Slovak Courses for Business in Rutland

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.

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 Rutland 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.

We offer Slovak courses as group sessions or on a 1:1 basis/ Most of our clients offer their employees 1:1 Slovak training, however, if planned carefully, with participants numbering 6 or less who commit to meeting every week, group sessions can be good value for money. Those who learn Slovak at Rutland on a 1:1 basis will find that they progress more quickly, as the lessons can be specifically tailored for their individual needs, strengths and weaknesses.

Slovak Course Management

SIMON & SIMON’s Slovak language courses all have a specific Account Manager who oversee the course. Each of these managers is highly experienced and multi-lingual. At the start of your Slovak course, you will receive a profile on your trainer, course materials and a Course Plan. After every 40 hours of training you will receive a Progress Report. We will send you our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, which contains a wonderful prize draw as well as weblinks to valuable language learning resources.

Slovak language courses have been run by SIMON & SIMON in many locations. Our global network of language trainers means that any major city in the UK Europe, and beyond can hold your Slovak language course. We can arrange your Slovak language lessons for your own home, but many of our clients like to run them in their offices so as to minimise travel. Residential full-time Slovak language courses are also available. Our office can discuss available locations with you.

Rutland Slovak Course Schedules

Our Slovak language courses in Rutland 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 Courses

Our 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 Rutland 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.

Slovak is an Indo-European language that belongs to the West Slavic languages (together with Czech, Polish, Silesian, Kashubian, and Sorbian). Slovak is spoken in Slovakia (by 5 million people), also in the United States (1,200,000), the Czech Republic (350,000), Serbia (60,000), Ireland (30,000), Romania (22,000), Poland (20,000), Canada (20,000), Hungary (11,800), Croatia (5,000), Australia, Austria, Bulgaria and Ukraine.

Rutland is a landlocked county in central England, bounded on the west and north by Leicestershire, northeast by Lincolnshire, and southeast by Peterborough (a unitary authority ceremonially in Cambridgeshire) and Northamptonshire. Its greatest length north to south is only 18 miles (29.0 km), greatest breadth east to west, 17 miles (27.4 km). It is the smallest (in terms of population) normal unitary authority in mainland England (only the City of London is smaller in terms of area), and is 348th of the 354 districts in terms of population. It is the smallest historic English county, leading to the adoption of the Latin motto Multum In Parvo or "much in little" by the county council in 1950. Among modern ceremonial counties the Isle of Wight, City of London and City of Bristol are all smaller. The former County of London, in existence 1889 to 1965, also had a smaller area. The only towns in Rutland are Oakham, the county town, and Uppingham. At the centre of the county is the large artificial reservoir, Rutland Water, with a similar surface area to Windermere. It is an important nature reserve serving as an overwintering site for wildfowl and a breeding site for ospreys. The town of Stamford is just over the border in a protruding part of Lincolnshire. Rutland's older cottages are built from limestone or ironstone and many have roofs of Collyweston stone slate or thatch.
