Why learn business French ?

Efficient communication in your company:

Learning French can be a real asset to a team, helping to improve collaboration with French-speaking colleagues and partners. Learning both the culture and the language can also aid in better understanding cultural challenges. We will help you master specific vocabulary for meetings, presentations, or negotiations. We can also facilitate the writing of emails, reports, or any other professional communication.

Career opportunities

If you are in the process of applying for jobs, we can support you in preparing for interviews with French-speaking companies. Speaking French is a valuable asset for work and a strength to stand out for positions in international trade, diplomacy, or sectors related to the Francophone world, such as fashion and gastronomy.

International expansion

French is very important on the international stage. By speaking French, you can also build strong business relationships with Francophone partners. And in a world where many people can speak French, French people still take great pride in speaking their language. The Francophonie network is vast, and speaking French is an open door to economic partnerships and access to growing regions where France has historical and economic ties

The soft power of France in the world

The soft power of France should not be underestimated. France has a rich history in the arts, fashion, cuisine, cinema, and philosophy. The French language carries this cultural prestige globally, making it attractive and influential in shaping global trends and ideas. So, understanding the business culture of Francophone countries and adapting your strategy accordingly could give your career a significant boost.

Corporate French lessons tailored to your needs

Our French lessons for professionals are designed specifically for whatever your business sector is. Our students come from various fields such as finance, marketing, legal, engineering, hospitality, and NGOs. We will ensure the relevance to your day-to-day activities.

We start by focusing on the essential terminology and expressions used in your specific field to communicate accurately and persuasively. Then we usually practice through role-plays such as client meetings, negotiations, phone calls, and presentations to build confidence and fluency in professional scenarios.

We also discuss cultural differences to help you handle cross-cultural communication challenges. And depending on your needs, we develop key competencies like writing professional emails, leading or participating in meetings.

We offer one-on-one coaching, group sessions, or online modules adapted to your team’s availability and learning goals.

French language certifications for business

We have a lot of experience in exam preparation, especially with DELF and TCF.

  • DELF is better for individuals looking to certify their French proficiency at an intermediate level (A1 to B2) for general or professional purposes. It’s a long-term, internationally recognized certification.
  • TCF is better for those who need a more flexible, customizable test, especially useful for immigration or specific academic requirements. The TCF is widely used for assessing a broad range of learners and is more flexible in terms of its testing format.

But we can also adapt our classes to any other professional exam you may require for your professional needs. For instance, the Diplôme de Français Professionnel (DFP), organized by the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIP), is a certification designed for professionals across various sectors, including business, finance, marketing, law, and tourism, to assess their ability to communicate effectively in French within a professional environment. Examples include the DFP Affaires for business professionals and the DFP Marketing et Communication for those working in marketing and communication.

Customer reviews

I was very pleased with the work Marion and her team did with my French lessons. The profiling at the beginning was key to putting me at a level I felt comfortable with yet challenged. We were able to hit it off quickly and agree on a curriculum that fitted my needs. I also liked that Marion’s strategy includes a session with her personally half way through to check on progress and if the program needs calibration. Communication was seamless throughout. I was happy with my choice of tutor team and would recommend them to anyone. Merci encore!

Alejandro, student living in London

I’ve been working with Marion for over a year now, and the progress I’ve made in French has been incredible. I originally set out to improve my language skills for business, and thanks to Marion, I’m now using French regularly in professional settings with real confidence.
I appreciate how thoughtful and adaptable her teaching style is. She strikes the perfect balance between conversational flow and structured learning, and she always tailors lessons to what I actually need – unfortunately for her, that’s technical IT language. Whether we’re preparing for meetings, reviewing vocabulary, or working on pronunciation, it all feels purposeful and well-paced.
Marion makes learning feel productive and enjoyable, which isn’t easy with a busy schedule and a business-focused goal. I genuinely look forward to our sessions and always leave them feeling more capable.
Couldn’t recommend her more highly, especially if you’re looking to use French in real-world, professional contexts.

Elliot, American student living in Lisbon

Having learnt French in school, then taken various night school classes post university, I decided to try Marion for some one on one teaching to specifically help me re learn the language but also give me confidence in my work after my company recently opened a Paris studio. It’s been a great six months and I have, through weekly sessions, gained back some of my knowledge. Working with Selma has been great – going through the grammar and vocabulary has been great but its also been brought to life through using real life scenarios and language that would be used in my everyday work. I couldn’t recommend Selma and Marion more. They really listen and build a lessons around your ability and interests – encouraging and pushing you to take the leap and feel confident.

The best! Need we say more.

Marion was extremely welcoming into learning French and put me in the very supportive hands of Selma. In whom guided me through French with patience, ease, and vigour. An amazing balance to take me through from B1 all the way to C1.
If you want to start, perfect, or become French, this is definitely the place to go! This isn’t a good bye, but an à bientôt.
Thank you Selma & Marion!
