Centre d’éducation des adultes Antoine-Brossard

PROS
Very good course to learn the French language as complete, grammatically speaking. You will learn how to write in the correct way as they will teach you the grammar of the language (rules).

CONS
Unfortunately depending of the teacher, the speaking part won't be strong. You need to push the teacher to more activities to speak and push yourself to speak day-by-day. Some teachers can get a balance of teory and practice(speaking). Some of them will put a lot of attention at the grammar and the speaking part will be weak.

Highlight a teacher
The teachers are very kind and dedicated. Maybe because the high quantity of the grammar material, they put aside the speaking part of the course to have more time to finish the grammar program.

PROS
The positive point is the course is for free for immigrants. It is a good opportunity for new immigrants to have the first contact with the French language, but it will take longer to learn the language than in paid courses. If you're an immigrant this school will be a good choice to "break the ice" for free. If you are looking for a higher level of writing and conversation, you may go to a stronger school later on.

CONS
As most of the courses from the government, it doesn't give homework neither good material as a support. It's basically in class training. The lady who manages the courses and her team, seems kind of condescending with the students, being sometimes rude and impatient with people who doesn't understand their "orders" in French. They don't look well prepared to deal with newcomers.

Highlight a teacher
The teachers struggle to do their best in class, considering the unsupportive management they have.
