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.

"I have been having very intensive French lessons over the last 5 weeks in preparation for my expat move. Our tutor did a fantastic job of developing a lesson plan, prepping me for the essentials and covering the basics, giving me a strong French foundation on which I can build over the coming years. She was very flexible with lesson times, working around my schedule and always brought a lot of energy and enthusiasm, no matter how early in the morning or late in the evening it was!"
