Language training courses

For over 25 years, Les Langues du Monde’s training philosophy has been rooted in a personalised approach designed to unlock our clients’ potential.

Our hand-picked language consultants are not only highly experienced teachers – they are all former business professionals who use their industry know-how to tailor our programmes to your level, job and objectives. As native speakers, they will provide you with the cultural codes and skills to help you achieve complete mastery of the language – an essential step towards communicating with finesse, nuance and agility.

Our method prioritises oral communication to improve fluency in all contexts (meetings, presentations, online conferences, etc.) but our language coaches can adjust our programmes to suit your priorities. Our expertise and professionalism are guaranteed by various internationally recognised certifications and accreditations.
