Both professionals and non-professionals alike from all across the UK have witnessed the benefits of a Turkish Language Course provided by SIMON & SIMON.
SIMON & SIMON boast a highly qualified team of Turkish teachers, all of whom are native speakers and hold an average of 15 years’ experience. Your Turkish teacher will make sure that your Turkish Course in Nottingham is tailored to your specific needs so that you will benefit regardless of your language proficiency. All of our teachers regularly receive positive feedback from clients, and what’s more, before the start of your course you will be equipped with a profile on your trainer, detailing their previous experience and background.
Perhaps your only experience of learning Turkish is what you may remember from School? Modern Language Training is approached much differently from what you may remember of your time at school. The experience is now considered for more fun and rewarding. Your Turkish Course in Nottingham will be conducted almost entirely in Turkish, a modern teaching method known as the Communicative Approach. Adopting the Communicative Approach, you will soon have such confidence to use your newfound skills in a range of authentic situations.
Our Turkish 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 Turkish lessons at Nottingham mean that you will have your individual needs, weaknesses and strengths catered for, so that your progress is quicker.
A multi-lingual Account Manager with extensive experience is responsible for each SIMON & SIMON Turkish language course. A profile on your trainer, Course Plan and course materials will be sent to you when you start your Turkish 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 Turkish language courses for clients in numerous locations, and with our global network of language trainers we can organise a Turkish language course for you wherever you are – in almost any major city in the UK, Europe and beyond. The vast majority of our Turkish lessons take place at our clients’ offices, removing the need for you to travel, but Turkish lessons can take place in your home if that is more convenient. We can also arrange full-time residential Turkish language courses for you – just contact our office for information on available destinations.
The Turkish language courses in Nottingham 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. Turkish courses run from Monday to Friday, any time from 8am to 6pm. Intensive Turkish 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 Turkish language course we will assess your level of Turkish and speak to you about your aims so that your Turkish language course can be customised for you. You may have never been exposed to Turkish before and wish to develop basic survival skills, or you may have some experience and wish to be able to speak more fluently in Turkish when discussing business. You may want to further your ability to use Turkish in negotiations and meetings or better your comprehension and pronunciation abilities. Whatever goals you may have, our experienced Turkish language trainers will tailor your Turkish course so that your goals can be quickly met.
We are happy to help in your preparation for any Turkish examinations. Our students have a 95% pass rate and we think that their success shows the value of our policy of working with above-average experienced Turkish teachers in Nottingham. Issuing of results certificates, registration for Turkish examinations and administration of such exams is also provided by SIMON & SIMON.
Turkish is spoken as a native language by over 83 million people worldwide, making it the most commonly spoken of the Turkic languages. Its speakers are located predominantly in Turkey and Northern Cyprus with smaller groups in Iraq, Greece, Bulgaria, the Republic of Macedonia, Kosovo, Albania and other parts of Eastern Europe. Turkish is also spoken by several million immigrants in Western Europe, particularly in Germany.
Nottingham is a city and unitary authority area in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. It is located in the ceremonial county of Nottinghamshire, and is one of eight members of the English Core Cities Group. Whilst the City of Nottingham has a historically tightly drawn boundary which accounts for its relatively small population of 288,700, the wider Nottingham Urban Area has a population of 667,000 and is the seventh-largest urban area in the United Kingdom, ranking between those of Liverpool and Sheffield. Eurostat’s Larger Urban Zone listed the areas population at 825,600 as of 2004. Nottingham is famed for its links with the Robin Hood legend and, during the Industrial Revolution, obtained worldwide recognition for its lace-making and bicycle industries. It was granted its city charter as part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of Queen Victoria in 1897 and has since been officially titled the City of Nottingham. In Anglo-Saxon times, around 600 AD the site formed part of the Kingdom of Mercia and was known in the Brythonic language as Tigguo Cobauc, meaning Place of Caves. In Welsh it is known poetically as Y Ty Ogofog, “The Cavey Dwelling”. When it fell under the rule of a Saxon chieftain named Snot it became known as “Snotingaham”; the homestead of Snot’s people (Inga = the people of; Ham = homestead). Snot brought together his people in an area now known as the Lace Market.
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 Turkish language trainer in Nottingham 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 Turkish 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.
