One-to-one General/Business

French Course in Edinburgh

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. Business courses are aimed at those wishing to work in the target language - so a working knowledge of etiquette in French business, as well as developing proficient reading and writing skills.


Courses are, however, tailor-made - you cover in your lessons what you need to cover. Most students taking a Business French course will gain telephone and email expertise, as well as general conversation skills. Similarly, General courses can delve deeper into certain areas of the language that you know you will need.


Typical Business course students include those in international import/export, those hoping to gain acquisitions in foreign countries, those within multinational corporations, and people who do business with foreign institutions and governments. 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.

Info about Edinburgh


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.
