Slovak Courses for Business in BuckinghamPlease click a title below for further information: Many professionals in companies across the UK, as well as private individuals, have benefited from an Slovak Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. We have a terrific team of qualified native-speaker Slovak 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 Slovak tutors from our clients, and we send our students a profile on their Slovak tutor prior to their Slovak lessons commencing, with information on the tutor's background and experience. Modern language teaching is now approached much differently to how you might remember learning languages in school. The experience is now much more fun and rewarding.
The Communicative Approach, where your Slovak teacher will conduct your lessons almost entirely in Slovak means that progress is made from your very first lesson. Soon, you will have such confidence that using Slovak in a social or business setting will be no problem. Our Slovak 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 Slovak lessons at Buckingham mean that you will have your individual needs, weaknesses and strengths catered for, so that your progress is quicker. Slovak Course ManagementEach of SIMON & SIMON’s Slovak languages courses is the responsibility of a multi-lingual, very experienced Account Manager.
When you start your Slovak course, you will receive your trainer’s profile. Thereafter we will send you a Course Plan, materials for the course and, after each 40 hours of training, a Progress Report. Our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, will also reach you, and contains a prize draw as well as the weblinks of language learning resources. We have a global network of language trainers so our Slovak language courses can be arranged for almost any major European city, or even further abroad. SIMON & SIMON have run Slovak language courses for clients in many diverse locations.
Slovak language courses can be run in your home for your convenience, but many of our clients prefer to run them in their offices so as to minimise travel.

Buckingham Slovak Course SchedulesOur Slovak language courses in Buckingham 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 Slovak can be arranged on request. Our Slovak courses are available 12 hours a day, from 8am to 8pm Monday through Friday.
30 hour per week intensive Slovak 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 Slovak language course for your specific aims and level of knowledge. Before you start your Slovak language course we will assess your goals and level of Slovak experience.
Your desire to learn Slovak may be simply to develop basic skills, or you may have some level of proficiency and wish to increase your ability to use Slovak to discuss business.
You may want to develop your language skills so that you can use Slovak in negotiations and meetings or improve your pronunciation and telephone skills.
No matter what goals you have, you can be confident of our Slovak trainers experience and that your Slovak language course is tailored to your needs and your goals will be quickly met. Slovak Language Examination CoursesOur students’ pass rate for Slovak 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 Slovak teachers in Buckingham who have a higher level of experience than average.
SIMON & SIMON also arrange registration for Slovak 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.
