Language support for life transitions.

Embarking on a personal, family or career adventure? Need language support for your new life? This class provides language-related orientation for life in a new city or new language. Content and coaching will focus on accents, typical expressions and survival in a new work culture or social culture. Plus, if you need to prepare for a job interview or a standardized language test – for immigration, a professional order, university entrance – just ask us for support!

These classes are offered for French, English, Spanish or other languages upon request.

The Programs

Take language lessons with a fully customized program (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, expressions, verb tenses), adding options to learn about local realities and navigate local systems. Our teachers can help you prepare for and survive your first weeks: job interviews, accommodations, meeting a new work team, key landmarks and place names, culture, local history, getting around, socializing and business networking, local work habits, city visit, typical expressions, navigating accents, and common socio-linguistic mannerisms.

Add a city visit, multi-teacher social experience or linguistic culture-boost capsule to your base program!

  • Incoming to Montreal, Quebec, Canada: Perfect for new arrivals or new hires. Learn in-and-around Montreal/Québec or from afar before your arrival.
  • Outgoing to Australia, France, Central America, and more! Heading on a new adventure in a new land? Spruce up your language skills and discover fun new ways to communicate with locals.

Combine your program with our Audio Lessons to develop your vocabulary, accent and fluency before arrival, in transit, or while you recover from the jetlag!
