In Montreal, one of Canada's most beautiful cities, you can combine serious study with serious relaxation. Montreal is big enough to offer the attractions of city life, but small enough to include the many splendors of Canada: mountains, rivers, lakes and countryside.

This program is ideal for someone who wants a short refreshing break or who wants to concentrate on a particular topic. It is equally suitable for someone who wants to spend a longer period of time becoming completely confident in the language and substantially raising their language level .

This course is for people who have never been exposed to the English Language. It has a special approach to eliminate the fear of the unknown, and familiarize the student with basic vocabulary. Less complex pieces of language for listening and reading comprehension are introduced to the participant, and the general characteristics of the language are taught so that he or she can move with confidence to the next level. The student is also trained in the basics of English pronunciation. This course can be taken as an entry to the standard course.
Whatever your level of the spoken language, writing it is a different matter requiring special skills. In this course you will look at different styles of writing and their uses, expressing yourself clearly and accurately, organizing your work logically and producing documents which are easy to follow and achieve the desired results. You will work on a variety of documents including letters, memos, reports and e-mails. This course can be combined with the oral course, or added as a module to longer courses.
Do you have special requirements? Do you require individual attention? Are you short of time and want to concentrate intensively with your teacher assistance? Or do you want to combine improving your language skills with exploring the delights of Montreal and its environment, or skiing, sailing or improving your golf? Whatever your reason, one-to-one training gives you the advantage of having your training and leisure time activities tailored to your needs. Why not combine your training with taking in one of Montreal's festivals (Jazz? Just for Laughs?) or spending your afternoons or weekends on the ski slope?
