Leira...Beyond Words LLC offers unique and innovative services that are not available anywhere else in the world. Specifically, all services and training material are designed ‘in-house’ using the “Leira Method” , a method developed over the past 15 years by Company founder Cristina Leira. This 'Method' has proven to be highly effective in obtaining quick results.

Courses are tailor-made to meet customer specific needs and requirements including vocabulary modules and situational role-plays and scenarios unique to each client. Course offerings include flexible scheduling, mobile training and customized material. Courses are taught by highly trained native or near-native speaking instructors who have been certified in the “Leira Method”. Curricula and instruction are currently available in twenty-four languages: Chinese, Dari, English, Farsi, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Iraqi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Pashto, Portuguese, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Spanish, Standard Arabic, Sudanese, Tagalog, Thai, Turkic, Urdu and Vietnamese. The curriculum is also available in other languages upon customer request.

Leira...Beyond Words LLC's language training is always placed in the context of the culture from which it originated. Body language and non-verbal communication are often as important if not more important than verbal communication. These non-verbal cues and customs vary significantly from culture to culture. At Leira...Beyond Words LLC we emphasize cultural awareness as an integral part of all course curricula.

Training Courses Offered

• Language Acquisition Courses: intensive courses to learn the target language. The more concentrated the hours, the faster the results. All language acquisition courses include cultural awareness, customized vocabulary and grammar studies.
• One to Ten Day Intensives: a one to ten day course of intensive instruction focusing on sentence structure and ‘real life’ vocabulary. The student will gain the basic communication skills needed in a foreign country. The course can be tailor-made to include customer specific vocabulary modules and scenarios.
• Refresher Workshop: a one, two or three day workshop designed for students who have reached a certain level of language proficiency and just need to brush up on their language skills. This keeps previously acquired language skills alive and accessible. 
• Language Maintenance Course: a periodic maintenance program to keep students from losing acquired language skills and to deepen target language knowledge.
• One-on-One Tutoring: individual instruction to meet the specific needs of the customers.
• In-Country and In-House Immersions: a weekend, one week, or two week course in which the student is sent to a location where only the target language is spoken during the immersion. This can take the form of an “in-country immersion” where students are sent to a language center in a foreign country or an “in-house immersion” within a local facility. The student learns in a relaxed atmosphere without the pressures of the classroom. Learning in the target language and its cultural customs are non-stop as the student goes about his/her daily activities.
• Cultural Awareness: a separate seminar or workshop in which the target culture is studied in terms of its traditions, body language, and specific regional customs.
• Topic-Specific Modules: separate workshops designed to meet customer specific requests. These include vocabulary, situations, and scenarios related to the customer’s individual language requirements and field of expertise.
• Communication Packages:  specific courses, seminars or workshops developed by the Company’s team of professionals on subjects such as leadership and public speaking.

Other Services Offered

• Translation: translation services to meet the requirements of each assignment.
• Interpretation: qualified interpreters for situations in which effective communication mandates the use of a linguistic intermediary.
