| I like best... the chance to practice with real native speakers in an environment somewhat more structured than the 'real world'... Great atmosphere for language learning. Students are an interesting cosmopolitan mix. Teachers are great.

| Moi, c'est surtout pour apprendre les expressions, comment les gens parlent réellement... Avant, j'avais peur de parler en anglais: maintenant, j'ai pas peur! Les ateliers, ça m'a vraiment enlevé la barrière de parler anglais: pas juste apprendre la langue parce qu'il le faut, mais parce que j'ai le goût.

| I always refrain from speaking French in public as much as possible because I am a little embarrassed to speak it. I usually do not feel confident enough. This group, however, has allowed me to realize that I don't have to have perfect French. As long as my message gets across, that is the most important thing. Practising in a small group like this will enable me to feel more confident when the opportunity to speak French in public comes up... I like seeing the language barriers break. =) Thanks!

I can learn expressions not [taught] in my other classes... Your program is unique and ironically desperately needed in this city... Your Language Exchange Workshops have helped me to understand the common language spoken by the people of Montreal.

The topics in the workshops are thought-provoking and the participation and interaction of the group is very good! Both the Workshops and the Café linguistique are very effective and I have not been disappointed.

Cet atelier est très utile pour pratiquer
son anglais... On s'y sent à l'aise. Donc, on n'a
pas peur si l'on ne parle pas un anglais parfait.
On apprend beaucoup de vocabulaire, et surtout de
l'anglais 'colloquial'.

I've been telling all my friends: this is the best French I've ever had.

J'ai participé à plusieurs programmes d'échange linguistique à Montréal, celui-ci dépasse tous les autres.

Facilitator's role: 2 thumbs up! (Siskel & Ebert) A class act all the way! Outstanding!

| This is a brilliant idea. Most people who take
French courses don't have the chance to activate
their 12,000 conjugations. Here, it is possible -
and amongst such charming, interesting people!
