German Courses for Business in WarwickshirePlease click a title below for further information: 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. 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 Warwickshire 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. Both 1:1 and group formats are available for our German language courses. While most of our clients offer 1:1 German 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 German in Warwickshire on a 1:1 basis as the lessons are individually tailored for their particular needs, strengths and weaknesses. German Course ManagementOne of our highly experienced, multilingual Account managers oversees each SIMON & SIMON German language course.
On starting your German 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. The German language courses of SIMON & SIMON have been run in numerous locations. As we have a global network of language trainers your German language course can be arranged in major cities across Europe and further afield.
Most of our clients arrange for their German lessons to be run in their offices so that there is less need for travel, but we can also run German lessons in your home.
We also run residential full-time German language courses in a variety of locations which our office will be happy to inform you of. Warwickshire German Course SchedulesWe run German language courses in Warwickshire 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 German weekday courses run from Monday to Friday, from 8am to 8pm.
Intensive German 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 German language course’s content will be tailored to your experience and goals. Prior to the course, we will assess your German language level and speak to you comprehensively about the areas and subjects you are interested in.
Students may be complete novices who need everyday German conversational skills or have more proficiency in German and wish to be able to discuss various business topics such as banking or finance more fluently.
Students may desire to bolster their German 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 German language trainers will work with you on a German language course that is tailored for you so that you quickly meet your goals. German Language Examination CoursesGerman 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 German teachers in Warwickshire with experience above the average.
SIMON & SIMON also organises registration and administration of German 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.

SIMON & SIMON International
Breaking the Language Barrier Back to top of German Courses Warwickshire 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. Warwickshire is a landlocked non-metropolitan county in the West Midlands region of England. The county town is Warwick, although the largest town is Nuneaton in the far north of the county. The shape of the administrative area Warwickshire differs considerably from that of the historic county. Commonly used abbreviations for the county are Warks or Warwicks.
Warwickshire is perhaps best known for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare from Stratford-upon-Avon. Even today, road signs at the county boundary describe Warwickshire as "Shakespeare's County". The county has also produced other literary figures such as George Eliot (from Nuneaton), Rupert Brooke (from Rugby), and Michael Drayton from Hartshill. The poet Philip Larkin lived in Warwick (born in nearby Coventry), and Elizabeth Gaskell went to school in Barford and Stratford.
Warwickshire is bounded to the north-west by the West Midlands metropolitan county and Staffordshire, by Leicestershire to the north-east, Northamptonshire to the east, Worcestershire to the west, Oxfordshire to the south and Gloucestershire to the south-west. The northern tip of the county is only 5 km (3 miles) from the Derbyshire border. An average-sized English county covering an area of almost 2,000 km2, it runs some 96 km (60 mi) north to south.
