“Everyone is very friendly, they care about your immersion in the Canadian language and culture. The initial orientation was excellent, the classes are good and the administrative assistance is always willing to help you. I would definitely recommend GV to my friends and family.”
“I would have liked more activities after class to help us continue practicing the language.”
Insider tip: “They provide you with the material, photocopies or printed exercises. It is good to consider a folder with dividers. And perhaps an English dictionary.”
