Slovak Courses for Business in NorthamptonshirePlease click a title below for further information: Designed and customised for the individual student’s needs, SIMON & SIMON’s Slovak courses, taught by a team of qualified native Slovak 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 Slovak tutors that we receive from our clients is consistently excellent. Prior to the start of your Slovak course, you will be sent a profile on your specific Slovak teacher’s experience and background. Maybe your only knowledge of studying languages is what you remember from school. Modern language teaching has recently changed to be much more entertaining and rewarding.
Your Slovak lessons in Northamptonshire will be carried out almost completely in Slovak. This is the Communicative Approach and by this method you will notice progress from the initial lesson. You will soon feel confident and able to use Slovak to communicate in various business and social situations. Both 1:1 and group formats are available for our Slovak language courses. While most of our clients offer 1:1 Slovak training, the group format can offer great value for money. If you want groups to be successful, the members must commit to the weekly meetings and we recommend keeping the number of participants below 7.
Progress is faster for those who learn Slovak in Northamptonshire on a 1:1 basis as the lessons are individually tailored for their particular needs, strengths and weaknesses. Slovak Course ManagementEvery 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. Northamptonshire Slovak Course SchedulesThe Slovak language courses in Northamptonshire that we run go on through the year. Each week, most of our students will attend at least one of our 90-minute lessons, but many will do more.
We can easily arrange Weekend Courses for you. Slovak courses run from Monday to Friday, any time from 8am to 8pm.
Intensive Slovak language courses can be arranged in residential centres abroad or in the UK, or on clients’ premises for 30 hours per week, 6 hours a day Monday to Friday. Before you start your Slovak language course we will assess your level of Slovak and speak to you about your aims so that your Slovak language course can be customised for you. You may have never been exposed to Slovak before and wish to develop basic survival skills, or you may have some experience and wish to be able to speak more fluently in Slovak when discussing business. You may want to further your ability to use Slovak in negotiations and meetings or better your comprehension and pronunciation abilities. Whatever goals you may have, our experienced Slovak language trainers will tailor your Slovak course so that your goals can be quickly met. Slovak Language Examination CoursesWe are happy to help in your preparation for any Slovak examinations. Our students have a 95% pass rate and we think that their success shows the value of our policy of working with above-average experienced Slovak teachers in Northamptonshire.
Issuing of results certificates, registration for Slovak examinations and administration of such exams is also provided by SIMON & SIMON. 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.
