Spanish Courses for Business in Peterborough

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.

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 Peterborough, 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.

We offer Spanish courses as group sessions or on a 1:1 basis/ Most of our clients offer their employees 1:1 Spanish 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 Spanish at Peterborough 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.

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.

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

Peterborough Spanish Course Schedules

We run our Spanish language courses in Peterborough 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 Spanish courses on request. Our Spanish programs commence from 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday. Intensive 30 hour per week Spanish 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 Spanish course will be customised for you. Before you start the course we will assess your level of Spanish and discuss in detail what you would like to focus on. You may desire simply to gain everyday Spanish skills from the level of a complete beginner, or you may have more experience in Spanish 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 Spanish for use in negotiations and meetings. Whatever your goals and needs, our highly experienced Spanish language trainers will tailor your Spanish course so that your goals will be met quickly.

Spanish Language Examination Courses

If you are taking a Spanish 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 Spanish teachers in Peterborough whose experience is above average. SIMON & SIMON can also register you for your Spanish 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.

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.

Peterborough is a cathedral city and unitary authority area in the East of England, with an estimated population of 164,000 in June 2007. For ceremonial purposes it is in the county of Cambridgeshire. Situated 75 miles (121 km) north of London, the city stands athwart the River Nene, which flows into the North Sea approximately 30 miles (48 km) to the north-east. The railway station is an important stop on the East Coast Main Line railway. The local topography is flat and low-lying, and in some places lies below sea level. The area known as the Fens falls to the east of Peterborough. The City of Peterborough includes the outlying military installation of RAF Wittering, and as a unitary authority it borders Northamptonshire and Rutland to the west, Lincolnshire to the north, and Cambridgeshire to the south and east. Human settlement in the area dates back to before the Bronze Age, as can be seen at the Flag Fen archaeological site to the east of the current city centre. This site also shows evidence of Roman occupation. The Anglo-Saxon period saw the establishment of a monastery, then known as Medeshamstede, which later became Peterborough Cathedral. The population grew rapidly following the arrival of the railways in the nineteenth century, and Peterborough became an industrial centre, particularly noted for its brick manufacture. Following the Second World War, growth was limited until designation as a New Town in the 1960s.
