German Courses for Business in Rotherham

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.

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 German teacher will conduct your lessons almost entirely in German means that progress is made from your very first lesson. Soon, you will have such confidence that using German in a social or business setting will be no problem.

We offer German courses as group sessions or on a 1:1 basis/ Most of our clients offer their employees 1:1 German 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 German at Rotherham 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.

German Course Management

Each of SIMON & SIMON’s German languages courses is the responsibility of a multi-lingual, very experienced Account Manager. When you start your German course, you will receive your trainer’s profile. Thereafter we will send you a Course Plan, materials for the course and, after each 40 hours of training, a Progress Report. Our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, will also reach you, and contains a prize draw as well as the weblinks of language 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.

Rotherham German Course Schedules

Our German language courses in Rotherham take place throughout the year. Many of our students try to attend more than one weekly lesson if work commitments allow, and most will attend at least one session of 90-minutes duration per week. If you would like a Weekend Course, one can be arranged. Our German daytime courses run from 8am through to 8pm, Monday - Friday. We also provide Intensive German language courses on clients’ premises or in residential centres both in the UK and abroad. These courses run for 30 hours of the week, 6 hours a day from Monday to Friday.

The German language course that you undertake will be customised for your German level and personal goals. Before you start the course, we will speak to you about your desired focus and assess you German level. You may have little or no experience of German and only want basic conversational skills or you may be more proficient and desire more fluency with which to discuss business. You may want to raise your German skills for use in meetings and negotiations or rather develop increased comprehension and pronunciation skills. Whatever your objectives, our German language trainers are highly experienced, and you can be confident that your personalised German course will help you to meet your goals quickly.

German Language Examination Courses

SIMON & SIMON also assists in preparation for German examinations, whether for business or personal qualification. We believe that our 95% pass rate for language examinations is a reflection of our policy of working with German teachers in Rotherham who possess above average experience. Registration for and administration of German examinations, along with the issuing of results certificates are all 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.

Rotherham is a town in South Yorkshire, England. It lies on the River Don, at its confluence with the River Rother, between Sheffield and Doncaster. Rotherham, at 6 miles (10 km) from Sheffield City Centre, is surrounded by several smaller settlements, which together form the wider Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham. According to the 2001 Census the population of Rotherham is 117,262. There were Iron Age and Roman settlements in the area covered by the town but Rotherham was not founded until the early Middle Ages. It established itself as a key Saxon market town, lying on a Roman road near a forded part of the River Don. By the late Saxon period, Rotherham was at the centre of a large parish on both sides of the River Don. Following the Norman Conquest, an absentee lord, Nigel Fossard, was put in place. His successors the De Vescis rarely visited the town and did not build a castle or contribute to the town's civic life, but maintained a Friday market and a fair. In the mid 13th century, John de Vesci and Ralph de Tili gave all their possessions in Rotherham to Rufford Abbey. The monks collected tithes from the town and gained rights to an additional market day on Monday and to extend the annual fair from two to three days.
