Learn French in the UK
french courses in England with Cactus Language Training

French is one of the most commonly learned foreign languages, and it’s easy to see why. Often described as the 'language of love', the very sound of this soft and rhythmic language can transport you straight to the heart of Provence. That said, French is also an important player in the international sphere of commerce and politics and as such can be a very useful language to know.

Cactus offers a variety of French courses to suit all needs and budgets. You can take a standard language course from 10 weeks or as little as one week intensive.

I have come across different grammatical structures, but am not confident of using them. I have a limited ability to communicate and find it difficult to understand the spoken language.
