French for international organization staff

Working life in Geneva runs mostly in English, until French is needed: a meeting with local partners, a message from the authorities, a conversation in the corridor. These lessons prepare you for those moments.

Where French comes up

With local partners

Meetings and calls with Swiss and French counterparts, hosts and service providers.

In writing

Emails, short notes and forms, with the right level of formality.

In daily life

The paperwork that comes with a posting, such as residence, insurance and housing. See French for settling in Geneva.

Alongside your organization's courses

If your organization already offers French courses, private lessons add speaking time on your own situations, at times that suit you. We work with your real material: an agenda, a draft, a message you have to answer.

I worked in administration at CERN and as Facilities and Logistics Coordinator at EFTA, so I know how international organizations in Geneva work. See professional French for the full picture.

For several colleagues

Organizations and missions can arrange lessons for a team. See the page for organizations.
