Serbian Courses for Business in Norwich

Designed and customised for the individual student’s needs, SIMON & SIMON’s Serbian courses, taught by a team of qualified native Serbian speakers who average 15 years of experience, have already benefited professionals and non-professionals across the UK. Courses cater for all levels of experience. The feedback on our Serbian tutors that we receive from our clients is consistently excellent. Prior to the start of your Serbian course, you will be sent a profile on your specific Serbian teacher’s experience and background.

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 Serbian lesson in Norwich almost entirely in Serbian - 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 Serbian in a variety of social and business situations.

Our Serbian language courses are available on both a 1:1 and group basis, but the majority of our clients offer 1:1 Serbian 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 Serbian in at Norwich 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.

Serbian Course Management

Every SIMON & SIMON Serbian language course has a highly experienced, multi-lingual Account Manager who oversees it. When your Serbian 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.

The Serbian language courses of SIMON & SIMON have been run in numerous locations. As we have a global network of language trainers your Serbian language course can be arranged in major cities across Europe and further afield. Most of our clients arrange for their Serbian lessons to be run in their offices so that there is less need for travel, but we can also run Serbian lessons in your home. We also run residential full-time Serbian language courses in a variety of locations which our office will be happy to inform you of.

Norwich Serbian Course Schedules

Our Serbian language courses in Norwich go on all year. Some of our students attend more than one 90-minute weekly session if work circumstances allow, and most will attend at least one per week. Weekend Courses in Serbian can be arranged on request. Our Serbian courses are available 12 hours a day, from 8am to 8pm Monday through Friday. 30 hour per week intensive Serbian courses can be held on clients’ premises or in residential centres in the UK or abroad. These courses take 6 hours per day, Monday through Friday.

We will tailor your Serbian language course for your specific aims and level of knowledge. Before you start your Serbian language course we will assess your goals and level of Serbian experience. Your desire to learn Serbian may be simply to develop basic skills, or you may have some level of proficiency and wish to increase your ability to use Serbian to discuss business. You may want to develop your language skills so that you can use Serbian in negotiations and meetings or improve your pronunciation and telephone skills. No matter what goals you have, you can be confident of our Serbian trainers experience and that your Serbian language course is tailored to your needs and your goals will be quickly met.

Serbian Language Examination Courses

Our students’ pass rate for Serbian examinations is at 95%, and we are happy to help with the preparations for any such examination. Our high pass rate shows the value of working with Serbian teachers in Norwich who have a higher level of experience than average. SIMON & SIMON also arrange registration for Serbian examinations as well as administering the examination and issuing the 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.

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.
