Why choose Little Sorbonne?
At Little Sorbonne we firmly believe that a language is meant to be spoken! The theoretical side of language-learning is extremely important, and our teachers have many years of experience practising the art of teaching grammar in a clear, concise way. However we believe that students learn a language to be able to communicate in that language. From the first lesson at Little Sorbonne we strive to make our students speak as much as possible in a warm, friendly, and relaxed atmosphere. Our students engage in role-plays, games, discussions, debates and other speaking tasks to encourage them to practise the skills that they learn with us as much as possible. Learning a language can be a fulfilling and exciting experience and our teachers are dedicated to having our student's take away as much as they can from their lessons as possible.

Why study French?
French is the second most-taught language in B.C. after English.
Learning a language is rewarding at any age. A new initiative by the government of British Columbia to promote French in the province means that many children are now taking French Immersion at school, with a view to French becoming a more prominent language in BC in the future. Indeed, British Columbia has the fastest growing French-immersion enrolment rate in Canada.
French is an official language of Canada.
Knowledge of French is a very important skill for those who work or wish to work for or with government agencies as many such jobs prefer candidates to speak French.
