Greek Courses for Business in Lincoln

Private individuals and professionals in companies all over the UK have profited from undertaking a Greek Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. Averaging 15 years of experience, our native Greek speaking qualified teachers construct your course so that your individual requirements are met, no matter what your level of experience. Our Greek teachers receive excellent feedback from our clients. A profile, containing information about the Greek teacher’s background and experience, is sent to each student before the Greek lessons start.

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 Greek teacher will conduct your lessons almost entirely in Greek means that progress is made from your very first lesson. Soon, you will have such confidence that using Greek in a social or business setting will be no problem.

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

Greek Course Management

A multi-lingual Account Manager with extensive experience is responsible for each SIMON & SIMON Greek language course. A profile on your trainer, Course Plan and course materials will be sent to you when you start your Greek course. After every 40 hours of training you will receive a Progress Report. We will also send you Breaking the Language Barrier, our quarterly newsletter, which contains a wonderful prize draw and valuable language learning resource weblinks.

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

Lincoln Greek Course Schedules

The Greek language courses in Lincoln 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 also arrange Weekend Courses for you. Greek courses run from Monday to Friday, any time from 8am to 6pm. Intensive Greek 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 Greek language course we will assess your level of Greek and speak to you about your aims so that your Greek language course can be customised for you. You may have never been exposed to Greek before and wish to develop basic survival skills, or you may have some experience and wish to be able to speak more fluently in Greek when discussing business. You may want to further your ability to use Greek in negotiations and meetings or better your comprehension and pronunciation abilities. Whatever goals you may have, our experienced Greek language trainers will tailor your Greek course so that your goals can be quickly met.

Greek an independent branch of the Indo-European family of languages, is the language of the Greeks. Native to the southern Balkans, it has the longest documented history of any Indo-European language, spanning 34 centuries of written records. Its writing system has been the Greek alphabet for the majority of its history; other systems, such as Linear B and the Cypriot syllabary, were previously used. The alphabet arose from the Phoenician script, and was in turn the basis of the Latin, Cyrillic, Coptic, and many other writing systems.

Lincoln is a cathedral city and county town of Lincolnshire, England. The non-metropolitan district of Lincoln has a population of 85,595; the 2001 census gave the entire urban area of Lincoln a population of 120,779. The council identifies a ‘Greater Lincoln’ catchment area covering surrounding villages and towns, which has a population of 250,000. It has several twin towns: Port Lincoln, South Australia; Radomsko, Poland; Tangshan, China; and Neustadt an der Weinstraße, Germany. The earliest origins of Lincoln can be traced to the remains of an Iron Age settlement of round wooden dwellings (which were discovered by archaeologists in 1972) that have been dated to the 1st century BC. This settlement was built by a deep pool (the modern Brayford Pool) in the River Witham at the foot of a large hill (on which the Normans later built Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle). The origins of the name Lincoln may come from this period, when the settlement is thought to have been named in the Brythonic language of Iron Age Britain’s Celtic inhabitants as Lindon “The Pool”, presumably referring to the Brayford Pool (compare the etymology of the name Dublin, from the Gaelic “dubh linn” (“black pool”). It is not possible to know how big this original settlement was as its remains are now buried deep beneath the later Roman and medieval ruins, as well as the modern city of Lincoln.
