Polish Courses for Business in Durham

Private individuals and professionals in companies all over the UK have profited from undertaking a Polish Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. Averaging 15 years of experience, our native Polish speaking qualified teachers construct your course so that your individual requirements are met, no matter what your level of experience. Our Polish teachers receive excellent feedback from our clients. A profile, containing information about the Polish teacher’s background and experience, is sent to each student before the Polish 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 Polish teacher will conduct your lessons almost entirely in Polish means that progress is made from your very first lesson. Soon, you will have such confidence that using Polish in a social or business setting will be no problem.

Polish courses from us can be run for groups or individuals. While many of our clients offer their employees Polish courses on a 1:1 basis, group sessions can be excellent value. Group sessions do require planning and commitment from the participants and we recommend that no more than 6 people participate in a group. As 1:1 lessons can be tailored to an individual’s needs, strengths and weaknesses, learning Polish in Durham on a 1:1 basis will give quicker progress.

Polish Course Management

A multi-lingual Account Manager with extensive experience is responsible for each SIMON & SIMON Polish language course. A profile on your trainer, Course Plan and course materials will be sent to you when you start your Polish course. After every 40 hours of training you will receive a Progress Report. We will also send you Breaking the Language Barrier, our quarterly newsletter, which contains a wonderful prize draw and valuable language learning resource weblinks.

The Polish language courses of SIMON & SIMON have been run in numerous locations. As we have a global network of language trainers your Polish language course can be arranged in major cities across Europe and further afield. Most of our clients arrange for their Polish lessons to be run in their offices so that there is less need for travel, but we can also run Polish lessons in your home. We also run residential full-time Polish language courses in a variety of locations which our office will be happy to inform you of.

Durham Polish Course Schedules

We run Polish language courses in Durham 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 Polish weekday courses run from Monday to Friday, from 8am to 8pm. Intensive Polish 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 Polish language course’s content will be tailored to your experience and goals. Prior to the course, we will assess your Polish language level and speak to you comprehensively about the areas and subjects you are interested in. Students may be complete novices who need everyday Polish conversational skills or have more proficiency in Polish and wish to be able to discuss various business topics such as banking or finance more fluently. Students may desire to bolster their Polish 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 Polish language trainers will work with you on a Polish language course that is tailored for you so that you quickly meet your goals.

Polish Language Examination Courses

Polish 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 Polish teachers in Durham with experience above the average. SIMON & SIMON also organises registration and administration of Polish 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.

Polish describes a Lechitic subgroup of West Slavic languages in Central Europe and the official language of Poland. Its written standard is the Polish alphabet which corresponds to the Latin alphabet with several additions. Polish-speakers use the language in a uniform manner throughout most of Poland. Despite the pressure of non-Polish administrations in Poland, who have often attempted to suppress the Polish language, a rich literature has developed over the centuries and the language is currently the largest in terms of speakers of the West Slavic group. It is also the third most widely spoken Slavic language, after Russian and Ukrainian.

Durham is a city in the North East of England. It is within the County Durham local government district, and is the county town of the larger ceremonial county. It lies to the south of Newcastle Upon Tyne, Chester-le-Street and Sunderland and to the north of Darlington. Durham is well known for its Norman Cathedral and 11th-century castle, and is home to Durham University. HM Prison Durham is also located close to the city centre. Archeological evidence suggests a history of settlement in the area since roughly 2000 BC. The present city can clearly be traced back to AD 995, when a group of monks from Lindisfarne chose the strategic high peninsula as a place to settle with the body of Saint Cuthbert, that had previously lain in Chester-le-Street, founding a church there. Local legend states that the city was founded in A.D. 995 by divine intervention. The 12th-century chronicler, Symeon of Durham, recounts that after wandering in the north, Saint Cuthbert’s bier miraculously came to a halt at the hill of Warden Law and, despite the effort of the congregation, would not move. Aldhun, Bishop of Chester-le-Street and leader of the order, decreed a holy fast of three days, accompanied by prayers to the saint. Saint Bede recounts that during this fast, Saint Cuthbert appeared to the monk Eadmer with instructions that the coffin should be taken to Dun Holm.
