Serbian Courses for Business in Stoke-on-Trent

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 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 Stoke-on-Trent 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.

Serbian courses from us can be run for groups or individuals. While many of our clients offer their employees Serbian 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 Serbian in Stoke-on-Trent on a 1:1 basis will give quicker progress.

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 Serbian language courses have been arranged for clients in various locations. We have a global network of trainers and wherever you are, we will be able to organise a Serbian language course for you, not only in the UK but in almost any of the major cities in Europe and beyond. Most of our Serbian courses are run at the offices of our clients so that you do not have to travel, but we are happy to arrange Serbian training sessions for you in your home. Full-time Serbian courses can be arranged in a residential setting for you. Our office has information on the locations we offer.

Stoke-on-Trent Serbian Course Schedules

We run Serbian language courses in Stoke-on-Trent 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 Stoke-on-Trent 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.

Stoke-on-Trent is a city in Staffordshire, England, which forms a linear conurbation almost 12 miles (19 km) long, with an area of 36 square miles (93 km2). Together with the Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme Stoke forms The Potteries Urban Area. This, together with the rural Staffordshire Moorlands area, forms North Staffordshire, which in 2001, had a population of 457,165. The conurbation continues to be polycentric, having been formed by the federation of six originally separate towns and numerous villages in the early-20th century. The settlement from which the federated town (not a city until 1925) took its name was Stoke-upon-Trent, because this was where the administration (and chief mainline railway station) was located. After the union, Hanley emerged as the primary commercial centre in the city, despite the efforts of its rival, Burslem. The three other component towns are Tunstall, Longton, and Fenton. Stoke-on-Trent is considered to be the home of the pottery industry in England and is commonly known as The Potteries. Formerly a primarily industrial conurbation, it is now a centre for service industries and distribution centres.
