Why Berlitz Online French works
from day one
Unlike recorded video lessons or 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 Canada.
Meet your Berlitz advisor
A free 20-minute call with a Berlitz advisor is all it takes to map out your starting point. No test, no pressure — just a real conversation about where you are in French, what you need, and where you want to get to. Your advisor then builds a programme around your goals, your schedule, and your province.
A French plan built for your goals
Bill 96 compliance deadline? TEF Canada or TEFAQ exam coming up? Career advancement in a bilingual workplace? Relocating to Québec? Your advisor designs a custom online French learning path around your specific outcome — private 1-on-1, small group, or intensive formats available.
Speak French — fast
Live immersive sessions with native-fluent instructors, from your home, office, or anywhere with an internet connection. Real conversations. Progress tracked at every session. Plus access to self-study materials between classes so your French keeps moving even when you're not live. Most students reach conversational French in 8–14 weeks.

Talk to an advisor
I needed French for a federal government position and had six months to get to B2. I did every session from my home in Toronto — no commute, no disruption to my work schedule. Berlitz got me there in 14 weeks. I passed my language evaluation on the first try.
Online French courses in Canada — your questions answered
Everything you need to know before booking your free online French consultation with Berlitz Canada.
Your live online French sessions take place via a secure video platform with a certified Berlitz instructor. Sessions are fully immersive — you speak French from the very first lesson, with no translation or grammar-first approach. Between sessions, you have access to self-study materials to reinforce what you've learned. Everything is scheduled around your availability, and you can attend from anywhere in Canada with an internet connection.
Not at all. We welcome complete beginners (A1) through to advanced speakers (C1+). During your free consultation call, a Berlitz advisor will assess your level through conversation and recommend the right starting point. Whether you've never studied French or want to refine professional-level fluency, your programme starts exactly where you are.
Yes — this is one of our most requested online programmes across Canada. We offer targeted preparation for TEF Canada, TEFAQ, TCF-Québec, and Francisation-Québec, delivered entirely online. Your instructor knows the exam formats and marking criteria inside out, and focuses specifically on the areas where candidates lose points. Available from any province, on a schedule built around your exam date.
With our intensive online programme (multiple sessions per day), most students reach working A2 in 3–4 weeks and conversational B1 within 8–10 weeks. With regular online sessions (approx. 4 h/week), A2 typically takes 10–12 weeks and B1 around 20–25 weeks. Private one-on-one sessions can significantly cut these timelines. Your advisor will give you a realistic estimate based on your starting level and goals.
Yes. As long as you have a stable internet connection, you can attend your Berlitz online French sessions from anywhere — another province, another country, your hotel room, or your favourite café. Your learning doesn't stop when life gets busy or you're on the road.
100% free and with no commitment. A Berlitz advisor — a real person, not a chatbot — will contact you within 1 business day. In a 20-minute call, they'll discuss your French goals, your current level, your schedule, and your province. They'll recommend the right online format, pace, and programme. You only enrol if it feels right. No pressure, no upsell.
Yes. Berlitz Canada is a recognised training provider and we regularly work with employer training budgets, Services Québec grants, and MIFI programmes for eligible learners — regardless of whether you take your classes online or in person. Your advisor will explain which funding options apply to your situation during your free consultation.
