Bosnian Courses for Business in Reading

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.

Modern language teaching is now approached much differently to how you might remember learning languages in school. The experience is now much more fun and rewarding. The Communicative Approach, where your Bosnian teacher will conduct your lessons almost entirely in Bosnian means that progress is made from your very first lesson. Soon, you will have such confidence that using Bosnian in a social or business setting will be no problem.

Our Bosnian courses are usually offered by our clients as 1:1 training for their employees. Group sessions, however, are also available and can be excellent value for money. Planning is required so that participants all meet at the same time each week, and we recommend that numbers are kept to 6 or less. 1:1 Bosnian lessons at Reading mean that you will have your individual needs, weaknesses and strengths catered for, so that your progress is quicker.

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.

We have a global network of language trainers so our Bosnian language courses can be arranged for almost any major European city, or even further abroad. SIMON & SIMON have run Bosnian language courses for clients in many diverse locations. Bosnian language courses can be run in your home for your convenience, but many of our clients prefer to run them in their offices so as to minimise travel. For a list of the locations of the full-time residential Bosnian language courses that we offer, contact our office.

Reading Bosnian Course Schedules

We run our Bosnian language courses in Reading all through the year. Many of our students, if work commitments allow, will attend more than one session weekly, and the vast majority take part in at least one 90-minute lesson weekly. We also arrange weekend Bosnian courses on request. Our Bosnian programs commence from 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday. Intensive 30 hour per week Bosnian language courses, held on clients’ premises or at residential centres in the UK or abroad, are also available on a 6 hours per day basis, Monday through Friday.

Whatever your personal level of experience and future goals, your Bosnian course will be customised for you. Before you start the course we will assess your level of Bosnian and discuss in detail what you would like to focus on. You may desire simply to gain everyday Bosnian skills from the level of a complete beginner, or you may have more experience in Bosnian and want to improve your ability to discuss banking, finance or marketing. You may want to develop improved pronunciation and comprehension skills or improve your Bosnian for use in negotiations and meetings. Whatever your goals and needs, our highly experienced Bosnian language trainers will tailor your Bosnian course so that your goals will be met quickly.

Bosnian Language Examination Courses

If you are taking a Bosnian examination, for business or other reasons, we are happy to help you with your preparations. We are very proud of the 95% pass rate of our students in language examinations. We believe this highlights the value of working with Bosnian teachers in Reading whose experience is above average. SIMON & SIMON can also register you for your Bosnian examination, administer the examination and issue you your 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.

Reading is a large town and unitary authority area in England, located at the confluence of the River Thames and River Kennet, and on both the Great Western Main Line railway and the M4 motorway, some 40 miles (64 km) west of London. For ceremonial purposes it is in the Royal County of Berkshire and has served as the county town since 1867. Reading was an important national centre in the medieval period, as the site of an important monastery with strong royal connections. Today it remains a commercial centre, with links to information technology and insurance. Reading also hosts two universities, a large student population, and is home to one of England's biggest music festivals. The settlement was founded at the confluence of the River Thames and River Kennet in the 8th century as Readingum. The name probably comes from the Readingas, an Anglo-Saxon tribe whose name means "Reada's People" in Old English, or (less probably) the Celtic Rhydd-Inge, "Ford over the River". The name of the settlement was derived from an earlier folk, or tribal, name. Anglo-Saxon names ending in -ingas originally referred not to a place but to a people, in this case specifically the descendants or followers of a man named Reada, literally "The Red One."
