Slovak lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Slovak - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Slovak usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Slovak classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Slovak culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Slovak.
These lessons in Slovak are meant for those that feel that learning Slovak would make a change in their work. For starters, it is expedient to learn how to say hello/goodbye, as well as basic business protocol; once the basics have been mastered, reading and writing come to the fore. Students who have greatly benefitted have been involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where another language is required, and those working in the international academia and government circuits. Even on our most fundamental beginner's lesson, students can anticipate ending the lesson with basic telephone Slovak and e-mail Slovak skills for communicating, as well as survival Slovak if a short visit to the country is needed.
The Slovak lessons are also available for 2 or more people studying together (Two-to-One Slovak Lesson or Small Group In-Company Slovak Lesson). All participants must have the same level, the same business or general language needs and be able to study at the same time in the same location. The booking must be made for all participants at the same time. Listen & Learn do not recommend group classes of more than 6-8 people although In-Company Taster Slovak Lessons can be run with up to 12 people.
Oshawa
Oshawa is located near Ontario, but is not technically a part of the Greater Ontario Area. The backbone of the Oshawa economy has always been the automotive industry. General Motors has long been a staple of the area, with the car manufacturer's Canadian operations located there. GM has been the primary employer of many of Oshawa's residents for years, at both the executive level and in the major parts assembly plant that sits just outside of the downtown center. Canada's most famous race horse, Northern Dancer, was born in Oshawa at Winfield Farms, the well-regarded Canadian horse farm and breeder. Of the 150,000 people who live in Oshawa, over 10% are minorities from around the world. As such, learning a second language such as Arabic, Chinese or others is an essential part of communicating with those who live there. In addition, the European heritage of the residents makes Eastern European tongues a popular learning experience as well.
