Bosnian Language Courses

Bosnian is one of the three official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the others being Croatian and Serbian. Both the Latin and Cyrillic alphabet are used, while everyday use is predominantly Latin. Over 2.7 million people speak Bosnian.

Bosnian is also spoken in:

• Croatia
• Macedonia
• Montenegro
• Serbia
• Slovenia
• Turkey

Bosnian language courses by SIMON & SIMON have been honed down to give you the greatest progress and value for money.

While we offer learning options on both a 1:1 and group basis, we find that most of our learners benefit most from 1 to 1 language training courses.

Group training offers great value for money, but the commitment and organisation to ensure the participants all show up at the same time every week is a trade-off. We recommend no more than 6 participants in a group otherwise the quality of the learning will drop dramatically for all learners.

SIMON & SIMON’s network is completely international, with a strong presence across the UK. Bosnian language courses have been arranged with our experienced language teachers in almost any major city around the world. Wherever you are located, our teachers can either meet you in your office, at one of our locations, in the comfort of your home or anywhere you like by running it through Skype!

We run our language courses all year long and can happen anytime between 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday. Weekend courses may also be negotiated with your teacher.

Sessions are typically 90 minutes long with at least one session per week. This can be increased or reduced according to your personal schedule.

And if you have an urgency to learn Bosnian, you can take part in an intensive Bosnian language course which consists of 6 hours every day Monday – Friday giving you 30 hours per week.

We do not run standardised Bosnian language courses. Instead, one of our multi-lingual Account Managers will speak to you directly and tailor the course to your particular objectives. Your teacher then guides you through your learning at the pace and in the direction that you yourself help to set.

This means that whether you’re an absolute beginning looking to “just survive” in Bosnia, or if you are a professional who wishes to understand the nuances of the language in order to perform better in a law, banking, finance, insurance, sales, travel, marketing or administration context, you will be able to find what you need with SIMON & SIMON’s Bosnian language courses.

We can also help you with pronunciation, translations, presentation skills and cultural training to help you better participate in the entirety of Bosnian culture.

Importantly, if you are looking to sit any kind of Bosnian language examinations, we can assist in your preparations and guide you through the necessary revision. We pride ourselves on achieving a 95% pass rate – which really comes down to the personal 1 to 1 language training from highly experiences Bosnian language teachers.

We will also assist in the registration and administration of these exams and can also handle the issuing of result certificates.

The table below is based on recognised language levels used by various academic institutions across the European Union. A highly motivated student attending weekly sessions with their Bosnian 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 Bosnian 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.
