Our Testimonials

Finally got my PR!

I was struggling for many months to pass the TEFAQ exam. Failed the exam one time. Francization was not helping me. After just 2 months of preparation with lingua franca, I passed the exam.

Cleared TCF Exam with LFI help

This is the best french school for immigration preparation. I started as full beginner and progressed all the way until B2 level and passed the TCF exam. They make you speak a lot. Very good practice.

The best French teacher I have ever had! She takes the time with her students, makes sure that they understand and is very passionate about what she teaches. Forever grateful to have had her as a teacher.

Thank you Lingua Franca

I don't like studying much but Lingua Franca's approach was very good to meet my learning style. They made the program very interactive and fun. The suggested movies to watch in french were very helpful. I loved the resources provided.
