Abstract

Breakthrough Business French is the ideal course for business people who have little or no previous knowledge of French. Here are some of its main features: The key recordings have been made on location in French companies. The starting point for each unit is conversations and interviews with French people employed in a range of jobs. The language and the situations are, therefore, authentic — you are taken from boardrooms to the factory floor, from commercial exhibitions to banks financing small businesses. Business people have lives outside their jobs, and care is taken to provide training in the language which will help you to survive in hotels, restaurants and on the streets of France as well as in companies. The main emphasis throughout is on listening, speaking and reading -the skills you will find most useful in contacts with the French business world. Before producing the course, we talked to hundreds of people about how they learn languages. The result is that great care has been taken with the Breakthrough Business series to ensure that you get enough opportunities to practise the language. We have included in each unit a variety of activities that get you involved in using the French that has been introduced to you in the authentic dialogues.
