Chinese Courses for Business in Luton

SIMON & SIMON’s team of qualified native Chinese speaking teachers average 15 years of experience. Professionals and private individuals from all over the UK have benefited from SIMON & SIMON’s Chinese 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 Chinese tutors. Each student is sent a specific profile on the experience and background of their Chinese tutor before they start their course of lessons.

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 Chinese course in Luton, you will make progress from the very first lesson, as almost everything will be done in Chinese. This is known as the Communicative Approach, and means that your confidence and ability will soon grow so that you can use Chinese to communicate in social and business settings.

Both 1:1 and group formats are available for our Chinese language courses. While most of our clients offer 1:1 Chinese 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 Chinese in Luton on a 1:1 basis as the lessons are individually tailored for their particular needs, strengths and weaknesses.

Chinese Course Management

Every SIMON & SIMON Chinese language course is overseen by one of our highly experienced Account Managers, all of whom are multi-lingual. At the start of your Chinese language course we will send you a profile on your trainer, followed by a Course Plan and relevant course materials, and then a Progress Report after every 40 hours of training. You will also receive a copy of our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, featuring a superb prize draw and invaluable weblinks to language learning sources.

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

Luton Chinese Course Schedules

Our Chinese language courses in Luton 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 Chinese daytime courses run from 8am through to 8pm, Monday - Friday. We also provide Intensive Chinese 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 Chinese language course that you undertake will be customised for your Chinese level and personal goals. Before you start the course, we will speak to you about your desired focus and assess you Chinese level. You may have little or no experience of Chinese 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 Chinese skills for use in meetings and negotiations or rather develop increased comprehension and pronunciation skills. Whatever your objectives, our Chinese language trainers are highly experienced, and you can be confident that your personalised Chinese course will help you to meet your goals quickly.

Chinese Language Examination Courses

SIMON & SIMON also assists in preparation for Chinese 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 Chinese teachers in Luton who possess above average experience. Registration for and administration of Chinese 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.

Standard Chinese is a standardized form of spoken Chinese, based on the Beijing dialect of Mandarin Chinese. Standard Chinese is the official language of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (ROC, also known as Taiwan), as well as one of four official languages of Singapore. It is one of the six official languages of the United Nations. About one-fifth of the world’s population, or over one billion people, speaks some variety of Chinese as their native language. Linguists often view Chinese as a language family, though owing to China's socio-political and cultural situation, and the fact that all spoken varieties use one common written system, it is customary to refer to these generally mutually unintelligible variants as "the Chinese language".

Luton is a large town and unitary authority of Bedfordshire, England, 30 miles (51 kilometres) north of London. Luton and its near neighbours, Dunstable and Houghton Regis, form the Luton/Dunstable Urban Area with a population of over 240,000. Luton is home to Blue Square Premier team Luton Town Football Club, whose history includes several spells in the top flight of the English league as well as a Football League Cup triumph in 1988. They play at Kenilworth Road stadium, which has been their home since 1905. London Luton Airport, opened in 1938, is one of England's major airports. During the Second World War it doubled as an RAF base. The University of Bedfordshire is based in the town. The Luton Carnival, held on the late May bank holiday, is the largest one-day carnival in Europe. The town was for many years famous for hat-making and was also home to a large Vauxhall Motors factory; the head office of Vauxhall Motors is still situated in the town. Car production at the plant began in 1905 and continued until 2002, but commercial vehicle production remains.
