Bosnian Courses for Business in Derby

SIMON & SIMON’s team of qualified native Bosnian speaking teachers average 15 years of experience. Professionals and private individuals from all over the UK have benefited from SIMON & SIMON’s Bosnian language courses, all of which are tailor-made to reflect each student's level of experience. We consistently receive outstanding feedback from our clients about our Bosnian tutors. Each student is sent a specific profile on the experience and background of their Bosnian tutor before they start their course of lessons.

The way that modern languages are taught has gone through a revolution in the past few years. If you have only learned languages at school you will find that the experience now is vastly more fun and worthwhile. The Communicative Approach means that your Bosnian lessons in Derby will be almost entirely through the medium of Bosnian. You will feel that you are making real progress, even in the first lesson, and will soon communicate in Bosnian with confidence, in a range of social and business environments.

Both 1:1 and group formats are available for our Bosnian language courses. While most of our clients offer 1:1 Bosnian training, the group format can offer great value for money. If you want groups to be successful, the members must commit to the weekly meetings and we recommend keeping the number of participants below 7. Progress is faster for those who learn Bosnian in Derby on a 1:1 basis as the lessons are individually tailored for their particular needs, strengths and weaknesses.

Bosnian Course Management

Every SIMON & SIMON Bosnian language course has a highly experienced, multi-lingual Account Manager who oversees it. When your Bosnian course starts you will be sent a profile on your trainer, materials for your course and a Course Plan as well as a Progress Report for every 40 hours of training. Breaking the Language Barrier, our quarterly newsletter that you will also receive, contains a prize draw as well as weblinks to a number of learning resources.

SIMON & SIMON has arranged Bosnian language courses for clients in numerous locations, and with our global network of language trainers we can organise a Bosnian language course for you wherever you are - in almost any major city in the UK, Europe and beyond. The vast majority of our Bosnian lessons take place at our clients' offices, removing the need for you to travel, but Bosnian lessons can take place in your home if that is more convenient. We can also arrange full-time residential Bosnian language courses for you - just contact our office for information on available destinations.

Derby Bosnian Course Schedules

Our Bosnian language courses in Derby take place throughout the year. Many of our students try to attend more than one weekly lesson if work commitments allow, and most will attend at least one session of 90-minutes duration per week. If you would like a Weekend Course, one can be arranged. Our Bosnian daytime courses run from 8am through to 8pm, Monday - Friday. We also provide Intensive Bosnian language courses on clients’ premises or in residential centres both in the UK and abroad. These courses run for 30 hours of the week, 6 hours a day from Monday to Friday.

The Bosnian language course that you undertake will be customised for your Bosnian level and personal goals. Before you start the course, we will speak to you about your desired focus and assess you Bosnian level. You may have little or no experience of Bosnian and only want basic conversational skills or you may be more proficient and desire more fluency with which to discuss business. You may want to raise your Bosnian skills for use in meetings and negotiations or rather develop increased comprehension and pronunciation skills. Whatever your objectives, our Bosnian language trainers are highly experienced, and you can be confident that your personalised Bosnian course will help you to meet your goals quickly.

Bosnian Language Examination Courses

SIMON & SIMON also assists in preparation for Bosnian examinations, whether for business or personal qualification. We believe that our 95% pass rate for language examinations is a reflection of our policy of working with Bosnian teachers in Derby who possess above average experience. Registration for and administration of Bosnian examinations, along with the issuing of results certificates are all provided by SIMON & SIMON.

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.

Derby is a city and unitary authority in the East Midlands region of England. It lies upon the banks of the River Derwent and is located in the south of the ceremonial county of Derbyshire. In the 2001 census, the population of the city was 233,700, whilst that of the Derby Urban Area was 229,407. According to the 2001 census, Derby was at that time the 18th largest settlement in England, measured by urban area. The city has Roman, Saxon and Viking origins. The Roman camp of 'Derventio' was probably at Little Chester/Chester Green. The site of the old Roman fort is at Chester Green. Later the town was one of the 'Five Boroughs' (fortified towns) of the Danelaw. The popular belief is that the name 'Derby' is a corruption of the Danish and Gaelic Djúra-bý, recorded in Anglo-Saxon as Deoraby "Village of the Deer". This popular belief is asserted by Tim Lambert who states, "The name Derby is derived from the Danish words deor by meaning deer settlement" without reference or proof. However some assert that it is a corruption of the original Roman name 'Derventio'. The proven origin of the name "Derby" would seem to be elusive.
