When relocating employees, do you ensure expat partner integration is going smoothly ? Have you noticed how a difficult integration can affect an expatriate’s performance and overall well-being? Many companies invest in language training for employees, and their partners, but these trainings are not tailored to their specific needs.
They need to be able to speak quickly, understand people on the phone, read their invoices, or doctor’s prescription, and how to react to a problem with their neigh-bors…
Absolutely French is a unique school, dedicated to them only!
You know that an unhappy partner can lead to a failed expatriation, resulting in premature departures and high costs. What if you could offer a solution that ensures both the expatriate and their partner thrive?
Absolutely French was created to redefine language learning and make expatriation a smoother, more enriching journey. Our founder, Armelle Perben, who, having been an expat spouse in seven countries, is an expert in expatriation and cultural integration, developed a unique teaching method that combines language immersion, real-life scenarios, and community building.
From cooking classes and city tours to practical workshops, we help expat partners gain confidence, autonomy, and a sense of belonging in France—ensuring a successful relocation for the whole family.
We also truly trust that each expat partner is a talent, as Armelle often says 😀, ‘Talent Marries Talent.’ and we focus on their professional development (We explain how later!).
The courses we offer have been designed to meet the needs of companies. For example, the training for impatriates has been developed in partnership with Air Liquide, while the training for spouses of impatriates has been developed in partnership with L’Oréal.
Empowered and fulfilled spouses save time for your team. They will be autonomous quicker!
Our learning-by-doing methodology transforms language acquisition into an engaging, fun, and effective experience. Forget traditional classes—speak, live, and experience French through interactive sessions, games, and real-world activities.
Expat life can feel lonely. That’s why we created the Club Absolutely, where expat partners can connect, share experiences, and build a support network that lasts beyond the classroom. We have a “Community Manager”, Mauro, whor organised evenings twice a month, and professional workshops every wednesday morning (with APEC, Linkedin, Evolussens… our partners)
Speaking French is just one step. We help them navigate French culture, daily life, and administrative processes so they can feel at home in no time—reducing stress and enhancing well-being.
To suit all needs, we offer classes to people of all French levels, from beginners all the way to advanced.
The FLE (French as a Foreign Language) courses take place from 10am to 3pm or from 6pm to 8pm/9pm on weekdays.
Small groups (max. 7 participants) for personalized learning.
Hands-on learning: Games, cooking, city tours, and real-life situations.
Flexible schedules: Intensive (10h/week) or semi-intensive (2h30/week) formats.
No classes during school holidays, making it perfect for families.
Access to our e-learning platform to reinforce learning at their own pace.
Exclusive Slack community for daily practice and peer support.
We go beyond language learning. Absolutely Talented Career Fair is the first career fair for expat spouses. We help expat partners relaunch their careers in France, whether through job search guidance, networking opportunities, or entrepreneurial support.
