Russian Courses for Business in Doncaster

Private individuals and professionals in companies all over the UK have profited from undertaking a Russian Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. Averaging 15 years of experience, our native Russian speaking qualified teachers construct your course so that your individual requirements are met, no matter what your level of experience. Our Russian teachers receive excellent feedback from our clients. A profile, containing information about the Russian teacher’s background and experience, is sent to each student before the Russian lessons start.

The way that modern languages are taught has gone through a revolution in the past few years. If you have only learned languages at school you will find that the experience now is vastly more fun and worthwhile. The Communicative Approach means that your Russian lessons in Doncaster will be almost entirely through the medium of Russian. You will feel that you are making real progress, even in the first lesson, and will soon communicate in Russian with confidence, in a range of social and business environments.

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

Russian Course Management

Every SIMON & SIMON Russian language course has a highly experienced, multi-lingual Account Manager who oversees it. When your Russian 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 Russian language courses have been run for clients in many different locations. With a global network of language trainers a Russian language course can be held in almost any major city throughout Europe and elsewhere. We can arrange Russian 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 Russian language courses are also an option. For a list of locations, please contact our office.

Doncaster Russian Course Schedules

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

Russian Language Examination Courses

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

Russian is a Slavic language used primarily in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. It is an unofficial but widely spoken language in Ukraine, Latvia and Estonia and, to a lesser extent, the other countries that were once constituent republics of the USSR. It is the most geographically widespread language of Eurasia, the most widely spoken of the Slavic languages, and the largest native language in Europe. Russian belongs to the family of Indo-European languages and is one of three (or four including Rusyn) living members of the East Slavic languages. Written examples of Old East Slavonic are attested from the 10th century onwards. The language is one of the six official languages of the United Nations.

Doncaster is a town in South Yorkshire, England, and the principal settlement of the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster. The town is about 20 miles (32 km) from Sheffield and is popularly referred to as "Donny". Doncaster has an international airport, and in recent years its centre has undergone regeneration including the development of an Education City campus, currently the largest education investment of its kind in the UK. Doncaster has also recently extended the Frenchgate Centre, a shopping centre and transport interchange. According to the 2001 census, the urban sub-area of Doncaster had a population of 67,977. Together with Bentley and Armthorpe, it forms an urban area with a population of 127,851. The wider metropolitan borough has a population of around 286,866. In 2010, Doncaster was named the UK's ninth "most musical" city by PRS for Music. Doncaster is located at 53°31′N 1°8′W ― the site of a Roman fort which was built in the 1st century AD at the site of a crossing across the River Don. The Roman empirical command of Ninius called this fort "Caer Daun". Later the commands of Antoninus Pius and Notitia Dignitatum called this fort Danum, from which the town derives the Don part of its name; caster a Saxon word corrupted from the Latin original Castra, meaning a military camp. Doncaster was home to the Roman Crispinian horse garrison. The cavalry took its name from Crispus, son of Constantine the Great.
