French 1 to 1 General
These French courses are more general in nature and are targeted at students with a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival French - required for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local population, students then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, French culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular French examination.
French 1 to 1 Business
These French courses are intended for people who really need to learn French to help make that difference in their work. For beginners, it will be useful to learn greetings and basic business etiquette, at higher levels reading and then writing become more important. Typical students include those involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where an additional language is required, and those working with international colleagues, academia and government. Even on our most basic course for Beginners, students should expect to end the course with basic Telephone French and e-mail French skills for communications as well as Survival French required for short visits to a country.
French Group Lessons
The French courses are also available for 2 or more people studying together (Two-to-One French Course or Small Group In-Company French Course). All participants must have the same level, the same business or general language needs and be able to study at the same time in the same location. The booking must be made for all participants at the same time. Listen & Learn do not recommend group classes of more than 6-8 people although In-Company Taster French Courses can be run with up to 12 people.

Après dissipation des brouillards matinaux, le soleil rayonnera sur une grande partie de la France en cet après-midi de Juillet.
Les maillots de bain, crèmes solaires et parasols seront de rigueur en Corse, ainsi que dans le sud et lââ¬â¢est de la France. Les températuresatteindront 32º en début d’après-midi dans les régions du sud, et seront d’une moyenne de 25º sur l’ensemble du pays.
Néanmoins, le ciel se voîlera en fin d’après-midi, avec quelques risques d’averses dans le nord de la France, suivies de pluie continue. Quelques rafales de vent sur les régions côtières pourraient également venir perturber la tranquilité des baigneurs de l’Atlantique, provoquant de grandes vagues sur les bords de plage.
Les orages et pluies à travers la France resteront tout de même modérés, et des éclaircies apparaîtront avant la tombée de la nuit.
La chaleur de l’après-midi ainsi que les orages et perturbations de fin de journée laisseront place à une nuit fraîche et humide. Les températures nocturnes ne dépasseront pas les 13º en région parisienne, avoisineront les 15º en montagne et atteindront les 17º en plaine. Le ciel restera étoilé sur l’ensemble du pays, ce qui sera de bonne augure pour demain, présageant une belle journée ensoleillée.
"I needed to learn some French because I'll be relocating to Canada next year. My Business French course was great - my teacher was real professional, and if I had any questions she was happy to answer them. Can't believe how quickly I got into it."

Albuquerque
With over half a million inhabitants, Albuquerque is the largest city in the state of New Mexico, and the population continues to grow rapidly. While the regional language is English, over 40% of the population of the city is of Latino or Hispanic origin - so if you're desperate to learn Spanish, Albuquerque could well be the perfect setting.
Albuquerque is also home to the University of Mexico, and has one of the oldest school districts in the USA.
