Language school Lyon, ESL - École Suisse de Langues

Combine the best of Lyon with excellent quality language training.

At ESL-Lyon, the one-to-one Business French classes are especially designed for executives and professionals. Whatever your language knowledge and your specific objectives, the dynamism and experience of the teachers will be used in the service of your particular objectives. These specific and very intensive programmes will allow you to increase, in a minimum amount of time, your ability to communicate in the specific context of your profession, but also in the more informal setting of daily discussions. Communicating on the telephone, writing an e-mail, presenting a company project, speakingin public, all of this will become child’s play…et en français s’il vous plaît! During your language training stay in Lyon, you will rub shoulders with other professionals from different backgrounds, providing you with an excellent opportunity to develop your network of contacts and to share unforgettable moments exploring one of the most beautiful cities in France. The « executive » courses are open throughout the year. They may take place in our course centre in Lyon (at the heart of the city).Nevertheless, during the high season periods (April, July, August and October), the classes will take place either in the host family’s home, or the hotel, according to the accommodation option you will have chosen.
