Chinese Courses for Business in WorcestershirePlease click a title below for further information: Private individuals and professionals in companies all over the UK have profited from undertaking a Chinese Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. Averaging 15 years of experience, our native Chinese speaking qualified teachers construct your course so that your individual requirements are met, no matter what your level of experience.
Our Chinese teachers receive excellent feedback from our clients. A profile, containing information about the Chinese teacher’s background and experience, is sent to each student before the Chinese lessons start.
Maybe your only knowledge of studying languages is what you remember from school. Modern language teaching has recently changed to be much more entertaining and rewarding.
Your Chinese lessons in Worcestershire will be carried out almost completely in Chinese. This is the Communicative Approach and by this method you will notice progress from the initial lesson. You will soon feel confident and able to use Chinese to communicate in various business and social situations. Chinese courses from us can be run for groups or individuals. While many of our clients offer their employees Chinese courses on a 1:1 basis, group sessions can be excellent value. Group sessions do require planning and commitment from the participants and we recommend that no more than 6 people participate in a group.
As 1:1 lessons can be tailored to an individual’s needs, strengths and weaknesses, learning Chinese in Worcestershire on a 1:1 basis will give quicker progress. Chinese Course ManagementEvery 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. Worcestershire Chinese Course SchedulesThe Chinese language courses in Worcestershire that we run go on through the year. Each week, most of our students will attend at least one of our 90-minute lessons, but many will do more.
We can easily arrange Weekend Courses for you. Chinese courses run from Monday to Friday, any time from 8am to 8pm.
Intensive Chinese language courses can be arranged in residential centres abroad or in the UK, or on clients’ premises for 30 hours per week, 6 hours a day Monday to Friday. Before you start your Chinese language course we will assess your level of Chinese and speak to you about your aims so that your Chinese language course can be customised for you. You may have never been exposed to Chinese before and wish to develop basic survival skills, or you may have some experience and wish to be able to speak more fluently in Chinese when discussing business. You may want to further your ability to use Chinese in negotiations and meetings or better your comprehension and pronunciation abilities. Whatever goals you may have, our experienced Chinese language trainers will tailor your Chinese course so that your goals can be quickly met. Chinese Language Examination CoursesWe are happy to help in your preparation for any Chinese examinations. Our students have a 95% pass rate and we think that their success shows the value of our policy of working with above-average experienced Chinese teachers in Worcestershire.
Issuing of results certificates, registration for Chinese examinations and administration of such exams is also 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.

SIMON & SIMON International
Breaking the Language Barrier Back to top of Chinese Courses Worcestershire 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". Worcestershire is a non-metropolitan county, established in antiquity, located in the West Midlands region of central England. In 1974 it was merged with the neighbouring county of Herefordshire to form the county of Hereford and Worcester; which was divided in 1998, re-establishing Worcestershire once more as an independent entity. Following the 1998 reform the crest of the Malvern Hills forms the east–west border between the two counties, with the exception of the parish of West Malvern in Worcestershire.
The county borders Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, West Midlands, Warwickshire, and Gloucestershire. To the west, the county is bordered by the Malvern Hills, and the spa town of Malvern. The southern part of the county is bordered by Gloucestershire and the northern edge of the Cotswolds, and to the east is Warwickshire. There are two major rivers flowing through the county, the Severn and the Avon.
The cathedral city of Worcester is the largest settlement and administrative seat of the county, which includes the principal settlements of Bromsgrove, Stourport-on-Severn, Droitwich, Evesham, Kidderminster, Malvern, and the largest town, Redditch, and a number of smaller towns such as Pershore, Tenbury Wells, and Upton upon Severn. The northern part of the county includes the beginnings of the vast urban sprawl of the industrial West Midlands agglomeration, while the remainder and the south of the county is largely rural.
