Spanish Courses for Business in Warwickshire

Private individuals and professionals in companies all over the UK have profited from undertaking a Spanish Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. Averaging 15 years of experience, our native Spanish speaking qualified teachers construct your course so that your individual requirements are met, no matter what your level of experience. Our Spanish teachers receive excellent feedback from our clients. A profile, containing information about the Spanish teacher’s background and experience, is sent to each student before the Spanish lessons start.

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 Warwickshire, 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.

Our Spanish language courses are available on both a 1:1 and group basis, but the majority of our clients offer 1:1 Spanish training to their employees. However, with careful planning, group training can offer great value for money, provided there is a real commitment from the participants to get together at the same time every week. We strongly recommend you keep group numbers to 6 or less for these types of courses to be successful. Those learning Spanish in at Warwickshire on a 1:1 basis will naturally make much faster progress, as the course will be designed around their individual needs and focus on their particular 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.

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.

Warwickshire Spanish Course Schedules

The Spanish language courses in Warwickshire 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 Warwickshire. 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.

Warwickshire is a landlocked non-metropolitan county in the West Midlands region of England. The county town is Warwick, although the largest town is Nuneaton in the far north of the county. The shape of the administrative area Warwickshire differs considerably from that of the historic county. Commonly used abbreviations for the county are Warks or Warwicks. Warwickshire is perhaps best known for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare from Stratford-upon-Avon. Even today, road signs at the county boundary describe Warwickshire as "Shakespeare's County". The county has also produced other literary figures such as George Eliot (from Nuneaton), Rupert Brooke (from Rugby), and Michael Drayton from Hartshill. The poet Philip Larkin lived in Warwick (born in nearby Coventry), and Elizabeth Gaskell went to school in Barford and Stratford. Warwickshire is bounded to the north-west by the West Midlands metropolitan county and Staffordshire, by Leicestershire to the north-east, Northamptonshire to the east, Worcestershire to the west, Oxfordshire to the south and Gloucestershire to the south-west. The northern tip of the county is only 5 km (3 miles) from the Derbyshire border. An average-sized English county covering an area of almost 2,000 km2, it runs some 96 km (60 mi) north to south.
