Professional Business French & General French Courses

Tailored Business & Everyday French Training

At Babel, we offer two distinct pathways to suit different professional needs.

Business French is designed for learners who want to build the language skills they need in the workplace - from participating in meetings, giving presentations, and writing professional emails, to negotiating and networking confidently with French-speaking colleagues or clients.

General French, on the other hand, is ideal for those who need a strong foundation in everyday communication before applying it in a professional context. This option focuses on developing fluency and accuracy in speaking, listening, reading, and writing, while still keeping content relevant to the world of work. In both cases, lessons are practical, goal-oriented, and tailored to ensure your team can apply what they learn directly in real situations.
