Läderach Institute of Foreign language Education

The incredible growth of the Indian economy since the early nineties witnessed the internationalization of many companies and the multiplication of economical relations with the West. However, the market was mainly restrained to USA and UK. It is only since a few years that Indians started considering and targeting other parts of the world rather than dealing exclusively with the English speaking ones. On the other hand, many French companies faced with the same situation were unable to benefit fully from the globalized market’s potential. Today, the economical relations between the French speaking countries and the English oriented part of the world are still underdeveloped because of a lack of linguistic skills and cultural understanding. Aware of this problem, the professional trainer Julien Laederach decided to open his own international training center: Läderach Institute of Foreign languages Education (LIFE),  designed with a view to develop foreign language and intercultural skills in order to facilitate professional connections between India and the French speaking part of the world.

To accomplish this mission, the Institute has two professional schools and one International Center to provide information, resources and trainings on culture & foreign languages:

• School of French Language & Culture studies (SFLC)
• School of Indian Languages & Culture studies (SILC)
• International Center for Culture & Foreign languages (ICCF)

Based in Geneva (Switzerland), LIFE expanded its activities in other fields by opening  the Department of Private Tutoring
