Our native speaker qualified French language teachers can train you and your colleagues at your office or home at a time to suit you.

In certain circumstances, if your home or office is not suitable, you can take your classes at the trainer's office. Lesson books are provided.
This set of French tutorials are less specific and more targeted at those who want to get a range of different things from learning French. Even though all novice students will cover survival French: enough French to make a visit to the country or make good contacts with the locals, but what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefitted from these lessons have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in French culture, and those who just want to pass a specific examination in French.
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 lesson, students can expect to finish the lesson 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 lessons are also offered to groups (Two-to-One French Lesson or Small Group In-Company French Lesson). 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 Lessons 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."
St. Louis
Named after the King Louis IX of France, St. Louis is famed for multiple French influences on its fascinating local history. Equally highly regarded are the German influences on this independent city in the state of Missouri. Yet the international links held by St. Louis are not just consigned to the history books. An active cultural interaction with France and Germany is maintained through to the modern day by participation in the Sister Cities International program. Strong ties between St. Louis and Lyon in France, French-speaking Saint-Louis in Senegal and Stuttgart in Germany ensure that the bond of linguistic exchange isn't broken. As a result, St. Louis is a great spot to study a new language! Whether you are interested in Russian, Japanese, Indonesian, Polish, Chinese, Italian, Hebrew or a variety of other interesting international languages, you needn't to go any further than St. Louis!
