Croatian Courses for Business in York

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.

If you have only studied languages before at school you will find that teaching approaches to modern language training have changed enormously in recent years - it's now a lot more fun and a far more rewarding experience! Your teacher will conduct your Croatian lesson in York almost entirely in Croatian - a method known as the Communicative Approach - and you will find yourself making progress from the very first lesson and soon growing in the confidence to communicate in Croatian in a variety of social and business situations.

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

Croatian Course Management

One of our highly experienced, multilingual Account managers oversees each SIMON & SIMON Croatian language course. On starting your Croatian course you will receive various materials including a profile on your trainer, a Course Plan and course materials and a Progress Report on every 40 hours of your training. Breaking the Language Barrier, our quarterly newsletter, which contains weblinks to various language learning sources and a prize draw, will also be sent to you.

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.

York Croatian Course Schedules

We run Croatian language courses in York all year. Most of our students participate in no less than one 90-minute lesson per week, but many students will participate in more if work commitments allow. Weekend Courses can be facilitated, and our Croatian weekday courses run from Monday to Friday, from 8am to 8pm. Intensive Croatian language courses are also available and can be run at the client’s premises or a residential centre in the UK or overseas. These courses take place over 6 hours a day, Monday through Friday, for 30 hours per week.

Your Croatian language course’s content will be tailored to your experience and goals. Prior to the course, we will assess your Croatian language level and speak to you comprehensively about the areas and subjects you are interested in. Students may be complete novices who need everyday Croatian conversational skills or have more proficiency in Croatian and wish to be able to discuss various business topics such as banking or finance more fluently. Students may desire to bolster their Croatian for negotiations and meetings or focus on gaining better listening, pronunciation and comprehension skills. No matter what your needs, you can be confident that our very experienced Croatian language trainers will work with you on a Croatian language course that is tailored for you so that you quickly meet your goals.

Croatian Language Examination Courses

Croatian examination preparation for business or other examinations can also be assisted with. Our students boast a 95% rate of passing such examinations, proving the value of our policy of Croatian teachers in York with experience above the average. SIMON & SIMON also organises registration and administration of Croatian examinations as well as issuing results certificates as a part of our service.

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.

York is a walled city, situated at the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and Foss in North Yorkshire, England. The city has a rich heritage and has provided the backdrop to major political events throughout much of its two millennia of existence. The city was founded by the Romans in 71 AD. They called it Eboracum, a name perhaps derived from one used by the British tribes who inhabited the area. The Romans made it the capital of their Province of Britannia Inferior. While the Roman colonia and fortress were located on high ground, by 400 the town itself was victim to periodic flooding from the rivers Ouse and Foss and lay abandoned. In the early 5th century the area was settled by Angles, who called the town Eoforwic. Reclamation of the flooded parts of the town were initiated in the 7th century under King Edwin. The city came to be the episcopal, and later, royal centre of the Kingdom of Northumbria.
