Who are our French language courses for?

If you want access to the entire world of business, consider taking a French course. With its status as the language of diplomacy, the French language is also one of the most widely spoken languages for business in Africa, the future powerhouse of the world economy. The official language of more countries than even English, French is also spoken on every continent on earth, making it one of the most useful and versatile business languages that you can start learning today.

What you'll learn

You'll get support with the trickier areas of learning French, like pronunciation, grammatical gender, and verb conjugations – plus plenty of practice just using the language in a wide variety of situations you'll likely encounter in real life.
