Overcome the language barrier to optimize your professional and personal integration with French as a foreign language course
What are the main problems faced by our foreign expats?
- I can’t express myself properly, I can’t find the exact words I need: It’s frustrating.
- I have a very strong accent, which sometimes makes me hard to understand.
- I make mistakes in French, which can lead to annoying misunderstandings.
- I don’t have the professional vocabulary in French that I need to work with my colleagues, clients and partners
- I can’t communicate with my children’s teachers,
- I can’t describe my symptoms to a doctor… nor can I describe my car’s problems to a garage!
- I am so anxious that I don’t even want to say a few words in French in the shops in my neighbourhood or with my neighbours … because I wouldn’t be able to answer them if they then started a conversation!
- I can’t contact customer service by phone.
- I would like to join a local association or club to meet people but I don’t feel like I could blend in.
All these obstacles are easy to overcome in a few months, at your own pace, according to your availability. Our French foreign language courses are provided by professional trainers. Your trainer will also be best placed to guide you through the cultural differences between France and your country of origin.
