants.”

TranslateMedia was founded in response to a growing market demand for a modern, ‘service oriented’ translations agency. The driving factors are accuracy, speed, price and confidentiality with a focus on fast and comprehensive customer support. The company philosophy of ‘excellence in translations’ is back-up by a wider objective to promote multilingual excellence in all forms – and language lunches are designed to offer exactly that.

Language Lunches take place at restaurants local to your offices and are absolutely free to attend. TransateMedia ensure that competent and outgoing native speakers are present to host every lunch. Currently French and Spanish lunches are taking place at a number of venues across the capital, with German and Italian due to launch later this summer.
