Thai Courses for Business in GloucesterPlease click a title below for further information: Private individuals and professionals in companies all over the UK have profited from undertaking a Thai Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. Averaging 15 years of experience, our native Thai speaking qualified teachers construct your course so that your individual requirements are met, no matter what your level of experience.
Our Thai teachers receive excellent feedback from our clients. A profile, containing information about the Thai teacher’s background and experience, is sent to each student before the Thai lessons start.
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 Thai lessons in Gloucester will be carried out almost completely in Thai. This is the Communicative Approach and by this method you will notice progress from the initial lesson. You will soon feel confident and able to use Thai to communicate in various business and social situations. The Thai courses that we offer can be run as 1:1 or group sessions. While most of our clients use 1:1 Thai 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 Thai courses at Gloucester are more suitable as the lessons and course can be tailored to the individual’s needs while focusing on their specific weaknesses and strengths. Thai Course ManagementEvery SIMON & SIMON Thai language course is overseen by one of our highly experienced Account Managers, all of whom are multi-lingual.
At the start of your Thai language course we will send you a profile on your trainer, followed by a Course Plan and relevant course materials, and then a Progress Report after every 40 hours of training. You will also receive a copy of our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, featuring a superb prize draw and invaluable weblinks to language learning sources. SIMON & SIMON has arranged Thai language courses for clients in numerous locations, and with our global network of language trainers we can organise a Thai language course for you wherever you are - in almost any major city in the UK, Europe and beyond.
The vast majority of our Thai lessons take place at our clients' offices, removing the need for you to travel, but Thai lessons can take place in your home if that is more convenient.
We can also arrange full-time residential Thai language courses for you - just contact our office for information on available destinations. Gloucester Thai Course SchedulesThe Thai language courses in Gloucester 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. Thai courses run from Monday to Friday, any time from 8am to 8pm.
Intensive Thai 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 Thai language course we will assess your level of Thai and speak to you about your aims so that your Thai language course can be customised for you. You may have never been exposed to Thai before and wish to develop basic survival skills, or you may have some experience and wish to be able to speak more fluently in Thai when discussing business. You may want to further your ability to use Thai in negotiations and meetings or better your comprehension and pronunciation abilities. Whatever goals you may have, our experienced Thai language trainers will tailor your Thai course so that your goals can be quickly met. Thai Language Examination CoursesWe are happy to help in your preparation for any Thai 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 Thai teachers in Gloucester.
Issuing of results certificates, registration for Thai 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.

SIMON & SIMON International
Breaking the Language Barrier Back to top of Thai Courses Gloucester Thai is the national and official language of Thailand and the native language of the Thai people, Thailand's dominant ethnic group. Thai is a member of the Tai group of the Tai-Kadai language family. Historical linguists have been unable to definitively link the Tai-Kadai languages to any other language family. Some words in Thai are borrowed from Pali, Sanskrit and Old Khmer. It is a tonal and analytic language. Thai also has a complex orthography and relational markers. Thai is mutually intelligible with Lao, whereas the Isaan dialect is almost the same as Lao. Gloucester is a city, district and county town of Gloucestershire in the South West region of England. Gloucester lies close to the Welsh border, and on the River Severn, approximately 32 miles (51 km) north-east of Bristol, and 45 miles (72 km) south-southwest of Birmingham.
Gloucester was founded in AD 48 by the Romans as Glevum, and was granted its first charter in 1155 by King Henry II. Economically, the city is dominated by the service industries, and has a strong financial and business sector, being home to the bank Cheltenham & Gloucester and historically was prominent in the aerospace industry.
The existence of a British settlement at Gloucester (Caer Glow, Gleawecastre, Gleucestre) is not confirmed by any direct evidence, but Gloucester was the Roman municipality of Colonia Nervia Glevensium, or Glevum, founded in the reign of Nerva. Parts of the walls can be traced, and many remains and coins have been found, though inscriptions are scarce.
