Learn French in Canada through a total immersion language holiday

A modern language exchange or homestay in Canada is the fast, effective way to learn French. With the total immersion method, you learn French all day, every day, throughout your trip.

Learn French in Canada

You can learn French faster than you thought possible and have more fun than you imagined on a modern Lingoo language exchange or homestay.

You, your child or your family group can learn French by staying with one of our approved hosts throughout Canada.  As well as providing a warm welcome, our hosts will support your language learning and show you the local sights and sounds. 

Learn fast, gain confidence, have fun

There are three ways to learn French with Lingoo:

Language exchange – you, your child or family stays with a family in Canada then the other family’s member (or members) stays with you and your family. Find out more
Homestay – you, your child or family group stay with a family in  Canada.  Find out more
Stay with a teacher – you or your child stay in the home of a teacher in  Canada for more structured lessons. Find out more.

Our hosts all over Canada are ready to welcome you into their homes to help you learn French.  Each has been approved using stringent security checks by the Lingoo team. Now they are ready to help you learn fast, grow in confidence, and experience their Canadian culture and lifestyle. 

A quarter of the population of Canada are French Canadians and the majority live in the province of Québec. There are smaller French Canadian communities nearby, in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Blending Canadian Aboriginal roots with a European feel, French Canadian culture is distinctly different. Furthermore, having a unique linguistic identity, French speaking Québec is described a country within a country. The bustling southern cities of Montréal and Québec City are cosmopolitan, playful and sophisticated. Alongside the St Lawrence River, Tadoussac is a popular whale watching spot. Head further north and you are met with a sparsely populated arctic tundra of deserted beaches and ravaged rockscape. Large native wildlife such as moose, caribou, wolverine and bears roam here. Traditional classical and jazz music is imbued with cultural dancing. In this part of the world the weather is extreme and ice hockey is the sport of choice followed by cross country skiing. 

Finding the right host is important. We help you choose who you stay with based on location, lifestyle, interests (and even diet or religion). Our aim is to help you find a Canadian language partner so right for you that, through the learning experience, you might easily become friends.
