French 1 to 1 General
French courses of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival French - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying French usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these French classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in French culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in French.
French 1 to 1 Business
These courses in French are meant for those that feel that learning French would make a change in their work. For starters, it is expedient to learn how to say hello/goodbye, as well as basic business protocol; once the basics have been mastered, reading and writing come to the fore. Students who have greatly benefitted have been involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where another language is required, and those working in the international academia and government circuits. Even on our most fundamental beginner's course, students can anticipate ending the course with basic telephone French and e-mail French skills for communicating, as well as survival French if a short visit to the country is needed.
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.

French Testimonials
"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."
Chuck Dennis, WV
Longueuil
Longueuil is the 19th biggest city in Canada, with a population of 225,000 people. The city is broken up into three different boroughs, Vieux-Longueuil, Saint-Hubert and Greenfield Park, each one with a distinct feel and its own history. Close to Montreal, Longueuil is seen by many as a suburb of that world-renowned city. But there is industry in Longueuil, in particular the aerospace business. Companies like Pratt & Whitey and the Canadian Space Agency are both located there and employed thousands of the city's hardest working people. In terms of languages that are essential to living in Longueuil, French and English run one and two respectively, but there is also a growing need for Arabic speakers in the area.
