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.
These French lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn French to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners course, students can expect to finish the course with decent telephone and e-mail French, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.
2 or more people can benefit studying French together as these French courses are also offered to groups (Two-to-One French Course or Small Group In-Company French Course). Every student must have the same degree of knowledge of the language, the same business or language needs and the ability to study at the same time and place as everybody else. The booking has to be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advocate group sessions of more than 6-8 people, though Taster French Courses can be experienced by 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."
Madison
When most people think of Wisconsin cities, only Milwaukee comes to mind. But it is Madison that may actually be the heart and soul of 'cheese country' (as the locals like to call it). Listed regularly on 'Best American Cities to Live' lists, Madison, Wisconsin is one of the most unique towns in the United States. Surrounded by more conservative areas, Madison is an oasis of 'thinking differently' and political involvement. Madison is the capital city of Wisconsin and is home to the state's biggest and best university, The University of Wisconsin. Known for its liberal politics and wild Halloween parties, Madison is also a hub of knowledge, with thousands of professors and research scientists setting up shop there each year. Progressive thinkers thrive in Madison, which means that it is an outstanding city to learn any language from French to Farsi and everything in between.
