I really like learning french at AF Ottawa. I love the teachers I had, they were very knowledgeable, they encouraged me to speak and to not be afraid to make mistakes. They made me feel very comfortable and confident during this process. I highly recommend AF Ottawa!

I am amazed by how Karim was able to refresh my grammar, correct all the mistakes including pronunciation and give plenty of valuable advice and material within such a short period of time – only a month. Everything was super helpful and I am beyond thankful!
The teacher definitely knows the exam structure well and can guide you, specially if is your first experience with the SLE.

Achieving a C level on the ELS Oral Language Assessment in March was one of the highlights of this year! And without a doubt, the SLE Oral C course at the Alliance Française helped me achieve this goal. The course was structured to allow everyone to actively participate in conversational exercises on topics and issues similar to those found on the exam. Many thanks to Iryna for giving me tips and the confidence I needed to pass the exam!

As someone who started the French language learning journey later in life, and after trying different learning opportunities and methods, I truly enjoy learning French with Alliance Française (AF) Ottawa! There have awesome and professional instructors who give great advice, pointers, and encouragement as you progress through your French language learning adventure.
Shih-Miin Loo – SLE preparation courses – General French courses – 2022 & 2023
I am very happy with my French Training from Alliance Francaise. It was very important that I reach the language requirement of my position in a specific timeframe, and they helped me do that. My teacher, Iryna, was great. She was very supportive and patient. She helped me pinpoint the things I didn’t know and learn them in a timely manner. She used several different strategies, including the online platform Apolearn, the AF books (Edito Pro) and exercises that she had amassed from her French training. I would recommend AF to colleagues.
Kassandra Baker – Customized courses – 2022
I truly enjoyed my course with Alliance Française, especially with the guidance of my teacher Shabnam Khani. Shabnam made me feel very comfortable to express myself in French with no judgments and she made conversations fun. I feel that I have fully progressed on my French by taking semi-private classes with Alliance Française and I will totally recommend this school to anyone looking to improve their French for work or personal reasons.
Nina Rodriguez – Spring 2 level A.2 – 2022
I was pleased to learn that there are numerous specialized course offerings, including a French Oral workshop. I benefitted from this workshop as it pushed me out of my comfort zone and I learned to think and communicate spontaneously related to various discussion topics. I carried this skill bit by bit to my workplace where I tried to initiate and respond to correspondences in French, in written or verbal form.
Violette – GENERAL FRENCH COURSES – SLE PREPARATION – ORAL WORKSHOP 2022
I have tried a number of language schools and find only AF actually teaches in a manner that wants their students to learn. A number of other institutions within the NCR are just happy to have students pay and not receive adequate training. I am always recommending AF to anyone who mentions they need language training.

I think it offers a good balance of oral and written compression. The Focus Langue is really useful. The small class size and lots of opportunity for verbal communication with the other students is both useful and enjoyable.

I tried a course with a very well-known college in Ottawa and it was nowhere near as good as AF.

I would like to inform you that I really enjoyed A1 course with Jean and would like to register A2. Jean is very patient and engaging teacher and he has a great talent to make students feel comfortable and confident.
Haemi Pollett – Online French groupe classes – Teacher : Jean Carteron – 2021
I wasn’t sure whether I would be able to learn a new language especially as a person with ZERO French background and English as a second language (I’m native Korean). I think his vast experience with students from different background really helped and if possible I would like to have him as my teacher.

Je vous remercie Layth pour cet atelier agréable. Je n’étais pas certaine ce que m’attend quand je me suis inscrite à l’atelier B2 Français avancé. C’était un plaisir chaque semaine d’assister à cette classe. J’espère que je peux voyager en France après les restrictions!

I did very well with Shabnam and would like to continue with her if at all possible.
