Our Summer Gathering at L’Atelier

Over 40 students and teachers filled our office at L’Atelier for a summer evening of French, from 5 to 8 PM. Students met their teachers outside the classroom, made new friends, and practiced their French over snacks and drinks. Three hours flew by, with name tags, conversation and a lot of laughter. We closed the night with a big group photo, French and Canadian flags in hand.

Featured on Radio-Canada

When Radio-Canada calls, you say yes. Our Growth Director Aurélie Halimi joined Mireille Langlois on the Culture et Confiture show to talk about what makes Learn French Canada different, and why we won the Palme Bleue, Entreprise en Croissance. She shared the method that takes students from zero to CLB 7 in 12 months, and the people behind it: 16 native teachers building real connections, class after class.

A Free French Class at Surrey City Centre Library

The Surrey City Centre Library hosted us for a free French class, and Surrey showed up. Students tried their first sentences out loud, asked every question they had about the TEF and learning with us, and shared French pastries between exercises. We loved the energy so much that we are planning an in-person space in Surrey soon. À bientôt, Surrey !

French Evening at L'Atelier Vancouver

What a night! Our students gathered at L’Atelier Vancouver in Gastown for an evening of French conversation, laughter, and real connection. From first-time speakers to confident conversationalists, everyone jumped in, practicing with their teachers and meeting classmates from other levels. The best part? Students leaving with new friendships and one question on everyone’s lips: “When’s the next one?” À la prochaine !

Bienvenue à Victoria

A double celebration in February: the official launch of Learn French in Victoria, and an incredible 2025, the year the school grew 3x. We met our TEF students at Café Fantastico, coffee and croissants in hand, practicing French ahead of their exam at Alliance Française the following week. We also set our 2026 vision together with the team.

La Galette des Rois: Celebrating French Tradition with our Teachers

Our team and teachers came together to celebrate one of France’s most loved traditions: La Galette des Rois. Every January, the French share a puff pastry filled with almond cream. Whoever finds the hidden fève becomes king or queen for the day, paper crown included. Culture, connection, and a little bit of sweetness, the French way.

Surrounded by teapots and mini pastries, we toasted the team that makes it all happen.

Great event! I was able to get my questions answered and learn more about the courses. The team was friendly, informative, and answered everything very well.

I attended the first in-person event from Learn French yesterday in Calgary, and it was such a great experience! The teachers, Clelia and Aurelie, were absolutely amazing — incredibly friendly, approachable, patient, and genuinely eager to help everyone feel comfortable and welcomed. They took the time to clearly explain the program and methodology, while making sure every question was answered thoughtfully. They also walked us through the class investment structure and shared some special discounts, which everyone was very excited to hear about. I’m really looking forward to starting my classes and seeing the Learn French Calgary community continue to grow. Excited to meet new people and make new French-speaking friends along the way! 🇫🇷😊

I am extremely satisfied with my French lessons and truly appreciate the quality of teaching. From the very first class, it was clear that Anne is not only knowledgeable but also very passionate about helping students improve. The lessons are always well organized, engaging, and adapted to my level and learning goals. What I value the most is the supportive and comfortable atmosphere during the classes. The teacher is very patient, explains concepts clearly, and always encourages me to speak and practice the language as much as possible. Mistakes are corrected in a constructive and encouraging way, which helps me gain more confidence in speaking French. The classes are dynamic and interesting, with a good balance between conversation, vocabulary, and grammar. I particularly enjoy the discussions, which help me improve my fluency and express myself more naturally. Thanks to these lessons, I genuinely feel that I am making strong progress. I highly recommend this teacher to anyone who wants to improve their French in a professional, motivating, and enjoyable learning environment.

I’m currently taking a 6-month French course in an in-person, group setting, and the experience has been excellent. Our teacher, Maï, is thorough and explains concepts clearly, making them easy to understand and apply. I’ve learned a lot so far, especially with pronunciation and basic conversational French. She creates a positive and supportive atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable participating and feels heard. I always look forward to class and would highly recommend her course to anyone wanting to learn French.
