Turkish Courses for Business in Devon

SIMON & SIMON’s team of qualified native Turkish speaking teachers average 15 years of experience. Professionals and private individuals from all over the UK have benefited from SIMON & SIMON’s Turkish language courses, all of which are tailor-made to reflect each student's level of experience. We consistently receive outstanding feedback from our clients about our Turkish tutors. Each student is sent a specific profile on the experience and background of their Turkish tutor before they start their course of lessons.

If you have only studied languages before at school you will find that teaching approaches to modern language training have changed enormously in recent years - it's now a lot more fun and a far more rewarding experience! Your teacher will conduct your Turkish lesson in Devon almost entirely in Turkish - a method known as the Communicative Approach - and you will find yourself making progress from the very first lesson and soon growing in the confidence to communicate in Turkish in a variety of social and business situations.

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

Turkish Course Management

Every SIMON & SIMON Turkish language course is overseen by one of our highly experienced Account Managers, all of whom are multi-lingual. At the start of your Turkish 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 Turkish language courses have been arranged for clients in various locations. We have a global network of trainers and wherever you are, we will be able to organise a Turkish language course for you, not only in the UK but in almost any of the major cities in Europe and beyond. Most of our Turkish courses are run at the offices of our clients so that you do not have to travel, but we are happy to arrange Turkish training sessions for you in your home. Full-time Turkish courses can be arranged in a residential setting for you. Our office has information on the locations we offer.

Devon Turkish Course Schedules

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

Turkish Language Examination Courses

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

Turkish is spoken as a native language by over 83 million people worldwide, making it the most commonly spoken of the Turkic languages. Its speakers are located predominantly in Turkey and Northern Cyprus with smaller groups in Iraq, Greece, Bulgaria, the Republic of Macedonia, Kosovo, Albania and other parts of Eastern Europe. Turkish is also spoken by several million immigrants in Western Europe, particularly in Germany.

Devon is a large county in southwestern England. The county is sometimes referred to as Devonshire, although the term is rarely used inside the county itself and often indicates a traditional or historical context, such as The Devonshire Association, which was formed in 1862. The county shares borders with Cornwall to the west and Dorset and Somerset to the east. Its southern coast abuts the English Channel and its northern coast the Bristol Channel. The name "Devon" derives from the kingdom of Dumnonia, which was home to the tribe of Celtic people who inhabited this area of the southwestern peninsula of Britain at the time of the Roman invasion in AD 43, Dumnonii―possibly meaning 'Deep Valley Dwellers' or 'Worshippers of the god Dumnonos'. Devon is the fourth largest of the English counties and has a population of 1,141,600. The county town is the cathedral city of Exeter and the county contains two independent unitary authorities: the port city of Plymouth and the Torbay conurbation of seaside resorts, in addition to Devon County Council itself. Plymouth is also the largest city in Devon. Much of the county is rural (including national park) land, with a low population density by British standards. It contains Dartmoor 954 km2 (368 square miles), the largest open space in southern England. The county is home to part of England's only natural UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Dorset and East Devon Coast, known as the Jurassic Coast for its geology and geographical features.
