YOUR IDEAL LANGUAGE LEARNING MIX

About our course Legal French for lawyers.

BLCC developed the ‘French for Lawyers’ programme in collaboration with the Kortrijk Bar, the Veurne Bar, the Leuven Language Institute and KU Leuven Kulak’s Post University Centre.  This means the programme is perfectly suited to the requirements in legal practice.

In the course, you look at specific legal areas in depth, for example, criminal law, property law, civil law, and the law of persons and family. In addition to your language trainer, you will also have access to specialist e-learning modules.

    Could this be for you?

    You are or are training to be a lawyer in a law firm, company lawyer, notary, legal assistant, legal administrative officer, compliance officer, civil servant, social worker, or you are a student studying Legal Practice or Law. You are a wizard with legal jargon, but not (yet) when it’s in French!

    You already have command of French to a good intermediary level. That means you speak effortlessly and can function well in a range of situations. But you lack the necessary legal terminology to do your job in French with the same impact as in your native language. You would like to use more nuances when communicating with clients. You still find legal texts difficult sometimes. You also want to give a lucid explanation of their contents to your clients.

TESTIMONIALS

What our clients, trainers and trainees say.

As a Happiness Officer at X2O my responsibilities include finding the right training solutions for my colleagues. As X2O is currently rapidly expanding in Belgium and abroad, I contacted BLCC to help me organise language courses via Cevora. I decided to take a French course myself too, since I haven't used French in my career over the past years, which makes it difficult to communicate with my French-speaking employees. My training went very well. My teacher really makes an effort to understand my professional context and to support me in how to deal with specific cases in French.
Finding the right training solutions for the growing team of X2O
I was looking for a course that focused on speaking, in the sales context rather than general speaking skills. BLCC listened perfectly to my specific requirements. The trainer was very knowledgeable.
A language course that focused on speaking.
I have regular lessons via Skype and I’m already reaping benefits from those lessons.  I recently advanced one level. My French has genuinely improved: I notice the difference in my contact with colleagues, clients and journalists. I’d give BLCC an 11 out of 10!
I’m already reaping benefits from those lessons.
I feel much more comfortable now when on the phone. I can express myself more fluently in French as well when giving presentations and I no longer worry so much about the mistakes I make.

Sandra's online classes were exceptionally organized and well-prepared. Despite my expectations of slow progress, I noticed significant improvement with my commitment. Sandra's teaching style is amazing, making each lesson a highly anticipated event in my week. Her constant interaction was crucial for my progress, as self-study is challenging for me. The didactic material was clear, structured, and perfectly adapted to my level. I have no adjustments to suggest at this time. I highly recommend Sandra's course for a dynamic and motivating French learning experience.
