Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced learner with more specialised goals, whatever your requirements, SIMON & SIMON will ensure that your Spanish Course is as rewarding as possible.

The way in which modern languages are taught has been revolutionised in recent years. The experience is now considerably more fun and rewarding, a far cry from what you may remember of learning a language at school. The Communicative Approach, a teaching approach we adopt throughout our Spanish Courses in Bristol, means that the majority of your Spanish lessons in Bristol will be conducted almost entirely in Spanish. Adopting this teaching approach, students can make progress right from their very first session.
Our Spanish Courses in Bristol can be run either on a 1:1 or group basis. While group sessions prove to be good value, a 1:1 Spanish Course in Bristol will allow for quicker progress. Group sessions should be kept at a maximum of 6 candidates per course, and will require the commitment of each student. If you require faster progress, then a 1:1 Spanish Course in Bristol will be more suitable, as the lessons and course can be tailored to the individual requirements of the student
A multi-lingual Account Manager, with extensive experience, oversees each SIMON & SIMON Spanish Course. A profile on your trainer, along with a Course Plan and course materials, will be sent to you prior to starting your course. You will then also receive a Progress Report after every 40 hours of training you complete.
At SIMON & SIMON we have experience arranging Spanish Language Courses in a host of locations. Our global network of language trainers means that any major city in the UK, Europe and beyond can play host to your Spanish Language Course. We can arrange your Spanish lessons within your own home, however the majority of our clients will choose to run their course within their own offices so as to minimise travel. Residential full-time Spanish Language Courses are also available. Please enquire with our offices regarding available locations.
Our Spanish Language Courses in Bristol take place throughout the year, Monday to Friday, from 8am to 6pm. We can also accommodate weekend courses upon request. Many of our students will choose to attend multiple sessions per week, however the majority of our clients will attend just one weekly 90-minute session. We can also provide Intensive Spanish Language Courses on a client’s premises or in residential centres in the UK and abroad. Enquire with our offices for more information.
Your Spanish Course in Bristol will be customised to your level of Spanish Language experience and personal goals. Before the start of your course, we will comprehensively assess your level of Spanish experience, and discuss with you in detail your desired focus. You may have little or no experience of Spanish and only wish to develop basic conversational skills, or you may be a slightly more proficient learner with a desire to improve your fluency when it comes to business topics. Whatever your goals, you can be confident that your Spanish Course in Bristol will be customised around your requirements.
SIMON & SIMON also offer assistance with the preparation for Spanish examinations, whether of a business nature or otherwise. Our students boast a 95% pass rate when it comes to such examinations, which we believe to be a reflection of the importance of working with language trainers in Bristol whose experience is above average. The registration for and administration of Spanish examinations, along with the issuing of results is all taken care of by SIMON & SIMON.
Spanish is a Romance language in the Ibero-Romance group that evolved from several languages and dialects in the central-north of Iberia during the 9th century and gradually spread with the expansion of the Kingdom of Castile into central and southern Iberia during the later Medieval period. In 1999, there were 358 million people speaking Spanish as a native language and a total of 417 million speakers worldwide. As of 2010 these figures are up to 400 and 500 million people respectively. Spanish is the second most natively spoken language in the world, after Mandarin Chinese. Mexico contains the largest population of Spanish speakers. Spanish is one of the six official languages of the United Nations.
Bristol is a city, unitary authority area and ceremonial county in South West England, with an estimated population of 433,100 for the unitary authority in 2009, and a surrounding Larger Urban Zone (LUZ) with an estimated 1,006,600 residents, it is England’s sixth, and the United Kingdom’s eighth most populous city, one of the group of English Core Cities and the most populous city in South West England.
Bristol received a Royal Charter in 1155 and was granted County status in 1373. From the 13th century, for half a millennium, it ranked amongst the top three English cities after London, alongside York and Norwich, on the basis of tax receipts, until the rapid rise of Liverpool, Birmingham and Manchester during the Industrial Revolution in the latter part of the 18th century. It borders the counties of Somerset and Gloucestershire and is also located near the historic cities of Bath to the south east and Gloucester to the north. The city is built around the River Avon, and it also has a short coastline on the Severn Estuary, which flows into the Bristol Channel. Bristol is the largest centre of culture, employment and education in the region. Its prosperity has been linked with the sea since its earliest days.
The commercial Port of Bristol was originally in the city centre before being moved to the Severn Estuary at Avonmouth; Royal Portbury Dock is on the western edge of the city boundary.
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 Spanish language trainer in Bristol 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 practice Spanish 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.
