General Description

Montreal Language Adventure offers an effective small-group language course combined with an adventure in Canadian culture and lifestyle. In July - August or December - January, LSC welcomes teenagers from ages 13 to 17 from diverse areas of the globe to the world's largest bilingual, bicultural city: Montreal.

Classes are offered in French in small groups. The program provides language learning in an entertaining and meaningful context. Speaking and listening take priority.

Language Adventure activities are chosen to ensure that students are offered a balance of sports with a variety of interesting cultural outings. LSC monitors ensure that our young clients are well-supervised during activities.

Students stay in homestay. Special care is taken in selecting homestay hosts who have an active interest in younger students and who create a welcoming home for our Language Adventure participants.

Homestay provides you with the opportunity to use your language in real-life situations. You get a first-hand look at the way Canadians live.

In Canada, it is usual that both the homestay hostess and host work outside of the home during the day. Language Adventure students are responsible for going to school and returning to homestay by themselves.
