Once the most universal language in the world, the influence of French diminished in the early 20th century to make way for English
Along with English, French is the most-used language in the European Commission

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; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners course, students can expect to finish the course with decent telephone and e-mail French, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.

French courses of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival French - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying French usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these French 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 French culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in French.

Bournemouth
Bournemouth is a large coastal town and tourist hotspot with a population of over 160,000 people - making it the largest settlement in the county of Dorset. Originally famous for its expansive beaches as well as its inland shopping and historic tourism facilities, Bournemouth no longer lives up to its old nickname of "God's Waiting Room" as the city has recently become a much more youthful and vibrant place, mainly thanks to the large student population (many from overseas, as the city is a major centre for teaching English) and 24-hour clubs.
