French Lessons in Belfast

Thanks to our innovative in-person methodology, it has never been easy to start speaking French face-to-face. Reach out to us and we will prepare an interactive course for you with one of our expert native speaker teachers!

The type of courses we offer:

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) General French

These French lessons fit a broader spectrum and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival French by the end of their lesson, which will provide them with enough French to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of French culture and those who just wish to pass a particular French exam.

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) Business French

These French lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn French to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette. Once you have become more proficient, then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with imports and exports, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even in our most rudimentary lesson for beginnners, students can expect to finish with decent telephone and e-mail French, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country where the language is spoken.
