Spanish Courses for Business in East Sussex

All over the UK, private individuals and professionals in a variety of companies have gained benefits by taking part in a Spanish Language Course from SIMON & SIMON. With an average of 15 years’ experience, the native Spanish speakers of SIMON & SIMON’s qualified teaching team tailor each course for the specific requirements of the student, from absolute novices to those with some experience. Our clients reliably give excellent feedback on our Spanish teachers. Each of our students receives an information profile on the background and experience of their Spanish teacher before they commence their Spanish lessons.

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 Spanish teacher will conduct your lessons almost entirely in Spanish means that progress is made from your very first lesson. Soon, you will have such confidence that using Spanish in a social or business setting will be no problem.

Our Spanish 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 Spanish lessons at East Sussex mean that you will have your individual needs, weaknesses and strengths catered for, so that your progress is quicker.

Spanish Course Management

A multi-lingual Account Manager with extensive experience is responsible for each SIMON & SIMON Spanish language course. A profile on your trainer, Course Plan and course materials will be sent to you when you start your Spanish course. After every 40 hours of training you will receive a Progress Report. We will also send you Breaking the Language Barrier, our quarterly newsletter, which contains a wonderful prize draw and valuable language learning resource weblinks.

We have a global network of language trainers so our Spanish language courses can be arranged for almost any major European city, or even further abroad. SIMON & SIMON have run Spanish language courses for clients in many diverse locations. Spanish 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. For a list of the locations of the full-time residential Spanish language courses that we offer, contact our office.

East Sussex Spanish Course Schedules

The Spanish language courses in East Sussex 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. Spanish courses run from Monday to Friday, any time from 8am to 8pm. Intensive Spanish 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 Spanish language course we will assess your level of Spanish and speak to you about your aims so that your Spanish language course can be customised for you. You may have never been exposed to Spanish before and wish to develop basic survival skills, or you may have some experience and wish to be able to speak more fluently in Spanish when discussing business. You may want to further your ability to use Spanish in negotiations and meetings or better your comprehension and pronunciation abilities. Whatever goals you may have, our experienced Spanish language trainers will tailor your Spanish course so that your goals can be quickly met.

Spanish Language Examination Courses

We are happy to help in your preparation for any Spanish 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 Spanish teachers in East Sussex. Issuing of results certificates, registration for Spanish 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.

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.

East Sussex is a county in South East England. It is bordered by the counties of Kent, Surrey and West Sussex, and to the south by the English Channel. East Sussex is part of the ancient kingdom of the South Saxons, who established themselves there in the fifth century AD, after the departure of the Romans, although the area had been populated for many thousands of years before then. Archaeological remains are plentiful, especially in the upland areas. The area's position on the coast has also meant that there were many invaders, including the Romans and later the Normans. Earlier industries have included fishing, iron-making, and the wool trade, all of which have declined, or lost completely. The ancient kingdom of Sussex has had two separate county administrations since the 12th century, with the county town of the eastern division being Lewes. This situation was formalised by Parliament in 1865, and the two parts were given distinct elected county councils in 1889 under the Local Government Act 1888. In East Sussex there were also three self-administered county boroughs: Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings.
