Language Programs in Canada

I have 'studied' french in the classroom or with apps for years. I can conjugate the living daylights out of a verb...but I can"t communicate very well. Enter Edu Inter! While still a classroom setting, we spend most of our time in conversation with the Prof or the other students (we even go outside to chat with 'les Quebecois' too). Yes it was uncomfortable to speak, I made so many mistakes and it was at times embarrassing especially for a grown adult. But the placement test had me in the right class and after day 2 I began to relax my perfectionism and I started to embrace being a learner. I absolutely recommend this school for both teens and adults. You will not regret coming to Quebec City and Edu Inter to learn to speak french!!

I'm an adult student from Canada (Alberta, the other side of the country) who was at Edu-Inter for two weeks in July 2018 to improve my French. (I already have an Intermediate level DELF B2). I can't really speak to how this program is for the youth, though teens are the mainstay of their business, with students being about 80% youth to 20% adults (and not mixed). I must compliment Edu-Inter for a few things done well: the range and low cost of cultural, extra-curricular activities, including a great kayaking trip. The actual teaching is good (although yes, it is pretty worksheet-ish). I can't fault my individual instructors. The school site is a lovely, well located heritage building. However, they are so foolish to have this site as a summer school. It's not a space for learning, as it's far too hot with no air conditioning! July 2018 nobody could concentrate. The school admin. staff didn't seem to care; they just said that's the way it was and they limited the teachers to one barely-useful fan per classroom. It was so awful that I looked around for another school. Luckily I found one in Ecole Quebec Monde. Air conditioned and small class sizes. I learned more there in a week than I would have in three weeks at Edu-Inter. Also: be careful of additional surprise charges. Regarding housing, I signed up for a cheap University residence room, so I knew it would be small and simple. It was baking hot and unliveable. For my own health I had to leave and pay for several nights of a hotel room I had to organize myself, while the school figured out whether they could re-house me somewhere air conditioned. Happily they could. It was a lot of angst and wasted time in all. I was lucky I was able to do it all capably in French, with an adult's confidence, credit card and intolerance of b.s.
