With globalisation, speaking a foreign language is a real asset for moving forward in your career. But between a packed schedule and little time, taking French lessons can feel like a challenge.
The good news: there is a targeted, effective, short-term way to refresh your French to fit your needs. Here is why an intensive online course is the best option.
Key takeaways
- Intensive online courses can be taken from home or work, with no travel.
- A private lesson adapts to your needs, unlike a group of 20 people.
- You book lessons between 5am and 11:30pm, 7 days a week, and reschedule easily.
- You can stack several lessons in the same week to meet a deadline.
- For an intensive over several days, two teachers offer complementary approaches.

The advantages in detail
1. Learning online, without constraints
To learn the basics of French when you have little time, an online course is the most effective way. You study from home or work, without wasting time travelling to a school, and without sitting through standard teaching designed for groups of 20 people.
2. Truly personalised support
Schools form level-based classes, but a class is rarely homogeneous: some are comfortable speaking, others writing, others with grammar. In a private lesson, you browse the list of teachers, see their profiles, and progress with the ones who suit you, in a fully personalised way.
3. Booking on your terms
With Live French, you get a Member Area to choose your teacher and book lessons between 5am and 11:30pm, 7 days a week. Need 10 lessons in one week before working with a French client? It is possible. A meeting comes up at the wrong time? You cancel and reschedule your lesson without any trouble.
4. Studying with two teachers
For an intensive over several days or weeks, we recommend studying with two teachers. You benefit from different, complementary approaches, you review certain topics from a new angle, and you have a wider choice of time slots to book.
Tip: Before an intensive, set a concrete deadline (a trip, a client, an exam) and tell your teachers. They will calibrate the content so you are ready on the day.
