Parlez-Vous Français Canadien?
5 Reasons to Learn French in Canada:
1. A whopping 30% of Canadians speak French, and many colleges and universities offer programs in both French and English. Why not take advantage of the opportunity to immerse yourself in a new language?
2. When else will you have such a great excuse to live in what is arguably one of Canada’s most exciting cities, Montréal? Alternatively, explore some of the unique, lesser-known cities of Québec (Canada’s main French-speaking province) or the other French-speaking populations scattered throughout Canada. Why not join British Columbia’s Franco-Columbian community or the Fransaskois of Saskatchewan?
3. French is spoken worldwide, and you’ll be able to show off your skills not only in France, but in French Guiana, West Africa, Belgium, and Madagascar! It will also help you land a great job with the United Nations, not to mention open a wealth of doors to other academic and research opportunities in French-speaking places. France is a world leader in the publication of scientific research papers.
4. Canada is home to a huge network of French language schools where you’ll meet international students from around the globe who have chosen warm, welcoming Canada as their home base for learning the French language. Many of these schools teach both French and English, if you’re up for the challenge of tackling both languages during your Canadian adventure.
5. In addition to private language schools, most French-speaking colleges and universities in Canada provide pathway programs to help ease your transition into a French academic environment. You’ll learn the language with other students and be able to start university classes together in no time at all.
