Return HomeWhat This Program Opens For You
Imagine confidently leading a presentation to French colleagues, negotiating contract terms with Parisian partners, or crafting professional correspondence that conveys exactly the right tone. This program gives you the language skills that expand your professional opportunities in francophone markets.
You'll develop the ability to navigate French corporate culture with linguistic competence and cultural awareness. From understanding hierarchical communication patterns to mastering the formal register required in business settings, you'll gain skills that distinguish you professionally.
Beyond vocabulary and grammar, you'll learn the subtleties that make French business communication effective—when to be direct versus diplomatic, how to structure professional emails, and what cultural expectations shape francophone workplace interactions. This knowledge transforms you from someone who speaks French to someone who communicates effectively in French business contexts.
We Recognize Your Professional Challenges
Perhaps you've been asked to work with French-speaking clients or colleagues, but your conversational French doesn't include the formal terminology and professional protocols required in business settings. The language you learned for travel feels inadequate for corporate negotiations or technical discussions.
Maybe you struggle with written French correspondence, uncertain about the appropriate level of formality or worried that your emails don't convey the professional impression you intend. Understanding the difference between casual and business French can feel like navigating uncharted territory.
You might have excellent technical skills in your field but lack the French business vocabulary to discuss your work effectively with francophone partners. This language barrier limits your ability to contribute fully in international business contexts and may be affecting your career advancement.
These professional challenges are common among Tokyo business people engaging with French markets. The encouraging news is that business French follows predictable patterns and structures that, once learned, become natural tools in your professional communication.
Our Professional French Approach
Industry-Specific Vocabulary
We tailor the program to your professional sector. Whether you work in finance, technology, manufacturing, or another field, you'll learn the French terminology that's directly applicable to your business context and professional conversations.
Professional Writing Practice
Master the art of French business correspondence—from emails and reports to proposals and presentations. You'll learn the formal structures, appropriate phrases, and cultural conventions that make your written French professionally polished.
Meeting and Presentation Skills
Practice conducting meetings, delivering presentations, and participating in discussions entirely in French. Through business simulations, you'll develop confidence in these high-stakes professional situations where language precision matters.
French Business Culture
Understanding francophone corporate culture is as important as language skills. You'll learn the unwritten rules, hierarchical communication norms, and business etiquette that facilitate smooth professional relationships with French colleagues and clients.
Our guiding principle: Business French is about more than translation—it's about conveying professionalism, building trust, and navigating cultural expectations. We focus on the language skills that actually advance your career in francophone business contexts.
Your Nine-Week Professional Development
Weeks 1-3: Professional Foundations
We establish your business French foundation with essential professional vocabulary and formal communication structures. You'll learn how to introduce yourself professionally, understand French business hierarchies, and navigate common workplace interactions with appropriate formality.
Through case studies from French companies, you'll see how business concepts you know in English are expressed in French corporate contexts. We'll practice phone etiquette, email openings and closings, and the vocabulary needed for scheduling and coordination.
Weeks 4-6: Applied Business Communication
As your confidence builds, we move into more complex business scenarios. You'll practice writing professional reports, preparing meeting agendas, and delivering short presentations. The focus shifts to industry-specific terminology relevant to your professional field.
Business simulations help you practice negotiation vocabulary, understand French contract terminology, and develop the language skills for discussing financial matters, project timelines, and strategic planning with francophone partners.
Weeks 7-9: Professional Mastery
The final phase focuses on polishing your professional French communication. You'll conduct full business meetings in French, deliver comprehensive presentations on topics from your industry, and practice handling challenging professional situations like disagreements or complex negotiations.
We'll refine your written French through mock proposals and reports, ensuring you can produce professional documents that convey sophistication and competence. By program completion, you'll have developed the linguistic tools to participate confidently in francophone business environments.

Why This Approach Works for Professionals
Proven Business Focus
Our methodology specifically targets the language needs of professionals working with francophone markets. Rather than general French instruction, we concentrate on the vocabulary, structures, and cultural knowledge that matter in business contexts.
Our instructors understand both French business culture and the challenges Tokyo professionals face when engaging with European markets. This dual perspective ensures relevant, practical instruction that translates directly to your professional situations.
Realistic Professional Timeline
After nine weeks, most professionals can handle routine business communications in French with growing competence. You'll be able to participate in meetings, write professional emails, and engage in industry discussions with appropriate vocabulary.
Complete business fluency develops with continued practice, but this program establishes the foundation you need to function professionally in French-speaking business environments and continue improving through real-world application.
Measuring Professional Progress
We track your development through practical business scenarios. You'll notice improvements in your ability to understand French business correspondence, participate in professional discussions, and express complex ideas with appropriate formality.
Your instructor provides ongoing feedback on your professional communication skills, helping you refine both accuracy and cultural appropriateness. These practical competencies often matter more in business contexts than standardized test scores.
Professional Outcomes
Professionals completing this program regularly report successfully handling French business communications that previously required translation assistance. Many find themselves more confident in international meetings and able to build stronger relationships with francophone colleagues.
The combination of business-specific vocabulary, cultural training, and practical communication exercises helps professionals develop skills they can apply immediately in their work with French-speaking markets and partners.
The professional advantage: Business French isn't about perfect grammar—it's about effective communication in professional contexts. When you understand the cultural expectations and have the vocabulary to express your expertise, you can engage confidently with francophone business partners and colleagues.
