Polish Courses for Business in Oxford

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.

New teaching approaches have revolutionised how modern language training is now approached. This training, with more fun and a more worthwhile experience means that it’s a far cry from what you may remember of studying languages in school. When you start a Polish course in Oxford, you will make progress from the very first lesson, as almost everything will be done in Polish. This is known as the Communicative Approach, and means that your confidence and ability will soon grow so that you can use Polish to communicate in social and business settings.

Our Polish courses are usually offered by our clients as 1:1 training for their employees. Group sessions, however, are also available and can be excellent value for money. Planning is required so that participants all meet at the same time each week, and we recommend that numbers are kept to 6 or less. 1:1 Polish lessons at Oxford mean that you will have your individual needs, weaknesses and strengths catered for, so that your progress is quicker.

Polish Course Management

SIMON & SIMON’s Polish language courses all have a specific Account Manager who oversee the course. Each of these managers is highly experienced and multi-lingual. At the start of your Polish course, you will receive a profile on your trainer, course materials and a Course Plan. After every 40 hours of training you will receive a Progress Report. We will send you our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, which contains a wonderful prize draw as well as weblinks to valuable language learning resources.

SIMON & SIMON has arranged Polish language courses for clients in numerous locations, and with our global network of language trainers we can organise a Polish language course for you wherever you are - in almost any major city in the UK, Europe and beyond. The vast majority of our Polish lessons take place at our clients' offices, removing the need for you to travel, but Polish lessons can take place in your home if that is more convenient. We can also arrange full-time residential Polish language courses for you - just contact our office for information on available destinations.

Oxford Polish Course Schedules

We run our Polish language courses in Oxford all through the year. Many of our students, if work commitments allow, will attend more than one session weekly, and the vast majority take part in at least one 90-minute lesson weekly. We also arrange weekend Polish courses on request. Our Polish programs commence from 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday. Intensive 30 hour per week Polish language courses, held on clients’ premises or at residential centres in the UK or abroad, are also available on a 6 hours per day basis, Monday through Friday.

Whatever your personal level of experience and future goals, your Polish course will be customised for you. Before you start the course we will assess your level of Polish and discuss in detail what you would like to focus on. You may desire simply to gain everyday Polish skills from the level of a complete beginner, or you may have more experience in Polish and want to improve your ability to discuss banking, finance or marketing. You may want to develop improved pronunciation and comprehension skills or improve your Polish for use in negotiations and meetings. Whatever your goals and needs, our highly experienced Polish language trainers will tailor your Polish course so that your goals will be met quickly.

Polish Language Examination Courses

If you are taking a Polish examination, for business or other reasons, we are happy to help you with your preparations. We are very proud of the 95% pass rate of our students in language examinations. We believe this highlights the value of working with Polish teachers in Oxford whose experience is above average. SIMON & SIMON can also register you for your Polish examination, administer the examination and issue you your 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.

Oxford is a city, and the county town of Oxfordshire, in South East England. The city, made prominent by its medieval university, has a population of just under 165,000, with 151,000 living within the district boundary. The rivers Cherwell and Thames run through Oxford and meet south of the city centre. For a distance of some 10 miles (16 km) along the river, in the vicinity of Oxford, the Thames is known as The Isis. Buildings in Oxford demonstrate an example of every British architectural period since the arrival of the Saxons, including the iconic, mid-18th century Radcliffe Camera. Oxford is known as the "city of dreaming spires", a term coined by poet Matthew Arnold in reference to the harmonious architecture of Oxford's university buildings. The University of Oxford is the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Oxford was first occupied in Saxon times, and was initially known as "Oxenaforda", meaning "Ford of the Ox"; fords being more commonly used than bridges at that time. It began with the foundation of St Frideswide's nunnery in the 8th century, and was first mentioned in written records in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for the year 912. In the 10th century Oxford became an important military frontier town between the kingdoms of Mercia and Wessex and was on several occasions raided by Danes. St Frideswide is the patron saint of both the city and university.
