Russian Courses for Business in HarrogatePlease click a title below for further information: All over the UK, private individuals and professionals in a variety of companies have gained benefits by taking part in a Russian Language Course from SIMON & SIMON. With an average of 15 years’ experience, the native Russian speakers of SIMON & SIMON’s qualified teaching team tailor each course for the specific requirements of the student, from absolute novices to those with some experience.
Our clients reliably give excellent feedback on our Russian teachers. Each of our students receives an information profile on the background and experience of their Russian teacher before they commence their Russian lessons. If the only experience you have of studying a language is from your time in school, you may not know that there has been a revolution in the teaching of modern languages so that it is both more fun and more worthwhile.
Your Russian teacher in Harrogate will be using the Communicative Approach, where your lessons will, with few exceptions, be conducted in Russian. You will see your progress from that very first lesson and will soon be confident enough to conduct business or talk socially in Russian. Russian courses from us can be run for groups or individuals. While many of our clients offer their employees Russian 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 Russian in Harrogate on a 1:1 basis will give quicker progress. Russian Course ManagementEvery SIMON & SIMON Russian language course is overseen by one of our highly experienced Account Managers, all of whom are multi-lingual.
At the start of your Russian language course we will send you a profile on your trainer, followed by a Course Plan and relevant course materials, and then a Progress Report after every 40 hours of training. You will also receive a copy of our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, featuring a superb prize draw and invaluable weblinks to language learning sources. Russian language courses have been run by SIMON & SIMON in many locations. Our global network of language trainers means that any major city in the UK Europe, and beyond can hold your Russian language course.
We can arrange your Russian language lessons for your own home, but many of our clients like to run them in their offices so as to minimise travel.
Residential full-time Russian language courses are also available. Our office can discuss available locations with you. Harrogate Russian Course SchedulesWe run Russian language courses in Harrogate 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 CoursesRussian 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 Harrogate 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.

SIMON & SIMON International
Breaking the Language Barrier Back to top of Russian Courses Harrogate 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. Harrogate (or Harrogate Spa) is a spa town in North Yorkshire, England. The town is a tourist destination and some of its visitor attractions include its spa waters, RHS Harlow Carr gardens, and Bettys Tea Rooms, that internationally sells Fat Rascals. The town serves as a location from which to explore the nearby Yorkshire Dales national park. Harrogate originated in the 17th century, with High Harrogate and Low Harrogate as two separate settlements. It lies adjacent to Knaresborough, with which it forms a single urban area, and is in the Nidd valley.
Harrogate spa water contains iron, sulphur and common salt. The town became known as 'The English Spa' in the Georgian Era, after its waters were first discovered in the sixteenth century. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries especially, these 'chalybeate' waters (i.e. containing iron) were a popular health treatment, and the influx of wealthy but sickly visitors contributed significantly to the wealth of the town.
Harrogate railway station and Harrogate bus station in the town centre provide transport connections. Leeds Bradford International Airport is 10 miles (16 km) south west of Harrogate. The main road through the town is the A61, connecting Harrogate to Leeds and Ripon. Harrogate is also connected to Wetherby and the A1, by the A661.
