Serbian Courses for Business in Northumberland

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

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 Serbian teacher in Northumberland will be using the Communicative Approach, where your lessons will, with few exceptions, be conducted in Serbian. You will see your progress from that very first lesson and will soon be confident enough to conduct business or talk socially in Serbian.

Our Serbian 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 Serbian lessons at Northumberland mean that you will have your individual needs, weaknesses and strengths catered for, so that your progress is quicker.

Serbian Course Management

Every SIMON & SIMON Serbian language course is overseen by one of our highly experienced Account Managers, all of whom are multi-lingual. At the start of your Serbian 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.

SIMON & SIMON’s Serbian language courses have been run for clients in many different locations. With a global network of language trainers a Serbian language course can be held in almost any major city throughout Europe and elsewhere. We can arrange Serbian 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 Serbian language courses are also an option. For a list of locations, please contact our office.

Northumberland Serbian Course Schedules

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

Serbian Language Examination Courses

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

Serbian is a form of Serbo-Croatian spoken by Serbs in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia and neighbouring countries. There are two principal Serbian dialects, Shtokavian and Torlakian. The literary and standard language is based on Shtokavian, which is also the basis of Standard Croatian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin. Serbian is standardized around Sumadija-Vojvodina and Eastern Herzegovinian subdialects of Shtokavian. Apart from Shtokavian, the Torlak dialect, transitional to Macedonian and Bulgarian, is spoken in southeast Serbia.
