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 Spanish lessons in Yorkshire will be carried out almost completely in Spanish. This is the Communicative Approach and by this method you will notice progress from the initial lesson.

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.

We can also arrange full-time residential Spanish language courses for you - just contact our office for information on available destinations.

Yorkshire Spanish Course Schedules

We run Spanish language courses in Yorkshire all year. Most of our students participate in no less than one 90-minute lesson per week, but many students will participate in more if work commitments allow. Weekend Courses can be facilitated, and our Spanish weekday courses run from Monday to Friday, from 8am to 8pm. Intensive Spanish language courses are also available and can be run at the client’s premises or a residential centre in the UK or overseas. These courses take place over 6 hours a day, Monday through Friday, for 30 hours per week.

Your Spanish language course’s content will be tailored to your experience and goals. Prior to the course, we will assess your Spanish language level and speak to you comprehensively about the areas and subjects you are interested in. Students may be complete novices who need everyday Spanish conversational skills or have more proficiency in Spanish and wish to be able to discuss various business topics such as banking or finance more fluently. Students may desire to bolster their Spanish for negotiations and meetings or focus on gaining better listening, pronunciation and comprehension skills. No matter what your needs, you can be confident that our very experienced Spanish language trainers will work with you on a Spanish language course that is tailored for you so that you quickly meet your goals.

Spanish Language Examination Courses

Spanish examination preparation for business or other examinations can also be assisted with. Our students boast a 95% rate of passing such examinations, proving the value of our policy of Spanish teachers in Yorkshire with experience above the average. SIMON & SIMON also organises registration and administration of Spanish examinations as well as issuing results certificates as a part of our service.

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.
