Romanian Courses for Business in Durham

Both professionals and non-professionals alike have seen great benefits from a SIMON & SIMON Romanian Language Course. SIMON & SIMON’s team of qualified Romanian teachers is made up of native speakers who average 15 years of experience. These teachers will make sure that a course is tailored for your specific needs so that you will benefit regardless of your language proficiency. Feedback from clients on our Romanian tutors is consistently highly positive. Our students are sent a profile containing information on their specific teacher’s experience and background before the start of their Romanian Lessons.

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 Romanian lesson in Durham almost entirely in Romanian - 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 Romanian in a variety of social and business situations.

Our Romanian language courses are available on both a 1:1 and group basis, but the majority of our clients offer 1:1 Romanian training to their employees. However, with careful planning, group training can offer great value for money, provided there is a real commitment from the participants to get together at the same time every week. We strongly recommend you keep group numbers to 6 or less for these types of courses to be successful. Those learning Romanian in at Durham on a 1:1 basis will naturally make much faster progress, as the course will be designed around their individual needs and focus on their particular strengths and weaknesses.

Romanian Course Management

Every SIMON & SIMON Romanian language course has a highly experienced, multi-lingual Account Manager who oversees it. When your Romanian 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’s Romanian language courses have been run for clients in many different locations. With a global network of language trainers a Romanian language course can be held in almost any major city throughout Europe and elsewhere. We can arrange Romanian language courses in your home or, as many of our clients prefer, in your offices to remove the need for you to travel. Full-time residential Romanian language courses are also an option. For a list of locations, please contact our office.

Durham Romanian Course Schedules

Our Romanian language courses in Durham take place throughout the year. Many of our students try to attend more than one weekly lesson if work commitments allow, and most will attend at least one session of 90-minutes duration per week. If you would like a Weekend Course, one can be arranged. Our Romanian daytime courses run from 8am through to 8pm, Monday - Friday. We also provide Intensive Romanian language courses on clients’ premises or in residential centres both in the UK and abroad. These courses run for 30 hours of the week, 6 hours a day from Monday to Friday.

The Romanian language course that you undertake will be customised for your Romanian level and personal goals. Before you start the course, we will speak to you about your desired focus and assess you Romanian level. You may have little or no experience of Romanian and only want basic conversational skills or you may be more proficient and desire more fluency with which to discuss business. You may want to raise your Romanian skills for use in meetings and negotiations or rather develop increased comprehension and pronunciation skills. Whatever your objectives, our Romanian language trainers are highly experienced, and you can be confident that your personalised Romanian course will help you to meet your goals quickly.

Romanian Language Examination Courses

SIMON & SIMON also assists in preparation for Romanian examinations, whether for business or personal qualification. We believe that our 95% pass rate for language examinations is a reflection of our policy of working with Romanian teachers in Durham who possess above average experience. Registration for and administration of Romanian examinations, along with the issuing of results certificates are all 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.

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.
