German Courses for Business in Cheshire

Private individuals and professionals in companies all over the UK have profited from undertaking a German Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. Averaging 15 years of experience, our native German speaking qualified teachers construct your course so that your individual requirements are met, no matter what your level of experience. Our German teachers receive excellent feedback from our clients. A profile, containing information about the German teacher’s background and experience, is sent to each student before the German lessons start.

The way that modern languages are taught has gone through a revolution in the past few years. If you have only learned languages at school you will find that the experience now is vastly more fun and worthwhile. The Communicative Approach means that your German lessons in Cheshire will be almost entirely through the medium of German. You will feel that you are making real progress, even in the first lesson, and will soon communicate in German with confidence, in a range of social and business environments.

Our German courses are usually offered by our clients as 1:1 training for their employees. Group sessions, however, are also available and can be excellent value for money. Planning is required so that participants all meet at the same time each week, and we recommend that numbers are kept to 6 or less. 1:1 German lessons at Cheshire mean that you will have your individual needs, weaknesses and strengths catered for, so that your progress is quicker.

German Course Management

Every SIMON & SIMON German language course has a highly experienced, multi-lingual Account Manager who oversees it. When your German course starts you will be sent a profile on your trainer, materials for your course and a Course Plan as well as a Progress Report for every 40 hours of training. Breaking the Language Barrier, our quarterly newsletter that you will also receive, contains a prize draw as well as weblinks to a number of learning resources.

We have a global network of language trainers so our German language courses can be arranged for almost any major European city, or even further abroad. SIMON & SIMON have run German language courses for clients in many diverse locations. German language courses can be run in your home for your convenience, but many of our clients prefer to run them in their offices so as to minimise travel. For a list of the locations of the full-time residential German language courses that we offer, contact our office.

Cheshire German Course Schedules

The German language courses in Cheshire 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. German courses run from Monday to Friday, any time from 8am to 8pm. Intensive German 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 German language course we will assess your level of German and speak to you about your aims so that your German language course can be customised for you. You may have never been exposed to German before and wish to develop basic survival skills, or you may have some experience and wish to be able to speak more fluently in German when discussing business. You may want to further your ability to use German in negotiations and meetings or better your comprehension and pronunciation abilities. Whatever goals you may have, our experienced German language trainers will tailor your German course so that your goals can be quickly met.

German Language Examination Courses

We are happy to help in your preparation for any German 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 German teachers in Cheshire. Issuing of results certificates, registration for German 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.

German is a West Germanic language, thus related to and classified alongside English and Dutch. It is one of the world's major languages and the most widely spoken first language in the European Union. Globally, German is spoken by approximately 120 million native speakers and also by about 80 million non-native speakers. Standard German is widely taught in schools, universities and Goethe Institutes worldwide. German is primarily spoken in Germany (where it is the first language for more than 95% of the population), Austria (89%) and Switzerland (65%). German is also spoken by the majority of the populations of Luxembourg and Liechtenstein. Other European German-speaking communities are found in Northern Italy (in the Province of Bolzano-Bozen and in some municipalities in other provinces), in the East Cantons of Belgium, in the French regions of Alsace and Lorraine, and in some border villages of the former South Jutland County (in German, Nordschleswig, in Danish, Sønderjylland) of Denmark.

Cheshire also known, archaically, as the County of Chester) is a ceremonial county and former principality in North West England. The traditional county town is the city of Chester, although Cheshire's largest town is Warrington. Other major towns include Congleton, Crewe, Ellesmere Port, Widnes, Runcorn, Macclesfield, Winsford, Northwich, and Wilmslow. The county is bordered by Merseyside and Greater Manchester to the north, Derbyshire to the east, Staffordshire and Shropshire to the south, and Flintshire and Wrexham in Wales to the west. Cheshire's area is 2,343 square kilometres (905 sq mi) and its population is just over a million. Apart from the large towns along the River Mersey and the historic city of Chester, it is mostly rural, with a number of small towns and villages that support an agricultural industry. It is historically famous for the production of Cheshire cheese, salt, bulk chemicals, and woven silk. Cheshire's name was originally derived from an early name for Chester, and was first recorded as Legeceasterscir in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, meaning the shire of the city of legions.
