Croatian Courses for Business in Leicester

Both professionals and non-professionals alike have seen great benefits from a SIMON & SIMON Croatian Language Course. SIMON & SIMON’s team of qualified Croatian teachers is made up of native speakers who average 15 years of experience. These teachers will make sure that a course is tailored for your specific needs so that you will benefit regardless of your language proficiency. Feedback from clients on our Croatian tutors is consistently highly positive. Our students are sent a profile containing information on their specific teacher’s experience and background before the start of their Croatian Lessons.

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 Croatian lessons in Leicester will be carried out almost completely in Croatian. 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 Croatian to communicate in various business and social situations.

We offer Croatian courses as group sessions or on a 1:1 basis/ Most of our clients offer their employees 1:1 Croatian training, however, if planned carefully, with participants numbering 6 or less who commit to meeting every week, group sessions can be good value for money. Those who learn Croatian at Leicester on a 1:1 basis will find that they progress more quickly, as the lessons can be specifically tailored for their individual needs, strengths and weaknesses.

Croatian Course Management

Every SIMON & SIMON Croatian language course is overseen by one of our highly experienced Account Managers, all of whom are multi-lingual. At the start of your Croatian 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 Croatian language courses have been arranged for clients in various locations. We have a global network of trainers and wherever you are, we will be able to organise a Croatian language course for you, not only in the UK but in almost any of the major cities in Europe and beyond. Most of our Croatian courses are run at the offices of our clients so that you do not have to travel, but we are happy to arrange Croatian training sessions for you in your home. Full-time Croatian courses can be arranged in a residential setting for you. Our office has information on the locations we offer.

Leicester Croatian Course Schedules

We run our Croatian language courses in Leicester 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 Croatian courses on request. Our Croatian programs commence from 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday. Intensive 30 hour per week Croatian 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 Croatian course will be customised for you. Before you start the course we will assess your level of Croatian and discuss in detail what you would like to focus on. You may desire simply to gain everyday Croatian skills from the level of a complete beginner, or you may have more experience in Croatian 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 Croatian for use in negotiations and meetings. Whatever your goals and needs, our highly experienced Croatian language trainers will tailor your Croatian course so that your goals will be met quickly.

Croatian Language Examination Courses

If you are taking a Croatian 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 Croatian teachers in Leicester whose experience is above average. SIMON & SIMON can also register you for your Croatian 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.

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.

Leicester is a city and unitary authority area in the East Midlands area of England. It is also the county town of Leicestershire. The city lies on the River Soar and at the edge of the National Forest. In 2006, the population of the Leicester unitary authority was estimated at 289,700, the largest in the East Midlands, whilst 441,213 people lived in the wider Leicester Urban Area. Eurostat's Larger Urban Zone listed the population of the area at 772,400 people as of 2004. Leicester is the 10th most populous settlement in the United Kingdom using the 2001 census definitions and the urban area is the fifteenth largest conurbation in the UK, the second largest in the region behind the Nottingham Urban Area. Ancient Roman pavements and baths remain in Leicester from its early settlement as Ratae Corieltauvorum, a Roman military outpost in a region inhabited by the Celtic Corieltauvi tribe. Following the demise of Roman society the early medieval Ratae Corieltauvorum is shrouded in obscurity, but when the settlement was captured by the Danes it became one of five fortified towns important to the Danelaw. The name "Leicester" is thought to derive from the words castra of the "Ligore", meaning a camp on the River Legro, an early name for the River Soar. Leicester appears in the Domesday Book as "Ledecestre". Leicester continued to grow throughout the Early Modern period as a market town, although it was the Industrial Revolution that facilitated an unparalleled process of unplanned urbanisation in the area.
