Frequently Asked Questions

  • Trade In French™ is a strategic coaching solution developed by TERMINO CONSULTING to help organizations operate more effectively in French‑speaking markets. The program equips teams with the cultural intelligence, communication frameworks, and market‑specific insights needed to navigate French‑language business environments with confidence. Rather than traditional language lessons, it focuses on the real dynamics that shape cross‑border business—professional norms, negotiation styles, sector‑specific terminology, and the cultural expectations that influence trade, logistics, and international partnerships.

  • Picture yourself in a high‑stakes negotiation with the French Rooster of Wall Street. The room is tense, the clock is ticking, and suddenly he leans back and says, “Alright… now sell me this pen — in French.”

    Could you pull it off? Yes? No? Somewhere in between?

    Start by purchasing a French Level Assessment on the Products page. It’s a written test — no hidden sales pitch, no tricks. Just a clean, honest look at where you stand and how we can help you sharpen your communication for real‑world business situations across The New Francophone Frontier.

  • AI can give you generic information about French‑speaking markets or help you speak French in a robotic way, but it can’t replace the lived experience of professionals who have actually worked within those cultures. Algorithms surface data; people who’ve operated in these environments understand the nuances behind it — the communication styles, expectations, and unwritten norms that shape how interactions unfold. If all you need is general knowledge, AI can provide that. But if you want to communicate in a way that feels natural, credible, and culturally aligned, you need insights grounded in real‑world experience, not just information pulled from open sources.

  • You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email (contact@tradeinfrench.com). We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

  • Pricing is straightforward and organized into four learning pathways. After your assessment, you’ll unlock coaching options tailored to your goals. For on‑demand services, you’ll receive a custom quote based on your needs and the scope of your request.

  • Collaborative, candid, and straightforward. The process stays structured, ideas flow freely, and momentum stays strong from start to finish.
