What our students said about Montreal

I'm definitely in love with this city. However, having travelled along the Saint Lawrence two years ago, I found the people more friendly. But after all, Montreal is a capital, so maybe the people aren't as friendly... like in Paris ;) Otherwise, I also noticed that the boulevard Saint Laurent was to be avoided, if you didn't want to run into people ‘hanging around’ in the streets... Climate-wise, it was so hot and heavy this summer! Despite these points, Montreal is still my favourite city at the moment!

    Andy Fukutome, LanguageCourse.Net - Jun 16, 2023
  • If you are looking for a junior French course in Quebec, I can recommend you the Bouchereau Lingua International school. The course is all inclusive (course+activities+accommodation).
    Sawsan Zein, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 26, 2023
  • There is only limited information available for College Platon in Montreal. English courses for this language school cannot be booked through our website because we no longer work with this school. The information is provided to guide our visitors to the full range of language course options available in Montreal.
    Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 30, 2023

  • In Montreal we work with several French schools for children and teenagers, but none of them accept such young students.
    Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 16, 2023
  • The schools accept students of all ages from 16-18 years old. There is no age limit. Groups are organized according to level, not age.
    Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 14, 2022
  • You can see from the section above the courses "School also offers to learn", you can see other language courses that the school offers.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about French courses in Montreal

  • At the moment, we do not have any partner schools in Montreal offering this language. However, if you are interested in a language stay abroad, Italy would be the best option. Our best destinations are Rome, Florence, Milan, Bologna, Naples.
    Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 17, 2023
  • Depending on how long you want to stay in Canada, you will have to apply for a Visitor Visa (up to 6 months) or a Study Permit (over 6 months). We do not assist with this but we recommend you to get in touch with the Canadian embassy to have more information.
