As the official language in Switzerland, French is also an important part of the basic skills expected by an employer in the working world. Those who have not yet had sufficient opportunity to bring their French up to a fluent level in school have the opportunity to do so in a specially tailored French course.
Here you will learn subject-specific vocabulary, can refresh your grammatical knowledge and, above all, practice oral communication in order to appear competent in your work environment. To do this, we use textbooks, magazine articles and exposés structured according to specific topics that are relevant in everyday work. Everyday life in the office, small talk, job applications, resumes and job interviews, meetings, but also presentations and negotiations are addressed here.
All four language skills (reading comprehension, listening comprehension, written and oral expression) are practiced here, and you can choose your own focus.
The different levels of politeness, from "very respectful" and "formal to friendly" to "less formal" and "very private", are demonstrated using sample exercise texts. The grammar, some of which is already assumed, is also deepened and reinforced in these lessons. For example, when is it enough to write "Sincères salutations." as the closing phrase in a Email and when is it better to use the slightly longer formula: "Veuillez accepter, Madame, l'expression de mes respectueux hommages."? You will learn this and more in our course.
In a private course, our teachers can also respond to your individual needs and create a lesson plan that suits your needs.
