One-to-one General/Business

French Course in Edinburgh

It's no problem if you need to take French lessons specifically for personal use or to help with your career - our trainers mould the lesson plan to your precise needs.

While a General French course will provide you with enough linguistic ammunition to allow you to survive a short visit to the country (greetings, basic conversation and a solid grammatical foundation). Business courses will centre more on formal, business communication, and focus more on reading and writing skills as you advance further.


The exact syllabus is not determined simply in terms of 'General' or 'Business' - the course is tailor-made to your needs. If, as a Business student, you need extra focus on telephone or email communication, or vocabulary from a specific field of business, you only need mention this to your tutor. Similarly, General courses can delve deeper into certain areas of the language that you know you will need.


We arrange Business courses for many clients; primarily those working in international trade, overseas governments and universities, and employees of multinational firms who require a second language. General courses cater mostly to those who wish to learn French for short trips to (or through) a country where it is widely spoken; as well as those who wish to pass a specific French exam, people who want to buy a home abroad, and people marrying into a French family.

City information


Edinburgh is something of a city of extremes. While the population is relatively old for the national average, the constant influx of the transient student population (around 100,000 out of a city of just under half a million people) makes up for the relative lack of resident youth. The city has a plethora of history, yet is one of the fastest-growing regions in Europe.

For most of the year the city is like any other historic Scottish city - mostly peaceful, with friendly residents, beautiful architecture, all overshadowed by a medieval castle. But that all goes to pot during the months from July to September, as the Edinburgh Festival runs its course, attracting many thousands of people to Scotland's capital.

Language information


As the official language of 41 countries worldwide, French is an invaluable tool when travelling to certain corners of the world. Learning French can be made easier by getting in touch with Language Trainers, who can send a fully qualified native French speaker to your home or place of work at a time to suit you, and train you either in private sessions or in a group, if need be. They will make all relevant academic resources available for you, and can tailor the course to your individual needs.
