Speak English 15 - Part-time morning

I particularly liked that I worked with a different instructor each week allowing me to adapt to different approaches to language instruction and learning. I was thus required to adapt and listen to different pronunciation of French which allowed me to expand my listening skills. Each instructor tracked my development and was able to track my progress and language needs from week to week. I found the location of CLC both close to my work and home and therefore it was very convenient to attend classes. I chose to have private lessons and therefore was able to gear my learning to my personal needs (I was preparing for the French exam given by the Office). Private classes also allowed me to change the day and time of my classes when my work schedule required to be at work on a particular day. Each instructor provided engaging exercises geared to my level and needs. Often, it was hard to believe that the time for my 1 hour lesson had already elapsed.

I sometimes found the acoustics of the rooms challenging for listening. The open concept room set-up sometimes creates a noisy and distracting listening situation particularly for language learning. Such a set-up could be particularly hard for students who have a hearing loss, attention deficit, language processing difficulties, etc.

Its just amazing how we learned French. I will never regret the time I spent in CLC. Time learning is always time well invested.
The teachers in CLC were amazingly patient and understanding. We highly recommend it.

CLC ended up becoming more than a school to me and was the key to a whole new network of international friends.

I was really happy choosing CLC as my French language school in Montreal.

As promoted, the class sizes were small, usually no more than eight. The interactive nature of lessons means students develop communication skills, speaking and listening, rather than just the theory of written French.

While grammar is covered, the classes encourage engagement especially with written assignments to read in class. This is when you really get to learn more about others and their life circumstances in Montreal, leading to solid friendships.

Teachers and staff at CLC were professional, friendly, kind and patient which creates a warm atmosphere and helps the learning process!

It's a high quality school with good outcomes - my French progressed more than I anticipated and the tea time sessions where you can speak with others learning the language was also a great help!

Thank you CLC!

CLC is a very unique and special place for language learning. They take on a very community based approach with teachers who are friendly and knowledgeable. The lessons were short and succinct but also fun and revolved around each student's particular needs. They were also wonderful at introducing new arrivals to the area and try to have everyone in the school, no matter which language they are learning, to meet and mingle. Overall this school is a great place to improve your skills or practice new ones, you feel automatically at home.

1. About our class: we had a small class so each of us had the opportunity to practice English, and our teachers have enough time to correct our mistakes.

2. About our teachers: Each of our teacher's mother tongue is English so we can learn authentic English, our teacher was so kind, one of my grammar teachers invited me to his house to cook.

3. We had a lot of social activities, most of the activities were in contact with local residents, so it provided us a good platform to exercise our oral language.
