Do you like coming to France but you do not speak French?

Do you already have knowledge of the language and you want to improve it?

Do you need someone to “do the talking for you”?

Would you like to do an intensive language course, and at the same time visit some of the cultural, historical and
gastronomical delights that the Lot and the Dordogne departments offer?

Let us take the stress out of some of your everyday life whilst in France.

If you are looking at this page, the chances are you are in a similar position to ours a couple of years ago. The dream of a life in France and making that dream a reality. When we made that move we did it knowing that Rachel is a fluent French speaker who has spent a few years living in the country already. Everyone knows that France , for all of its good points, is a land which has perfected the art of bureaucracy, or would it better be called a science?

Whichever, speaking the lingo helped make our dream a reality. From initial property purchase and contractual documents to getting an email address and telecom connection, being able to communicate with the service providers helps enormously. We know some people who spent an entire day in a France Telecom office trying to find someone who spoke English, just so that they could arrange an email address. If you are like the many British people who come to live in France and live out their dream but do not speak French, then let us take the stress and waiting out of some of your transactions. Call us to see how we may be able to help.
