The rhythm of the classes was slow. Our teacher was good but not too encouraging or motivational. The location is perfect, just outside the metro station Sherbrooke and near of the center of the city. The facilities were good, they had everything needed in this sense. I didn't do any activity as I wasn't housing.
Show details » Read more...First of all I was put into a class that was 2 month ahead of me together with students that were 1 month ahead, so that we ended up as a bunch of students with completely different levels of french. It made me feel completely out of place since I wasn’t able to do any exercises nor understand what the teacher said, since it was all in French.
The conversation class was better, although i was paired with another student who was way better than i was, but the teachers managed well to give us both exercises fitted for our levels.
Although I’ve only been at ALC for 3 weeks I had classes with 6 different teachers due to a constant teacher change, it made it terribly difficult to follow a structure since they communicated little with each other. We ended up dealing with how to select a gift for a party 3 times, and I still don’t know any basics such as how to order food in a Restaurant.
Anyways the teachers seemed engaged and helpful at any time, so did the staff at the front desk. The Facility itself if located directly above Sherbrooke Station which is very easy too reach and close to the city center. The class rooms were small but nice, so were the wash rooms and the cafeteria.
