Professional French is not the same as everyday French.

Emails to send, meetings to lead, discussions with colleagues, administrative documents to fill … You realize that the most difficult part about France isn’t necessarily to learn everyday language.

It’s about understanding the specificities of your workplace. (And understanding French administration, which is complicated even for native speakers, I assure you).

You are an expatriate and have been working in France for some time now, but you still have the impression that:

Your French is a barrier in business, you have difficulty establishing relationships with your colleagues

You are unable to progress in your job and you would like French not to be a linguistic or cultural obstacle.

Your French is not fluent enough and you sometimes have difficulty making yourself understood, which can cause quite… Bizarre situations.

You're not really part of the team and you feel like you're apart.

You're not really up to the task, even if you know your job by heart and excel at it. It’s really the language that makes you lose self-confidence.

In short, you don’t feel completely comfortable in your job. And that’s normal.

Furthermore, learning French is one thing. Mastering it in a business context is another.

You had no idea that the work culture was so different.

You have endless meetings and your boss keeps asking you to “take stock”, “complete a file” or “send your feedback”, but you don’t know what that means exactly. .

The tone of communication in emails is subtle and you have difficulty using idiomatic expressions. Have you ever signed “my most sincere greetings” when a simple “have a good day” would have sufficed. Do you know how to say “best regards” in French? Cordialementa word you will use almost everyday!

You are still surprised that the lunch break is so long (2 hours to eat a salad, is that really necessary?) This is why I created the French Career Club.

Benefits of Practicing in the French Career Club

Each exercise you do is corrected by Agathe, Marie, or by me. As a result, you always know exactly where to improve. We will then send you a precise and tailor-made answer key to help you progress in French independently. You work on the language every week with fun exercises that will make you love your job in France.

You will receive exercises to carry out which are real role plays, simulations or case studies. Meaning you can improve your speaking and writing and no longer be afraid to speak in business.
For example, you will have to present your company, a project to potential partners, lead a meeting or request specific information on a subject.

The French Career Club is, above all, space for discussion and mutual support. You’ll be part of a small group of up to 10 people with whom you can discuss your doubts, obstacles, and aspirations. You can also ask any questions you have directly to the three French teachers (Agathe, Marie and me). We’ll answer your questions on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Between each monthly French course, you are not alone! I’m sending exercises via Discord to progress your mastery of the language. Such as, listen to an audio document, read a text, watch a report, write something, learn vocabulary… which you then send to me!

I will send you your exercises with corrections and personalized feedback to help you progress. During the week, from time to time, I provide additional resources on specific themes to give you the keys to your professional integration

During the 6 months where you learn to master the codes of corporate life, we meet every month to address one of these themes.

Additionally, a few days before your French course, we send you the resources in PDF format to help you prepare.

I started taking individual lessons with Daria in January with no previous knowledge of French besides the common phases. The lessons are tailored to my needs and my style of learning at a pace that benefits me. It has been a great source to grow my skills and learn more French. I can’t wait to continue using La French Zone classes and would recommend this to anyone looking to grow their French skills.

Od dwóch miesięcy jestem uczniem języka francuskiego Darii Malarde. Lekcje odbywaj się online. Uczyłem się już wcześniej francuskiego, dlatego wiem, jak ważna jest obok własnego zaangażowania osoba lektora w nauce. Liczy się tu umiejętność nauczania, znalezienie indywidualnego podejścia,, wyjście naprzeciw oczekiwaniom czyli ogólnie mówi c profesjonalizm. Bior c pod uwagę moje wcześniejsze doświadczenia, w przypadku pani Darii wszystkie te aspekty wypadaj znakomicie. Pani Daria jest zawsze przygotowana do lekcji, zaangażowana i przy tym niezwykle miła i komunikatywna, nie stwarza barier, nie onieśmiela i właściwie kieruje procesem nauki. Mam poczucie, że robię postępy w nauce.

I had a one-on-one course with Agathe over the past months and am more than happy with her teaching style. Her customized courses and her lovely character allowed me to leave my comfort zone and progress in French - writing and speaking was both actively promoted by her in the courses. Happily, I passed by DALF C1 thanks to this preparation. Thank you!

We can’t praise Daria enough for the help and confidence she has given us during our time learning to speak french with her over the past few months. We have definitely progressed with our language skills and knowledge during our time with her. She includes everyday practical language skills in her teaching, so you can immediately go and use this in the real world, (it’s not just endlessly repeating sentences that you don’t need). This has given us the confidence to talk to local people, and understand what they are saying in reply. Being able to speak and understand a little bit more french has made life here so much more enjoyable. She has also given us a better understanding of real everyday french life and its diverse culture, especially lots of background information on Brittany where we now live. If you really want to make real progress in learning french, I have no hesitation in recommending La French Zone.

I highly recommend La French Zone for improving your French. If you are on the fence, do it! I just completed my first block with Daria and she is absolutely phenomenal. Every private course is tailored specifically to the student. I wanted to learn more about sailing terms in French as I live on a sailboat and she created specific content for me that incorporated grammar but I also learned about a specific topic!! I also enjoyed the short lessons on French culture as well. Couldn’t recommend enough.

I have been working with Daria for 2 months since moving to France. I've never studied French before, so I have a lot of learning to do! She has been patient and kind with my beginner level, and is overall a very competent, warm, and fun teacher to learn with. I plan to continue my lessons with her and the school as I settle into my new home over the next several months. I highly recommend her services to anyone who wants to increase their French abilities and understanding of French culture.

I can't recommend Daria highly enough. I'm doing individual lessons both online and in person. I had found after many group courses and having passed B2, I knew lots of stuff but needed it to be knitted together to improve my spoken French in daily life. Daria doesn't slavishly follow the text book but focuses on what I need to work on. Daria is very organised and focused. I really like that she encourages and pushes me appropriately. Her classes are definitely worth the investment.

I started with La French Zone on the 28th of May with Marie, initially purchasing the 1-1 24-hour package. I was a bit skeptical at first because I thought learning French over a video call might be challenging for me. However, I was pleasantly surprised—La French Zone works very well over Zoom. I've greatly benefited from La French Zone. I feel I've been accommodated perfectly to my current level, and I really enjoy my classes. Initially, I was a bit shy and nervous to learn and try speaking French, but that quickly changed. I've now decided to engage further and book another course because I feel I've found the right place to really learn French, thanks to La French Zone. Merci beaucoup, Daria and Marie!
