Croatian Courses for Business in ColchesterPlease click a title below for further information: Private individuals and professionals in companies all over the UK have profited from undertaking a Croatian Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. Averaging 15 years of experience, our native Croatian speaking qualified teachers construct your course so that your individual requirements are met, no matter what your level of experience.
Our Croatian teachers receive excellent feedback from our clients. A profile, containing information about the Croatian teacher’s background and experience, is sent to each student before the Croatian lessons start.
If the only experience you have of studying a language is from your time in school, you may not know that there has been a revolution in the teaching of modern languages so that it is both more fun and more worthwhile.
Your Croatian teacher in Colchester will be using the Communicative Approach, where your lessons will, with few exceptions, be conducted in Croatian. You will see your progress from that very first lesson and will soon be confident enough to conduct business or talk socially in Croatian. The Croatian courses that we offer can be run as 1:1 or group sessions. While most of our clients use 1:1 Croatian training for their employees, group sessions can be good value. Participants numbers should be kept to 6 or less, and they will need to commit to meeting every week.
If you require faster progress, 1:1 Croatian courses at Colchester are more suitable as the lessons and course can be tailored to the individual’s needs while focusing on their specific weaknesses and strengths. Croatian Course ManagementA multi-lingual Account Manager with extensive experience is responsible for each SIMON & SIMON Croatian language course.
A profile on your trainer, Course Plan and course materials will be sent to you when you start your Croatian course. After every 40 hours of training you will receive a Progress Report. We will also send you Breaking the Language Barrier, our quarterly newsletter, which contains a wonderful prize draw and valuable language learning resource weblinks. Croatian language courses have been run by SIMON & SIMON in many locations. Our global network of language trainers means that any major city in the UK Europe, and beyond can hold your Croatian language course.
We can arrange your Croatian language lessons for your own home, but many of our clients like to run them in their offices so as to minimise travel.
Residential full-time Croatian language courses are also available. Our office can discuss available locations with you. Colchester Croatian Course SchedulesOur Croatian language courses in Colchester 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 Croatian daytime courses run from 8am through to 8pm, Monday - Friday.
We also provide Intensive Croatian 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 Croatian language course that you undertake will be customised for your Croatian level and personal goals. Before you start the course, we will speak to you about your desired focus and assess you Croatian level.
You may have little or no experience of Croatian 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 Croatian skills for use in meetings and negotiations or rather develop increased comprehension and pronunciation skills.
Whatever your objectives, our Croatian language trainers are highly experienced, and you can be confident that your personalised Croatian course will help you to meet your goals quickly. Croatian Language Examination CoursesSIMON & SIMON also assists in preparation for Croatian 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 Croatian teachers in Colchester who possess above average experience.
Registration for and administration of Croatian 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.

SIMON & SIMON International
Breaking the Language Barrier Back to top of Croatian Courses Colchester Croatian is the collective name for the standard language and dialects spoken by Croats, principally in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Serbian province of Vojvodina and other neighbouring countries. They are varieties of the Serbo-Croatian language, along with Serbian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin. Standard and literary Croatian is based on the central dialect, Shtokavian, more specifically on Eastern Herzegovinian, which is also the basis of standard Serbian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin. Colchester is an historical town and the largest settlement within the borough of Colchester in Essex, England.
At the time of the census in 2001 it had a population of 104,390. However, the population is rapidly increasing, and has been named as one of Britain's fastest growing towns. As the oldest recorded Roman town in Britain, Colchester claims to be the oldest town in Britain. It was for a time the capital of Roman Britain and also claims to have the United Kingdom's oldest recorded market.
Colchester is 60 miles (97 km) northeast of London. It is connected to the capital by the A12 road and the Great Eastern Main Line. It is seen as a popular town for commuters, and is less than 30 miles away from Stansted Airport.
Colchester is home to the University of Essex, Colchester Zoo, Colchester Castle and Colchester United Football Club. It has a Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament.
