French for holidays and travel
Whether you’re planning a weekend in Paris, a summer in the Dordogne or regular visits to a holiday home in France, conversational French makes every trip more enjoyable.
We can practise everyday situations such as shopping, dining, asking for directions and chatting with local residents. And if you own a home in France, lessons can cover the conversations that really matter: tradespeople, neighbours, the mairie and local services.
Lingfield sits right on the Sussex border, a short drive from our Forest Row base, which makes face-to-face lessons practical by arrangement.
