Bosnian Courses for Business in Bristol

Private individuals and professionals in companies all over the UK have profited from undertaking a Bosnian Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. Averaging 15 years of experience, our native Bosnian speaking qualified teachers construct your course so that your individual requirements are met, no matter what your level of experience. Our Bosnian teachers receive excellent feedback from our clients. A profile, containing information about the Bosnian teacher’s background and experience, is sent to each student before the Bosnian lessons start.

New teaching approaches have revolutionised how modern language training is now approached. This training, with more fun and a more worthwhile experience means that it’s a far cry from what you may remember of studying languages in school. When you start a Bosnian course in Bristol, you will make progress from the very first lesson, as almost everything will be done in Bosnian. This is known as the Communicative Approach, and means that your confidence and ability will soon grow so that you can use Bosnian to communicate in social and business settings.

Our Bosnian language courses are available on both a 1:1 and group basis, but the majority of our clients offer 1:1 Bosnian training to their employees. However, with careful planning, group training can offer great value for money, provided there is a real commitment from the participants to get together at the same time every week. We strongly recommend you keep group numbers to 6 or less for these types of courses to be successful. Those learning Bosnian in at Bristol on a 1:1 basis will naturally make much faster progress, as the course will be designed around their individual needs and focus on their particular strengths and weaknesses.

Bosnian Course Management

Each of SIMON & SIMON’s Bosnian languages courses is the responsibility of a multi-lingual, very experienced Account Manager. When you start your Bosnian course, you will receive your trainer’s profile. Thereafter we will send you a Course Plan, materials for the course and, after each 40 hours of training, a Progress Report. Our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, will also reach you, and contains a prize draw as well as the weblinks of language learning resources.

SIMON & SIMON Bosnian language courses have been arranged for clients in various locations. We have a global network of trainers and wherever you are, we will be able to organise a Bosnian language course for you, not only in the UK but in almost any of the major cities in Europe and beyond. Most of our Bosnian courses are run at the offices of our clients so that you do not have to travel, but we are happy to arrange Bosnian training sessions for you in your home. Full-time Bosnian courses can be arranged in a residential setting for you. Our office has information on the locations we offer.

Bristol Bosnian Course Schedules

Our Bosnian language courses in Bristol go on all year. Some of our students attend more than one 90-minute weekly session if work circumstances allow, and most will attend at least one per week. Weekend Courses in Bosnian can be arranged on request. Our Bosnian courses are available 12 hours a day, from 8am to 8pm Monday through Friday. 30 hour per week intensive Bosnian courses can be held on clients’ premises or in residential centres in the UK or abroad. These courses take 6 hours per day, Monday through Friday.

We will tailor your Bosnian language course for your specific aims and level of knowledge. Before you start your Bosnian language course we will assess your goals and level of Bosnian experience. Your desire to learn Bosnian may be simply to develop basic skills, or you may have some level of proficiency and wish to increase your ability to use Bosnian to discuss business. You may want to develop your language skills so that you can use Bosnian in negotiations and meetings or improve your pronunciation and telephone skills. No matter what goals you have, you can be confident of our Bosnian trainers experience and that your Bosnian language course is tailored to your needs and your goals will be quickly met.

Bosnian Language Examination Courses

Our students’ pass rate for Bosnian examinations is at 95%, and we are happy to help with the preparations for any such examination. Our high pass rate shows the value of working with Bosnian teachers in Bristol who have a higher level of experience than average. SIMON & SIMON also arrange registration for Bosnian examinations as well as administering the examination and issuing the results.

The table below is based on recognised language levels used by various academic institutions accross the European Union. A highly motivated student attending weekly sessions with their language trainer can expect to move from one level to another after 50 hours providing they also commit to a similar number of hours of self-study.

Of course, some people find learning languages easier than others, and some students will have more opportunities to practise the language in the course of their work and leisure, so these factors also need to be considered when trying to assess how long it will take to move from one level to another.

Bosnian is a name commonly used for Serbo-Croatian as spoken by Bosniaks. As a standardized form of the Shtokavian dialect, it is one of three Serbo-Croatian standards used officially in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The same subdialect of Shtokavian is also the basis of standard Croatian, Serbian, and Montenegrin, so all are mutually intelligible. Up until the dissolution of former SFR Yugoslavia, they were treated as a unitary Serbo-Croatian language, and that term is still used to refer to the common base (vocabulary, grammar and syntax) of what are today officially four national standards. The Bosnian standard uses both Latin and Cyrillic alphabet.

Bristol is a city, unitary authority area and ceremonial county in South West England, with an estimated population of 433,100 for the unitary authority in 2009, and a surrounding Larger Urban Zone (LUZ) with an estimated 1,006,600 residents, it is England's sixth, and the United Kingdom's eighth most populous city, one of the group of English Core Cities and the most populous city in South West England. Bristol received a Royal Charter in 1155 and was granted County status in 1373. From the 13th century, for half a millennium, it ranked amongst the top three English cities after London, alongside York and Norwich, on the basis of tax receipts, until the rapid rise of Liverpool, Birmingham and Manchester during the Industrial Revolution in the latter part of the 18th century. It borders the counties of Somerset and Gloucestershire, and is also located near the historic cities of Bath to the south east and Gloucester to the north. The city is built around the River Avon, and it also has a short coastline on the Severn Estuary, which flows into the Bristol Channel. Bristol is the largest centre of culture, employment and education in the region. Its prosperity has been linked with the sea since its earliest days. The commercial Port of Bristol was originally in the city centre before being moved to the Severn Estuary at Avonmouth; Royal Portbury Dock is on the western edge of the city boundary.
