Testimonies

Incredible program! I spent only a week here but I wish I could stay longer.

The staff were very transparent and friendly from the start. They offered tons of reading material to prepare me for not only the program but also Quebec City. I was given a written test to determine my level prior to arrival.

On my first day, the students were greeted at the school entrance and given orientation by the founder and director of of school. I was given an oral test to confirm and/or adjust my level. Then I was placed in the appropriate class.

My class was amazing! I loved the teacher, Paola, who was warm, fun, engaging, and knowledgeable. She kept a high bar and ensured we all had the opportunity to speak, participate, and practice the language. The games were all very fun and reinforced very well the grammatical concepts. My only regret is that I did not book a longer session. I will be back one day!

I found the in-person immersion French language class (level A0) at Edu-inter very helpful in developing French language skills. Starting with no French at all, I was able to construct simple 3 to 5 word sentences after 2 weeks of intensive learning and practice. This included videos, readings, simulations and regular in class practice sessions after each learning module. I also had a good teacher Mr. Jefferson that worked with me and the other students (there were only 6 of us). There was very little English spoken in the class from day one and the teacher was very patient and made sure we all understood each step of the learning. C’est un bon cours!!

What a wonderful experience to go back to school as an adult and improve my French! Anne Marie is a gifted teacher who used a wide variety of activities to make learning fun!! I was fortunate to stay with a host family that was cheerful and happy to have me stay with them!! I can’t wait to come back!!

Develop your reading, writing, speaking, and comprehension skills in the morning and in the afternoon, receive professional music training and take advantage of the soundproof rooms to practice.

The program is designed for students who already have a background in music.
