Why Berlitz French works — from day one
Unlike recorded video lessons or language apps, Berlitz puts you in real French conversations with a live instructor immediately. No translation. No rote drilling. Just French — from your very first online session, wherever you are in Winnipeg or Manitoba. No commute required — ever.
Free French placement test
Your free 20-minute online placement test pinpoints your exact French level — A1 to C2. No time wasted on things you already know. Your programme starts at exactly the right place, whether you're a complete beginner or a returning learner aiming for an SLE designation, TEF Canada score, or immigration milestone.

Federal SLE exam for career advancement in Manitoba's public service? TEF Canada or TCF for immigration? Professional French for a bilingual workplace in government, healthcare, or education?

Talk to an advisor
I needed to pass the SLE in French to move into a bilingual federal role in Winnipeg. Every Berlitz session happened from my home — no commuting across the city, no disruption to family life. My instructor targeted exactly the oral component where I kept losing points. Fourteen weeks later I passed at B. The promotion came the following month.

With our intensive online programme (30–45 hours per week), most students move one full CEFR level in 8–10 weeks. With regular online sessions (approx. 4–5 h/week), the same progress typically takes 20–25 weeks. Private one-on-one sessions can significantly accelerate these timelines.
