French

Did you know that there are almost 8 million French speakers in Canada? Although approximately 85% of them live in Quebec, there are over a million who reside in other parts of the country, which means if you live in Canada, you probably come into contact with the language on a daily basis.

Knowledge of another language can boost your career and provide valuable insight into cultural differences. International House Vancouver language courses will help you build a strong foundation and develop fluency in modern languages so you can converse easily with native speakers.

Our regular program is based on the four components of Conversa’s communicative approach to language training. Conversation is practiced at each class. Participants practice what is required to say in day-to-day situations and hold conversations with each other.

BLI French courses focus on developing the four main language skills:  speaking, reading, listening and writing with the correct use of grammar structures, vocabulary, and phonetics. BLI offers a wide variety of language programs to suit the needs of every learner.

Our French curriculum does not only satisfy the Quebec Ministry of Education’s requirements for effective oral and written communication but our courses go beyond spelling, grammar and syntax by imparting knowledge on Quebec’s culture.
