Polish Courses for Business in Herefordshire

Many professionals in companies across the UK, as well as private individuals, have benefited from an Polish Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. We have a terrific team of qualified native-speaker Polish 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 Polish tutors from our clients, and we send our students a profile on their Polish tutor prior to their Polish lessons commencing, with information on the tutor's background and experience.

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 Polish lesson in Herefordshire almost entirely in Polish - 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 Polish in a variety of social and business situations.

The Polish courses that we offer can be run as 1:1 or group sessions. While most of our clients use 1:1 Polish 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 Polish courses at Herefordshire are more suitable as the lessons and course can be tailored to the individual’s needs while focusing on their specific weaknesses and strengths.

Polish Course Management

Each of SIMON & SIMON’s Polish languages courses is the responsibility of a multi-lingual, very experienced Account Manager. When you start your Polish 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 Polish language courses can be arranged for almost any major European city, or even further abroad. SIMON & SIMON have run Polish language courses for clients in many diverse locations. Polish 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 Polish language courses that we offer, contact our office.

Herefordshire Polish Course Schedules

Our Polish language courses in Herefordshire go on all year. Some of our students attend more than one 90-minute weekly session if work circumstances allow, and most will attend at least one per week. Weekend Courses in Polish can be arranged on request. Our Polish courses are available 12 hours a day, from 8am to 8pm Monday through Friday. 30 hour per week intensive Polish courses can be held on clients’ premises or in residential centres in the UK or abroad. These courses take 6 hours per day, Monday through Friday.

We will tailor your Polish language course for your specific aims and level of knowledge. Before you start your Polish language course we will assess your goals and level of Polish experience. Your desire to learn Polish may be simply to develop basic skills, or you may have some level of proficiency and wish to increase your ability to use Polish to discuss business. You may want to develop your language skills so that you can use Polish in negotiations and meetings or improve your pronunciation and telephone skills. No matter what goals you have, you can be confident of our Polish trainers experience and that your Polish language course is tailored to your needs and your goals will be quickly met.

Polish Language Examination Courses

Our students’ pass rate for Polish examinations is at 95%, and we are happy to help with the preparations for any such examination. Our high pass rate shows the value of working with Polish teachers in Herefordshire who have a higher level of experience than average. SIMON & SIMON also arrange registration for Polish examinations as well as administering the examination and issuing the results.

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.

Herefordshire is a historic and ceremonial county in the West Midlands region of England. It also forms a unitary district known as the County of Herefordshire. It borders the English ceremonial counties of Shropshire to the north, Worcestershire to the east, Gloucestershire to the south-east, and the Welsh preserved counties of Gwent to the south-west and Powys to the west. Hereford is a cathedral city and is the county town; with a population of approximately 55,700 inhabitants it is also the largest settlement. The county is one of the most rural and sparsely populated in England, with a population density of 82/km² (212/sq mi). The land use is predominantly agricultural and the county is well known for its fruit and cider production, and the Hereford cattle breed. Herefordshire is one of the 39 historic counties of England. In 1974 it was merged with neighbouring Worcestershire to form the relatively short-lived Hereford and Worcester administrative county. Within this, Herefordshire was covered by the local government districts of South Herefordshire, Hereford, and part of Malvern Hills and Leominster districts. The current ceremonial county and unitary district have broadly the same borders as the pre-1974 historic county.
