What our students said about Quebec
One of the least stressful places to visit as a tourist. The whole city is very friendly to tourists and the old city can easily be explored for weeks on foot. Plenty of reasonably priced entertainments and cultural attractions.

Québec City is a 100% francophone city, the best place to learn and live in French!

The school is excellent, I had a very successful course. The employees are all friendly and warm and there is a pleasant atmosphere. Thanks to a very small learning group (3 people) and an attentive and knowledgeable teacher, I was able to make good progress.

Overall the experience was superior to anything I had imagined. The only drawback was that the overall price was higher than I was expecting as the way I had originally calculated the cost from the website prior to contacting you appeared lower. I wasn’t expecting transfer fees and a carbon tax as additional charges. I think you need to say on the website that there are additional fees beyond the teaching contract.

The staff were friendly and helpful; class was a lot of fun (of course a bit overwhelming at first) and my teacher did a great job making us feel at ease and encouraging us. I was able to obtain an OPUS card (bus) at the student pricing thanks to the student card BLI provided. The "5 a 7"s were a great time and opportunity to meet fellow students in a relaxed atmosphere outside of the school and also a good opportunity to practice the French we
Great resource to use when trying to pick up a new language in a foreign city!

Good location.
I went over the Christmas break, which had the advantage of being quiet (so I got more time with the teachers), but it was socially a bit too quiet. No complaints, but in future I would probably go at another time of year.
