Spanish Courses for Business in Basildon

Many professionals in companies across the UK, as well as private individuals, have benefited from an Spanish Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. We have a terrific team of qualified native-speaker Spanish 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 Spanish tutors from our clients, and we send our students a profile on their Spanish tutor prior to their Spanish lessons commencing, with information on the tutor's background and experience.

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 Spanish course in Basildon, you will make progress from the very first lesson, as almost everything will be done in Spanish. This is known as the Communicative Approach, and means that your confidence and ability will soon grow so that you can use Spanish to communicate in social and business settings.

The Spanish courses that we offer can be run as 1:1 or group sessions. While most of our clients use 1:1 Spanish training for their employees, group sessions can be good value. Participants numbers should be kept to 6 or less, and they will need to commit to meeting every week. If you require faster progress, 1:1 Spanish courses at Basildon are more suitable as the lessons and course can be tailored to the individual’s needs while focusing on their specific weaknesses and strengths.

Spanish Course Management

One of our highly experienced, multilingual Account managers oversees each SIMON & SIMON Spanish language course. On starting your Spanish course you will receive various materials including a profile on your trainer, a Course Plan and course materials and a Progress Report on every 40 hours of your training. Breaking the Language Barrier, our quarterly newsletter, which contains weblinks to various language learning sources and a prize draw, will also be sent to you.

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

Basildon Spanish Course Schedules

Our Spanish language courses in Basildon run throughout the year. The majority of our students attend at least one 90-minute session per week and many students will try to do more than one session depending on work commitments. Our Spanish teachers are available Monday - Friday from 8am - 8pm, and Weekend Courses can also be arranged on request. Our intensive Spanish language courses run for 30 hours per week, (6 hours per day Monday - Friday), and take place on our clients' premises or at a residential centre here in the UK or abroad.

The content of your Spanish language course will reflect your level and your particular objectives. We will assess your Spanish language level before your course, and discuss with you in detail the subject areas you wish to focus on. You may be a complete beginner looking for day-to-day Spanish survival language skills, or a more proficient Spanish speaker needing to improve your fluency when discussing areas such as law, banking, finance, insurance, sales, travel, marketing, and administration. You may want to focus on improving your Spanish for meetings, discussions and negotiations, or to concentrate on improving your listening comprehension, pronunciation and telephone skills. Whatever your needs, working with one of our highly experienced Spanish language trainers you can be confident that the content of your Spanish language course will be tailored just for you and that you will soon be meeting your objectives.

Spanish Language Examination Courses

We can also help prepare you for Spanish examinations of a business or general nature. We are proud to say our students have a 95% pass rate in language examinations, and their success further underlines the value we place on working with Spanish teachers in Basildon with above average experience. As part of our service, SIMON & SIMON will also organise the registration and administration of Spanish examinations and the issuing of result certificates.

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.

Spanish is a Romance language in the Ibero-Romance group that evolved from several languages and dialects in the central-north of Iberia during the 9th century and gradually spread with the expansion of the Kingdom of Castile into central and southern Iberia during the later Medieval period. In 1999, there were 358 million people speaking Spanish as a native language and a total of 417 million speakers worldwide. As of 2010 these figures are up to 400 and 500 million people respectively. Spanish is the second most natively spoken language in the world, after Mandarin Chinese. Mexico contains the largest population of Spanish speakers. Spanish is one of the six official languages of the United Nations.

Basildon is a town located in the Basildon District of the county of Essex, England. It lies 25.6 miles (41 km) east of central London and 11 miles (18 km) south of the county town of Chelmsford. Nearby towns include Billericay to the north, Wickford northeast, and South Benfleet to the east. It was designated as a new town after World War II in 1948 to accommodate the London population overspill, created from the conglomeration of four small villages, namely Pitsea, Laindon, Basildon and Vange (the new town took the name Basildon as it was the most central of the four villages). The local government district of Basildon, formed in 1974, encapsulates a larger area than the town itself; the two neighbouring towns of Billericay and Wickford, as well as rural villages and smaller settlements set among the surrounding countryside, fall within its borders.
