Vietnamese Courses for Business in Oxfordshire

All over the UK, private individuals and professionals in a variety of companies have gained benefits by taking part in a Vietnamese Language Course from SIMON & SIMON. With an average of 15 years’ experience, the native Vietnamese speakers of SIMON & SIMON’s qualified teaching team tailor each course for the specific requirements of the student, from absolute novices to those with some experience. Our clients reliably give excellent feedback on our Vietnamese teachers. Each of our students receives an information profile on the background and experience of their Vietnamese teacher before they commence their Vietnamese lessons.

The way that modern languages are taught has gone through a revolution in the past few years. If you have only learned languages at school you will find that the experience now is vastly more fun and worthwhile. The Communicative Approach means that your Vietnamese lessons in Oxfordshire will be almost entirely through the medium of Vietnamese. You will feel that you are making real progress, even in the first lesson, and will soon communicate in Vietnamese with confidence, in a range of social and business environments.

Both 1:1 and group formats are available for our Vietnamese language courses. While most of our clients offer 1:1 Vietnamese training, the group format can offer great value for money. If you want groups to be successful, the members must commit to the weekly meetings and we recommend keeping the number of participants below 7. Progress is faster for those who learn Vietnamese in Oxfordshire on a 1:1 basis as the lessons are individually tailored for their particular needs, strengths and weaknesses.

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’s Vietnamese language courses have been run for clients in many different locations. With a global network of language trainers a Vietnamese language course can be held in almost any major city throughout Europe and elsewhere. We can arrange Vietnamese language courses in your home or, as many of our clients prefer, in your offices to remove the need for you to travel. Full-time residential Vietnamese language courses are also an option. For a list of locations, please contact our office.

Oxfordshire Vietnamese Course Schedules

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

Vietnamese Language Examination Courses

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

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.

Oxfordshire is a county in the South East region of England, bordering on Warwickshire, Northamptonshire (to the north/northeast), Buckinghamshire (to the east), Berkshire (to the south), Wiltshire and Swindon (to the southwest), Gloucestershire (to the west) and Warwickshire (to the north). It is divided into five local government districts: Oxford, Cherwell, Vale of White Horse (after the Uffington White Horse), West Oxfordshire and South Oxfordshire. The county has a major tourist industry. The area is noted for the concentration of performance motorsport companies and facilities. Oxford University Press is the largest firm among a concentration of print and publishing firms; the University of Oxford is also linked to the concentration of local biotechnology companies. The main centre of population is the city of Oxford. Other significant settlements are Banbury, Bicester, Kidlington, and Chipping Norton to the north of Oxford; Witney to the west; Thame and Chinnor to the east; and Abingdon, Wantage, Didcot, Wallingford and Henley-on-Thames to the south. Future population growth in the county is hoped to be concentrated around Oxford, Banbury, Bicester, Didcot and Witney, near the South Midlands growth area. The highest point of the administrative county is White Horse Hill, in the Vale of White Horse, reaching 261 metres (856 ft). The highest point in the historic county is near Portobello Farm in the Chiltern Hills at 255 metres. Oxfordshire's county flower is the Snake's-head Fritillary.
