Overview:

In this elementary French course, we will first meet 3 times a week for three weeks at UVM in Burlington, in order to prepare ourselves for the Montréal experience. We will then meet 5 times a week for 2 weeks in a classroom from the UQAM University in downtown Montréal, where you will continue to enhance your French conversation and writing skills every morning. In the afternoon, you will discover and enjoy Montréal, one of the most cosmopolitan and safest places in the world. You will get swept up in the frenzy of world-renowned festivals and cultural events that are rife throughout the city all summer long, and enjoy access to UQAM's friendly and modern campus, along with the other 60,000 university students year round, all in the heart of downtown Montréal. It is well known that mastering a second language requires an approach that goes beyond the classroom. That is why our summer course promotes a wide variety of outings and activities, all designed to enrich and further your language skills, while you discover Montréal.
