So when you buy a course with us, you don't just tap into local knowledge - you get the best the UK has to offer. 😊

Alliance Française de Manchester are proud to support the 10th edition of the Beyond Babel Festival! 😎

Demain / Tomorrow is an uplifting French documentary that shifts the focus from climate crisis to possibility. Co‑directed by Mélanie Laurent and Cyril Dion, the film travels across ten countries to showcase bold, real‑world solutions in agriculture, energy, education, economics, and democratic innovation.

An inspiring film, in French, complete with a hosted Q&A.

Did you know we do French courses for business too? 🤨

Whether you're after industry-specific vocabulary, ensuring your team knows the basics of French contracting, or wanting to prep your team ready for a client pitch, we can help.

It was our pleasure this week to present how learning French can help build trust with clients - and Myriam did a wonderful piece on intercultural differences between UK and French professionals.
