Can anyone help me, I have moved to the area of Quebec with my husband and I do not know French, I have tried to attend the school where I am with people who can speak the language teacher has me reading the dictionary from four to five hours a day. I can not learning in this way and I think that Quebec can not find a school that is for adults who can not speak French and want to learn. I know I have a immersion classes for newcomers to Canada, but the government will not let me attend this class because I'm a Canadian, though I have lived most of my life in the U.S. Please any help, I am ready to resign and leave Quebec! live on the outskirts of Montreal. Hey Leanne you can send me an email so you can get that information. My email is bella4169 thanks. Thanks Julie I will call the school today. Thanks for the website address! Wish me luck!

Hello! They also live in Quebec, a French-speaking city and French is my first language. First, as someone said, reading the dictionary will not help you learn the language. Have you considered the possibility private lessons? It really helps when someone just needs to concentrate on their difficulties in making progress. Watching television in French is also a good thing, although it may be frustrating not understanding what people say, at least hear some French. Occasionally, a movie in English with French subtitles, or vice versa. even a film in French with subtitles in French is a good way of Lear, one can see and hear! Search for language schools and discussion groups in the phone book. Oh, reading the paper could also be good. Eventually, you will be able to recognize most often the words used. Do you live near Montreal? From the city of Quebec? Go see the university web sites around, most of them have programs in French as second language.
