German Courses for Business in Norwich

All over the UK, private individuals and professionals in a variety of companies have gained benefits by taking part in a German Language Course from SIMON & SIMON. With an average of 15 years’ experience, the native German speakers of SIMON & SIMON’s qualified teaching team tailor each course for the specific requirements of the student, from absolute novices to those with some experience. Our clients reliably give excellent feedback on our German teachers. Each of our students receives an information profile on the background and experience of their German teacher before they commence their German 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 German lesson in Norwich almost entirely in German - 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 German in a variety of social and business situations.

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 Norwich mean that you will have your individual needs, weaknesses and strengths catered for, so that your progress is quicker.

German Course Management

SIMON & SIMON’s German 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 German 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 German 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 German language course for you, not only in the UK but in almost any of the major cities in Europe and beyond. Most of our German courses are run at the offices of our clients so that you do not have to travel, but we are happy to arrange German training sessions for you in your home. Full-time German courses can be arranged in a residential setting for you. Our office has information on the locations we offer.

Norwich German Course Schedules

The German language courses in Norwich 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 Norwich. 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.
