German Courses for Business in Windsor

Many professionals in companies across the UK, as well as private individuals, have benefited from an German Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. We have a terrific team of qualified native-speaker German teachers, and with an average of 15 years' experience they will ensure you benefit from a course designed specifically around your needs, whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced learner with more specialised requirements. We consistently receive excellent feedback on our German tutors from our clients, and we send our students a profile on their German tutor prior to their German lessons commencing, with information on the tutor's background and experience.

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.

The German courses that we offer can be run as 1:1 or group sessions. While most of our clients use 1:1 German training for their employees, group sessions can be good value. Participants numbers should be kept to 6 or less, and they will need to commit to meeting every week. If you require faster progress, 1:1 German courses at Windsor are more suitable as the lessons and course can be tailored to the individual’s needs while focusing on their specific weaknesses and strengths.

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.

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.

Windsor German Course Schedules

The German language courses in Windsor 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 Windsor. 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.

Windsor is an affluent suburban town in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in Berkshire, England. It is widely known as the site of Windsor Castle. The town is situated 21 miles (34 km) west of Charing Cross. It is immediately south of the River Thames, which forms its boundary with Eton. Windsor and the surrounding areas contain some of the most expensive and desirable housing in the UK. The village of Old Windsor, just over two miles to the south, predates what is now called Windsor by around 300 years; in the past Windsor was formally referred to as New Windsor to distinguish the two. The early history of the site is unknown, although the site was almost certainly settled many years before the medieval castle was built. Histories of the town note that the combination of the navigable river and the strategically-placed hill point to the likelihood of continuous human settlement from early times. Evidence includes archaeological finds from Windsor, such as palaeolithic hand-axes, neolithic flint picks, Bronze Age swords and an Iron Age brooch. Although Roman remains are few, there is ample evidence of Anglo Saxon settlement in the area.
