In times of global uncertainty, many of us face unforeseen challenges that can impact our personal and professional lives. I understand this firsthand. In 2018, as Brexit unfolded, my British husband found himself unemployed just before the birth of our son. This period tested our resilience and highlighted the importance of adaptability. Through dedication, he achieved a B2 level in French, which paved the way for both French citizenship and his Swiss Permis C.
The Power of Language in Securing Your Future
Mastering French is more than just learning a language; it's about opening doors to new opportunities and ensuring stability in Switzerland. Achieving a B2 level in French is often a prerequisite for many professional roles and residency statuses. As we've experienced personally, and as many of our clients can attest, investing in your French skills is a strategic move toward a more secure future.

Prêt à Parler exceeded all my expectations. I decided to strengthen my French skills and got 5 classes of one-to-one coaching before my Swiss fide exam. My Super Prof was extremely attentive, listened to my needs, adjusted her style, and gave amazing tips & tricks for how to handle fide exams.

The whole learning experience for me was comfortable. My Super Prof walked me through one of the reading and writing scenarios, and I was able to use my time very efficiently during my fide exam because I was already familiar with the format. My investment in paying for the private lessons has absolutely paid off.

I've been an on-and-off student with Prêt à Parler for several years, and I'd highly recommend them. I started before I moved to Genève, and the assistance was invaluable. Later, I enrolled in intensive daily French lessons locally, but continued with a lesson each week with Prêt à Parler to dive deeper on questions I had with the intensive French. Super Profs Brice and Marjolaine are AMAZING, and I've enjoyed every lesson I've had with both. If you're on the fence, I would absolutely recommend trying them out with a trial lesson; you won't regret it.

French lessons with Prêt à Parler is the right choice if you need flexibility, if you want to adapt the class to meet your exact needs, and if you want to enjoy your class! Following the recent birth of my child, I contacted Prêt à Parler because I had to prepare for an important job interview in French. Not only did my Super Prof prepare me well for the interview with regards to the language requirements, but she also acted as a coach, motivating me and building my self-confidence over the 10 classes we had together. The best thing? I finally got the job I was aiming for!
