Slovak Courses for Business in Essex

Private individuals and professionals in companies all over the UK have profited from undertaking a Slovak Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. Averaging 15 years of experience, our native Slovak speaking qualified teachers construct your course so that your individual requirements are met, no matter what your level of experience. Our Slovak teachers receive excellent feedback from our clients. A profile, containing information about the Slovak teacher’s background and experience, is sent to each student before the Slovak lessons start.

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

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 Essex 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 has a highly experienced, multi-lingual Account Manager who oversees it. When your Slovak 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.

SIMON & SIMON has arranged Slovak language courses for clients in numerous locations, and with our global network of language trainers we can organise a Slovak language course for you wherever you are - in almost any major city in the UK, Europe and beyond. The vast majority of our Slovak lessons take place at our clients' offices, removing the need for you to travel, but Slovak lessons can take place in your home if that is more convenient. We can also arrange full-time residential Slovak language courses for you - just contact our office for information on available destinations.

Essex Slovak Course Schedules

We run our Slovak language courses in Essex all through the year. Many of our students, if work commitments allow, will attend more than one session weekly, and the vast majority take part in at least one 90-minute lesson weekly. We also arrange weekend Slovak courses on request. Our Slovak programs commence from 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday. Intensive 30 hour per week Slovak language courses, held on clients’ premises or at residential centres in the UK or abroad, are also available on a 6 hours per day basis, Monday through Friday.

Whatever your personal level of experience and future goals, your Slovak course will be customised for you. Before you start the course we will assess your level of Slovak and discuss in detail what you would like to focus on. You may desire simply to gain everyday Slovak skills from the level of a complete beginner, or you may have more experience in Slovak and want to improve your ability to discuss banking, finance or marketing. You may want to develop improved pronunciation and comprehension skills or improve your Slovak for use in negotiations and meetings. Whatever your goals and needs, our highly experienced Slovak language trainers will tailor your Slovak course so that your goals will be met quickly.

Slovak Language Examination Courses

If you are taking a Slovak examination, for business or other reasons, we are happy to help you with your preparations. We are very proud of the 95% pass rate of our students in language examinations. We believe this highlights the value of working with Slovak teachers in Essex whose experience is above average. SIMON & SIMON can also register you for your Slovak examination, administer the examination and issue you your 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.

Essex is a ceremonial and non-metropolitan county in the East region of England, and one of the home counties. It is located to the northeast of Greater London and is one of the most populous counties in England. Essex County Council is the principal local authority for much of the county, sharing functions with twelve district councils. The county town is Chelmsford. The southern Essex boroughs of Thurrock and Southend-on-Sea are governed separately as unitary authorities. It was established in antiquity and formed the eastern portion of the Kingdom of Essex. Sections of the county closer to London are part of the Metropolitan Green Belt, which prohibits development. It is the location of the regionally significant Lakeside Shopping Centre and London Stansted Airport; and the new towns of Basildon and Harlow. The name Essex originates in the Anglo-Saxon period of the Early Middle Ages and has its root in the Old English Ēastseaxe (i.e. the "East Saxons"), the eastern kingdom of the Saxons.
