Student Story · Toronto, ON
★★★★★

I needed French to qualify for a senior federal position in Toronto. I walked into the Berlitz centre on Adelaide Street with zero French. Fourteen weeks later I passed my SLE at B. The centre is two minutes from my office via the PATH — I did sessions over lunch three times a week. It fit perfectly into my day.

Is the consultation really free? What does it involve?
