Business French
Close deals, run meetings and write with authority in French. A results-focused course for professionals in small groups of 8 — on campus in Santa Monica or live online.
French that works at work
Business French is built for professionals who need results, not theory. Every lesson centres on the situations you actually face — a client call, a negotiation, a presentation, an email you can't afford to get wrong. From the first session you practise in real French, with groups capped at 8 so you always get speaking time.
A free placement test confirms you're at B1 or above, and your teacher tailors role-plays and vocabulary to your industry, with written progress feedback every week. Not sure which track fits? Compare all French courses at Lingua Nova.
