French for Business is designed for people with a professional interest in learning French. For a number of years, Euroasia has been specialising in French language teaching and in cross-cultural consulting. Now we have combined both areas of expertise and created a series of business-related language courses.

Even at beginner level, you can benefit from taking a course related to the world of business. How does it work?

Together with a language course focusing on general vocabulary, expressions and grammar, you have two 90-minute sessions devoted entirely to business language and cultural expectations – and geared to your particular level. These sessions are conducted by native-speaker French teachers with experience in the business world.

Outcomes

At the end of your first French for Business course you can expect to have:

• An ability to handle everyday situations in French
  
• The skills to exchange a variety of social pleasantries
  
• A feel for the way the language works

No one pretends that, after one course in French for Business, you will be able to conduct business in French: this course is an introduction. Of course, the further you take your study, the greater your understanding will be. At higher levels, you will learn more and more vocabulary related to business French. And we hope that some of you will reach a stage where you can conduct business in French!
