BLI Montreal

Expérience positive: [For learning French] If you're a FLAP kid or tourist, then I think this is an incredible opportunity to see a new city and have fun trying a new language. If you're seriously looking to learn a new language, then starting with A0 classes (absolute beginner) can yield mixed results. BUT once you graduate past A1 and above, or once the common vacation months are over, then I think the learning experience greatly improves. Emiliano helped tremendously with getting started, health insurance, and travel documents. Be aware that some French teachers do not speak English - which sounds bizarre for a language school. Luckily, you can request lesson changes, private courses, online, or even moving up/down a level too.

Expérience fantastique: Cuál es el costo de las clases?

Expérience fantastique: I loved the experience. I think it was a great decision. Carolina helped me with the whole process and checked on me all the time to see if I was enjoying the time at BLI. Also, I loved the classes and I have an amazing teacher, Alexandra, who helped me improve my pronunciation every day and explained the most difficult topics of French easily. I really recommend BLI for someone who is looking for a private school for learning French, I had a great experience. :)

Expérience fantastique: I studied at BLI Montreal for six weeks in the super intensive program (from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), and I had a very positive experience. The teachers were excellent, especially Jennifer, who was the teacher I had the most. It’s truly enjoyable to learn with a passionate teacher. You can feel when someone loves teaching, and it makes a huge difference. Honestly, if I had teachers like her throughout my school years, I would probably speak much better English today. I really liked the structure of the program. In the morning, we focused more on grammar, which helped me build a strong foundation. In the afternoon, we practiced more conversation, which was great for improving confidence and speaking skills. Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience and would definitely recommend this school.

Expérience négative: Bli sell access to PrepMyFuture for $170 CAD, while the official website lists it at 99€ (around $160 CAD depending on exchange rate). 89 at the moment so 143$ As a learner, I find it disappointing that they charge more than the official website . If additional services or support are included, that should be made transparent upfront. Students deserve clarity when it comes to pricing, especially for third-party platforms that can be purchased directly and when the school most likely have access to the account cheaper. They just want to make profit out of the student. Most other schools in Montreal charge way less ended up purchasing my account for 60$ less in an other school EDIT Sorry, but the response is ridiculous. I do not believe that they bought them at the regular prices while all other schools in the city are selling it cheaper than the regular price so clearly they all have a discount. Moreover, you state that students are free to purchase the accounts themselves, yet at no point do you mention that they are available at a lower price elsewhere so how would they. The argument of convenience is not really justifiable when it literally takes five seconds to take it into account and save ten dollars. I don’t see who wouldn’t want to do that, especially since ordering the account directly from the official website also provides greater refund guarantees.
