French Courses in Omaha
Our French speakers, fully qualified to teach their native tongue, can train you and, if need be, the rest of your group at a time that is suitable to you, at your home or place of work. Sessions can take place on the day of your choosing - even weekends - and at the time you want: whether it be morning, afternoon or evening. If circumstances arise where your home or office is not convenient, the classes can be held at your trainer's office. Resources for the course are provided for you.
French 1 to 1 General
These French lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival French by the end of their course, which will provide them without enough French to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of French culture and those who just wish to pass a particular French exam.
French 1 to 1 Business
French courses of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn French to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies, and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Just our most basic beginners course will have the student finishing the course with basic telephone/e-mail skills in French, as well as survival French should a short stay in the country be needed.
French Group Lessons
Those wishing to learn French in groups of 2 or more together (Two-to-One French Courses or Small Group In-Company French Courses) can sign up for our group classes. All students must be at nearly the same level of French proficiency, must have the same needs from the language, and must be able to study at the same time and place as the others. Bookings must be made for all students simultaneously. Listen & Learn do not propose group sizes or more than 6-8 people, but In-Company Taster French Courses can occur with up to 12 people.
French Facts
From the 1600s to the 1800s, France was the dominant European nation, and French was the common tongue for matters of culture, diplomacy and art
As a Romance tongue, most French words come from Latin, since it was a great influence on the country's culture after Caesar's Gallic invasion
French has only two genders - masculine and feminine - and some verb tenses need auxiliary verbs, usually to have ('avoir') and to be ('être')

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
Omaha
Omaha's modern history of multiculturalism dates back to the late nineteenth and early twentieth century as a tale of ethnic enclaves or gated socioeconomic communities. In Little Italy, Little Bohemia and Greek Town the workers of the world truly united in Omaha.
In fact, famed classical composer Antonín Dvorák wrote his 9th Symphony after a visit in 1893 visit to the numerous and prosperous Czech community of Omaha. But anyone can be inspired to greatness in Omaha though, even today. Soak up a little of the rich international vibe of Omaha and prepare to learn a new language in a supportive and accommodating atmosphere. Vast populations of Mexicans, Czechs, Germans, Poles, Swedes, Norwegians, Russians, Chinese, Cambodians and Thais now call Omaha home, so just think what this could mean for practicing potential with native speakers. Omaha's cultural and linguistic heritage is just waiting to be explored!
