Vietnamese Courses for Business in Bedfordshire

Both professionals and non-professionals alike have seen great benefits from a SIMON & SIMON Vietnamese Language Course. SIMON & SIMON’s team of qualified Vietnamese teachers is made up of native speakers who average 15 years of experience. These teachers will make sure that a course is tailored for your specific needs so that you will benefit regardless of your language proficiency. Feedback from clients on our Vietnamese tutors is consistently highly positive. Our students are sent a profile containing information on their specific teacher’s experience and background before the start of their Vietnamese Lessons.

Modern language teaching is now approached much differently to how you might remember learning languages in school. The experience is now much more fun and rewarding. The Communicative Approach, where your Vietnamese teacher will conduct your lessons almost entirely in Vietnamese means that progress is made from your very first lesson. Soon, you will have such confidence that using Vietnamese in a social or business setting will be no problem.

Vietnamese courses from us can be run for groups or individuals. While many of our clients offer their employees Vietnamese courses on a 1:1 basis, group sessions can be excellent value. Group sessions do require planning and commitment from the participants and we recommend that no more than 6 people participate in a group. As 1:1 lessons can be tailored to an individual’s needs, strengths and weaknesses, learning Vietnamese in Bedfordshire on a 1:1 basis will give quicker progress.

Vietnamese Course Management

SIMON & SIMON’s Vietnamese language courses all have a specific Account Manager who oversee the course. Each of these managers is highly experienced and multi-lingual. At the start of your Vietnamese course, you will receive a profile on your trainer, course materials and a Course Plan. After every 40 hours of training you will receive a Progress Report. We will send you our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, which contains a wonderful prize draw as well as weblinks to valuable language learning resources.

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

Bedfordshire Vietnamese Course Schedules

The Vietnamese language courses in Bedfordshire 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. Vietnamese courses run from Monday to Friday, any time from 8am to 8pm. Intensive Vietnamese 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 Vietnamese language course we will assess your level of Vietnamese and speak to you about your aims so that your Vietnamese language course can be customised for you. You may have never been exposed to Vietnamese before and wish to develop basic survival skills, or you may have some experience and wish to be able to speak more fluently in Vietnamese when discussing business. You may want to further your ability to use Vietnamese in negotiations and meetings or better your comprehension and pronunciation abilities. Whatever goals you may have, our experienced Vietnamese language trainers will tailor your Vietnamese course so that your goals can be quickly met.

Vietnamese Language Examination Courses

We are happy to help in your preparation for any Vietnamese 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 Vietnamese teachers in Bedfordshire. Issuing of results certificates, registration for Vietnamese 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.

Vietnamese is the national and official language of Vietnam. It is the mother tongue of 86% of Vietnam's population, and of about three million overseas Vietnamese. It is also spoken as a second language by many ethnic minorities of Vietnam. It is part of the Austro-Asiatic language family, of which it has the most speakers by a significant margin (several times larger than the other Austroasiatic languages put together). Much of Vietnamese vocabulary has been borrowed from Chinese, most notably Cantonese, especially words that denote abstract ideas (in the same way European languages borrow from Latin and Greek), and it was formerly written using the Chinese writing system, albeit in a modified format and was given vernacular pronunciation.

Bedfordshire is a ceremonial county of historic origin in England that forms part of the East of England region. It borders Cambridgeshire to the north-east, Northamptonshire to the north, Buckinghamshire to the west and Hertfordshire to the south-east. The highest elevation point is 243 metres (797 ft) on Dunstable Downs in the Chilterns. As part of a 2002 marketing campaign, the plant conservation charity Plantlife chose the Bee Orchid as the county flower. The traditional nickname for people from Bedfordshire is "Bedfordshire Bulldogs" or "Clangers", this last deriving from a local dish comprising a suet crust dumpling filled with meat or jam or both. The first recorded use of the name was in 1011 as "Bedanfordscir," meaning the shire or county of Bedford, which itself means "Beda's ford" (river crossing). Bedfordshire was historically divided into the nine hundreds: Barford, Biggleswade, Clifton, Flitt, Manshead, Redbournestoke, Stodden, Willey, Wixamtree, along with the liberty and borough of Bedford. There have been several minor changes to the county boundary; for example, in 1897 Kensworth and part of Caddington were transferred from Hertfordshire to Bedfordshire.
