Czech Courses for Business in BelfastPlease click a title below for further information: Private individuals and professionals in companies all over the UK have profited from undertaking a Czech Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. Averaging 15 years of experience, our native Czech speaking qualified teachers construct your course so that your individual requirements are met, no matter what your level of experience.
Our Czech teachers receive excellent feedback from our clients. A profile, containing information about the Czech teacher’s background and experience, is sent to each student before the Czech lessons start.
Modern language teaching is now approached much differently to how you might remember learning languages in school. The experience is now much more fun and rewarding.
The Communicative Approach, where your Czech teacher will conduct your lessons almost entirely in Czech means that progress is made from your very first lesson. Soon, you will have such confidence that using Czech in a social or business setting will be no problem. Czech courses from us can be run for groups or individuals. While many of our clients offer their employees Czech 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 Czech in Belfast on a 1:1 basis will give quicker progress. Czech Course ManagementSIMON & SIMON’s Czech language courses all have a specific Account Manager who oversee the course. Each of these managers is highly experienced and multi-lingual.
At the start of your Czech course, you will receive a profile on your trainer, course materials and a Course Plan. After every 40 hours of training you will receive a Progress Report. We will send you our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, which contains a wonderful prize draw as well as weblinks to valuable language learning resources. SIMON & SIMON’s Czech language courses have been run for clients in many different locations. With a global network of language trainers a Czech language course can be held in almost any major city throughout Europe and elsewhere.
We can arrange Czech language courses in your home or, as many of our clients prefer, in your offices to remove the need for you to travel.
Full-time residential Czech language courses are also an option. For a list of locations, please contact our office.
Belfast Czech Course SchedulesOur Czech language courses in Belfast go on all year. Some of our students attend more than one 90-minute weekly session if work circumstances allow, and most will attend at least one per week.
Weekend Courses in Czech can be arranged on request. Our Czech courses are available 12 hours a day, from 8am to 8pm Monday through Friday.
30 hour per week intensive Czech courses can be held on clients’ premises or in residential centres in the UK or abroad. These courses take 6 hours per day, Monday through Friday. We will tailor your Czech language course for your specific aims and level of knowledge. Before you start your Czech language course we will assess your goals and level of Czech experience.
Your desire to learn Czech may be simply to develop basic skills, or you may have some level of proficiency and wish to increase your ability to use Czech to discuss business.
You may want to develop your language skills so that you can use Czech in negotiations and meetings or improve your pronunciation and telephone skills.
No matter what goals you have, you can be confident of our Czech trainers experience and that your Czech language course is tailored to your needs and your goals will be quickly met. Czech Language Examination CoursesOur students’ pass rate for Czech examinations is at 95%, and we are happy to help with the preparations for any such examination. Our high pass rate shows the value of working with Czech teachers in Belfast who have a higher level of experience than average.
SIMON & SIMON also arrange registration for Czech examinations as well as administering the examination and issuing the 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.

SIMON & SIMON International
Breaking the Language Barrier Back to top of Czech Courses Belfast Czech is a West Slavic language with about 12 million native speakers; it is the majority language in the Czech Republic and spoken by Czechs worldwide. The language was known as Bohemian in English until the late 19th century. Czech is similar to and mutually intelligible with Slovak and, to a considerably lesser extent, to Polish and Sorbian. Belfast is the capital of and largest city in Northern Ireland, as well as the second largest city in Ireland. It is the seat of devolved government and legislative Northern Ireland Assembly. The city forms part of the largest urban area in Northern Ireland, and the main settlement in the province of Ulster. The city of Belfast has a population of 267,500 and lies at the heart of the Belfast urban area, which has a population of 483,418. The Larger Urban Zone, as defined by the European Union, has a total population 641,638. Belfast was granted city status in 1888.
Historically, Belfast has been a centre for the Irish linen industry (earning the nickname "Linenopolis"), tobacco production, rope-making and shipbuilding: the city's main shipbuilders, Harland and Wolff, which built the ill-fated RMS Titanic, propelled Belfast on to the global stage in the early 20th century as the largest and most productive shipyard in the world. Belfast played a key role in the Industrial Revolution, establishing its place as a global industrial centre until the latter half of the 20th century.
