Cours de civilisation française de la Sorbonne

Taking the Français des affaires course at La Sorbonne with Monsieur FESQUET was truly one of the highlights of my time in Paris. As someone who already had a solid foundation in French grammar, I was looking for a program that would not only refine my language skills but also help me better understand the professional and cultural codes of doing business in France. This course exceeded all my expectations. M. FESQUET is a highly experienced and engaging instructor who brings a wealth of real-world knowledge into the classroom. Under his guidance, we explored topics such as how to communicate effectively in a French business context, the expectations and nuances of professional etiquette, and how French workplace culture compares to other countries. From writing formal emails and analyzing case studies to understanding negotiation strategies and corporate structures, every class was practical and intellectually stimulating. One of the most valuable aspects of the course was the group dynamic. The class was composed of a truly diverse mix of nationalities, ages, and professional backgrounds, which created rich discussions and helped us all learn from each other. It was the perfect environment for expanding both linguistic and intercultural competence. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants more than just textbook grammar. Whether you're planning to work in France, collaborate with French-speaking clients, or simply understand how the professional world functions in a francophone setting, Français des affaires at La Sorbonne is an excellent choice.

I am from Mexico and I had always dreamt about learning French and visiting Paris, thanks to this program I was able to live in the city of my dreams while I was studying this beautiful languange. I had great teachers, I had the opportunity to attend to very interesting conferences in which I learnt more about French culture and I made some good friends with whom I still talk from time to time. Being a student in this program allowed me to get a student visa and to access all the benefits that the French goverment provides for students: social security, access to university restaurants, aid for paying my rent... At the end of the program I was able to get the DELF B2. It was a beautiful experience for me and thanks to what I learnt I was able to get a job as French teacher here in my country.

J’ai eu le plaisir de suivre le cours de Français des affaires à l’automne dernier, et j’en garde un très bon souvenir. Notre professeur, Monsieur Fesquet, était toujours respectueux et attentif. Il partageait avec nous non seulement des connaissances du language professionnel, mais aussi des éléments de la vie quotidienne en France, ce qui rendait le cours vivant et enrichissant. J’ai apprécié les exposés : ils demandaient du temps, mais permettaient d’explorer des sujets actuels et culturels, tout en améliorant l’expression orale. J’ai également trouvé très utile l’apprentissage de la rédaction de lettres formelles, un aspect essentiel de la communication en France, souvent négligé dans d’autres cours. Le cours m’a permis d’élargir mon vocabulaire et de revoir des points importants de grammaire. De plus, nous avions un groupe d’étudiants formidable, avec une ambiance bienveillante dans laquelle je me suis sentie très à l’aise. Seul point à noter : le niveau annoncé à l’inscription était B1, mais en réalité, le contenu correspond plutôt à un niveau C1. Cela peut être un défi pour certains, surtout au début.
