Professional French
Business French Lessons Online, French for Work & Professionals
Whether you're joining a French-speaking company, working with French clients, or preparing for a job interview in French, Camille will help you communicate professionally with confidence and precision. Lessons are built around your actual role and industry, not a generic textbook, so every hour you spend studying maps directly onto conversations you'll really have at work.
The curriculum
What Business French Covers
Every lesson is tailored to your professional reality, the situations you face at work, in meetings, and with clients.
Meetings & negotiations
Lead or participate confidently in French-language meetings, from routine status updates to high-stakes negotiations. You'll practise asking clarifying questions naturally, pushing back diplomatically, and following fast-moving discussions without losing the thread.
Business emails & writing
Write professional emails, reports, and documents in French with the right tone and register. Camille reviews real messages you need to send, not generic templates, correcting both grammar and the subtler question of formality.
Phone calls & video conferences
Handle calls in French without panic. Learn the exact phrases for opening a call, asking someone to repeat themselves politely, changing subject smoothly, and closing a conversation on a professional note.
Presentations
Structure and deliver presentations in French with clarity and authority, from a strong opening through to handling unpredictable questions afterward. We practise the exact delivery style expected in your industry.
Industry-specific vocabulary
Finance, tech, law, healthcare, luxury: Camille adapts to your sector and the terminology you actually use. Send over a real document or glossary from your job and lessons are built directly around it.
Job interview preparation
Nail your French-language job interview with targeted vocabulary, full mock interviews, and honest feedback. We cover the questions you can expect, how to discuss your career history, and even salary negotiation phrasing.
Is this for you?
Who This Is For
Professionals relocating to francophone countries
Moving to France, Switzerland, Belgium, or Quebec for work? Get your professional French up to speed before you arrive, so your first weeks on the job are about the work itself, not decoding the language around you.
International company employees
Working in a company where French is used in meetings, internal documents, or with colleagues and clients? Close the gap between the French you learned years ago and the French you actually need in the office today.
Entrepreneurs with French-speaking clients
Build stronger relationships with French-speaking partners, investors, and clients by communicating directly in their language instead of relying on translation or a colleague to bridge the gap for you.
Job interview candidates
Preparing for a role that requires French? Camille will run targeted mock interviews in your exact industry, so you walk in having already practised the questions you're actually going to be asked.
The approach
How These Lessons Work
Every lesson starts with a plan built specifically around your job, not a fixed curriculum, and you receive written feedback after each session so nothing gets lost between meetings. Sessions run on Microsoft Teams and fit around your schedule across any time zone, which matters when you're fitting professional French around an already full work week. As your vocabulary and confidence grow, lessons shift from guided practice toward realistic simulations of your actual meetings, calls, and presentations, so the French you've practised is the French you'll use.
FAQ
Your questions, answered
Do I need to already speak French to start Business French lessons?
You need at least a B1 level (intermediate) to get the most from business-focused lessons. If you're a beginner, start with general lessons first.
Can you focus on my specific industry?
Yes. Camille tailors vocabulary and scenarios to your exact professional context.
How long are the lessons?
50-minute sessions are recommended for professional preparation to allow enough depth.
What if I need to catch up quickly before a specific deadline, like a relocation or a new role?
Let Camille know your timeline when you book. Lessons can be scheduled more intensively in the weeks leading up to a known deadline, with materials prioritised around what you'll need first.
Do I get any materials to review between lessons?
Yes. Every lesson includes a personalised plan and written feedback afterward, along with any vocabulary lists or materials relevant to your industry, so you have something concrete to review before the next session.
