Slovak Courses for Business in Bedfordshire

Both professionals and non-professionals alike have seen great benefits from a SIMON & SIMON Slovak Language Course. SIMON & SIMON’s team of qualified Slovak teachers is made up of native speakers who average 15 years of experience. These teachers will make sure that a course is tailored for your specific needs so that you will benefit regardless of your language proficiency. Feedback from clients on our Slovak tutors is consistently highly positive. Our students are sent a profile containing information on their specific teacher’s experience and background before the start of their Slovak Lessons.

New teaching approaches have revolutionised how modern language training is now approached. This training, with more fun and a more worthwhile experience means that it’s a far cry from what you may remember of studying languages in school. When you start a Slovak course in Bedfordshire, you will make progress from the very first lesson, as almost everything will be done in Slovak. This is known as the Communicative Approach, and means that your confidence and ability will soon grow so that you can use Slovak to communicate in social and business settings.

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

Slovak Course Management

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

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

Bedfordshire Slovak Course Schedules

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

Slovak Language Examination Courses

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

Slovak is an Indo-European language that belongs to the West Slavic languages (together with Czech, Polish, Silesian, Kashubian, and Sorbian).

Bedfordshire is a ceremonial county of historic origin in England that forms part of the East of England region. It borders Cambridgeshire to the north-east, Northamptonshire to the north, Buckinghamshire to the west and Hertfordshire to the south-east. The highest elevation point is 243 metres (797 ft) on Dunstable Downs in the Chilterns. As part of a 2002 marketing campaign, the plant conservation charity Plantlife chose the Bee Orchid as the county flower. The traditional nickname for people from Bedfordshire is "Bedfordshire Bulldogs" or "Clangers", this last deriving from a local dish comprising a suet crust dumpling filled with meat or jam or both. The first recorded use of the name was in 1011 as "Bedanfordscir," meaning the shire or county of Bedford, which itself means "Beda's ford" (river crossing). Bedfordshire was historically divided into the nine hundreds: Barford, Biggleswade, Clifton, Flitt, Manshead, Redbournestoke, Stodden, Willey, Wixamtree, along with the liberty and borough of Bedford. There have been several minor changes to the county boundary; for example, in 1897 Kensworth and part of Caddington were transferred from Hertfordshire to Bedfordshire.
