I just finished the B1 super-intensive course here, and I had a very positive experience. I had a few gaps in my knowledge from the A2 level, but I still found the course manageable and, for the most part, not too hard to understand—thanks to our teacher, Luca. We all understood all the topics, and I think the course is genuinely very effective.

My C1 German class instructor is open-minded. In addition to the textbook material, we often find ourselves discussing other interesting topics, which makes the Saturday class very enjoyable.

The people are nice, but the test is really hard—still, it's good.

Content Business French private

As the official language in Switzerland, French is also an important part of the basic skills expected by an employer in the working world. Those who have not yet had sufficient opportunity to bring their French up to a fluent level in school have the opportunity to do so in a specially tailored French course.

Here you will learn subject-specific vocabulary, can refresh your grammatical knowledge and, above all, practice oral communication in order to appear competent in your work environment. To do this, we use textbooks, magazine articles and exposés structured according to specific topics that are relevant in everyday work. Everyday life in the office, small talk, job applications, resumes and job interviews, meetings, but also presentations and negotiations are addressed here.

All four language skills (reading comprehension, listening comprehension, written and oral expression) are practiced here, and you can choose your own focus.

Exemplary exercise texts are used to show the different levels of politeness, from "very respectful", to "formal to friendly", to "less formal" and "very private". Grammar, which is already partly assumed, is also deepened and underpinned in these lessons. For example, when is it sufficient to conclude an email with "Sincères salutations. and when is it better to use the longer formula: "Veuillez accepter, Madame, l'expression de mes respectueux hommages"? You will learn this and more in our course.

In a private course, our teachers can also respond to your individual needs and create a lesson plan that suits your needs.

Sign up now and position yourself confidently in the French-speaking workplace.
