One-to-one General/Business

French Course in Birmingham

Whether you're looking to learn a language for personal or business reasons, our tailor-made courses can help you achieve your aims.

General and Business courses in French differ in style and content: a General course will concentrate on developing confident conversational skills, making short visits to the country less of an exercise in frustration and more about building upon the foundations to your own ends. A Business course will focus on business protocol in French, and later on reading and writing will become more important.


It is your first session and your own requirements, however, which decide the precise content of the course. A Business course will generally include common conversational topics, as well as gaining greater fluency with writing letters and emails in French, as well as using the telephone. In the same vein, the syllabus for General courses is not set in stone - all you need do is ask your teacher.


Typical learners who choose our Business courses are import/export professionals, agents for multi-national companies, and those involved with foreign governments and universities. Our General courses cater for people aiming to purchase overseas property, globetrotters, French language and culture devotees, as well as people who need to pass a particular French exam.

City information


Often referred to as England's 'second city', Birmingham is famed for its industrial importance throughout the country's history, as well as being home to the 'least sexy' accent in the UK. While it may be characteristic of Birmingham's native population, the city actually has the smallest indigenous population by proportion of any city in the United Kingdom. In fact the city has become known as a 'plural city' - that is, one with no ethnic majority.

This cultural variety is what makes Birmingham a cracking place to start picking up a second language. With around 20% of the population born outside the UK, and another 15% from outside the EU, there are plenty of opportunities to discover new and interesting languages around the city; and thanks to Birmingham's city council being the UK's largest local education authority, there is a wide and varied pool of qualified language trainers made available to you.
