Many professionals in companies across the UK, as well as private individuals, have benefited from an Swedish Language Course with SIMON & SIMON.
Courses designed specifically around your needs
We have a terrific team of qualified native-speaker Swedish teachers with an average of 15 years’ experience.
They will ensure you benefit from a course designed specifically around your needs, whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced learner with more specialised requirements. We consistently receive excellent feedback on our Swedish tutors from our clients,. We send our students a profile on their Swedish tutor prior to their Swedish lessons commencing, with information on the tutor’s background and experience for your own piece of mind.
If the only experience you have of studying a language is from your time in school, you may not know that there has been a revolution in the teaching of modern languages so that it is both more fun and more worthwhile. Your Swedish teacher in Bournemouth will be using the Communicative Approach, where your lessons will, with few exceptions, be conducted in Swedish. You will see your progress from that very first lesson and will soon be confident enough to conduct business or talk socially in Swedish.
In depth: Our Swedish Language Courses in Bournemouth
1:1 and Group Swedish Courses in Bournemouth
You have a choice of either a 1:1 or group sessions. Most of our clients use 1:1, however the group sessions can also be of good value. The group session numbers should be kept to 6 or less for the teacher to give good quality 1:1 time to each student. Those who take the 1:1 course will experience quicker progression as the lessons can be fully tailored to your every need.
Swedish Course Management
Each course at SIMON & SIMON is overseen by one of our highly professional, experienced and multi-lingual Account Managers. Prior to the course you are sent a profile of your Swedish teacher stating their experience and background which is then followed by a Course Plan, course materials and a Progress Report after every 30 – 40 hours of training.
Swedish Course Locations & Schedules
We have a global network of language trainers enabling us to arrange your Swedish course in almost any major European city, or even further abroad. You have the option of your Swedish language lesson taking place in the comfort of your own home or at your office to minimise travel.

Bournemouth Swedish Course Schedules
Our Swedish courses run throughout the year. The vast majority of our students take part in at least one 90-minute lesson a week but many will attend more than one session, if work commitments allow. The Swedish programmes run between 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday. Our lessons are also available at weekends on request. We also run intensive Swedish language courses which are 30 hours per week, 6 hours a day, Monday to Friday. This can be held on clients’ premises or at a residential centre in within Bournemouth.
Swedish Course Content
Before you start your course you will be assessed on your level of Swedish and we will discuss what you would like to focus on. Your ultimate goal may be to just gain every day Swedish skills or it may be more advanced like gaining the ability to discuss banking, finance or marketing. Whatever your goals or needs, SIMON & SIMON provides experienced Swedish language trainers that will help you achieve your goal quickly.
Swedish Language Examination Courses
We can provide support in preparing for your Swedish language examinations as well as any other type of Swedish language examination. We are extremely proud of the 95% pass rate of our students in language examinations and we believe this shows the value of working with Swedish teachers with above-average experience. SIMON & SIMON can also register you for your examination, administer the examination and issue your results.
About Swedish
Swedish is a North Germanic language, spoken by approximately 10 million people, predominantly in Sweden and parts of Finland, especially along its coast and on the Åland islands. It is, to a considerable extent, mutually intelligible with Norwegian and to a lesser extent with Danish. Along with the other North Germanic languages, Swedish is a descendant of Old Norse, the common language of the Germanic peoples living in Scandinavia during the Viking Era. It is currently the largest of the North Germanic languages by numbers of speakers.
About Bournemouth
Bournemouth is a large coastal resort town in the county of Dorset, England. According to the 2001 Census the town has a population of 164,900, making it the largest settlement in Dorset. It is also the largest settlement between Southampton and Plymouth. With Poole and Christchurch Bournemouth forms the South East Dorset conurbation, which has a total population of approximately 400,000. Founded in 1810 by Lewis Tregonwell, Bournemouth’s growth accelerated with the arrival of the railway, becoming a recognised town in 1870. Originally part of Hampshire, it joined Dorset with the reorganisation of local government in 1974. Since 1997 the town has been administered by a unitary authority, meaning that it has autonomy from Dorset County Council. The local authority is Bournemouth Borough Council. Bournemouth’s location on the south coast of England has made it a popular destination for tourists. The town is a regional centre of business, home of the Bournemouth International Centre and financial companies that include Liverpool Victoria and PruHealth. In a 2007 survey by First Direct Bank, Bournemouth was found to be the happiest place in Britain with 82% of people questioned saying they were happy with their life.
