Ciao! I'm Cesare from Italy, I'm a physical-therapist and I have been here in work-vacations for 2 weeks. C'est mon deuxième été consécutif à GEOS à Montréal pour améliorer mon français et mon anglais. Montréal est une ville magnifique, cosmopolite et sécuritaire, j'adore l'ambiance franco-anglophone qui me donne beaucoup de sérénité et la possibilité de faire la connaissance de gens en provenance de partout dans le monde. I have been in language schools all over the world Cape Town, Honolulu, Boston, London and Edimburgh) and nowhere I have found teachers so competitive and a staff so nice and helpful as I have in GEOS Montreal. For this reason I have come back for the second time. L'année prochaine je reviendrai à nouveau!!! Thanks to everyone for the lovely experience:-))!!

Je m'appelle Sarah et je viens d'Allemagne. Je suis à Montréal pour apprendre le Français et pratiquer l'Anglais. Cela fait un mois que je suis ici et je reste encore deux mois. Donc, j'ai le temps de pratiquer. Les gens à GEOS sont gentils. Les employés de GEOS sont gentils aussi et serviables. Montréal est très différent par rapport à ma patrie. La ville est un peu sale et dans un autobus ou un métro il n'y a pas assez de places assises. Mais Montréal est une belle ville aussi. J'aime bien les vieilles maisons et les parcs. Le musée des Beaux-Arts est très intéressant et gratuit. C'est super! Maintenant le temps ce n'est pas très beau mais on m'a dit que le temps va changer. Amusez vous ici!

I only had two weeks available to study and I wanted to improve my very rusty French. The intensive course at GEOS was a good fit. The staff here are very welcoming and friendly. They were quite helpful setting me up in a residence that was an easy 10 minute walk from the school. I took the intensive course and it was a good way to spend the little time I had really focusing on French. There is no way to learn a language completely in just 2 weeks but it provided a strong base to go out and practice talking with people. I appreciated the fact that GEOS had several levels of French classes at the same time and students were able to freely move up or down a level to suit their ability. I also found the interactions with other students fun. Montreal is also a great city to explore! I would recommend the intensive program to folks who only have a short time to brush up on their skills!

« Je m'appelle Adriana Liendo. Je suis vénézuélienne. Je suis venue à Geos Montréal car je voudrai pratiquer et améliorer mon français. Je trouve que Geos est un institut très intéressant parce que ici on rencontre des gens différents, et comme ça, on peut parler et connaître des nouvelles cultures. Même si on doit étudier beaucoup, il y a toujours du temps pour s'amuser pendant les activités que Geos prépare pour nous, comme les activités hebdomadaires. En plus, Montréal c'est une très belle ville avec des attractions pour tous les goûts. »

In the time that I have been here in Montreal, I have been taught the beauty that is this country and it's culture. The peace, the security and many positive things are the mixture of different style and ways of thinking. In GEOS, I found new friends form different countries and with their, I learned how to enjoy study English. I hope, I'll be able to return here in a few months.

When I arrived in Montreal 3 months ago, I couldn't understand anything. My English was terrible, but now I can talk and I need to, thank to Geos. The teachers, the staff and the administration are extremely good all the time. For instance, when I need something, I can ask them. Montreal is definitely a beautiful city and I'm used to going out with my friends at night because it's safe. Montreal is a European and North-American city. I have a lot of friends here and I'm so happy with this. If you need to learn English or French, you should study in Geos Montreal. I'm enjoying my time a lot here. When it finishes, I will miss this so much. Finally, I want to say: Thank you very much Geos!!! Xoxo,

Hi!!! This is Chiharu. I have studied English at GEOS Montreal for 3 months.
When I arrived here, I understood almost nothing! So I felt homesick and I was worried about my future. However, I met a lot of people at GEOS. Everyone is kind and friendly. I have made a lot of friends from over the world. Moreover, GEOS' staff and teachers are funny and helpful. They gladly teach me English, even outside of class. Therefore, I enjoyed my self a lot in GEOS. I love GEOS Montreal. I recommend the school to everyone wanting to study English or French. Furthermore, Montreal is a very beautiful city. It has many European buildings. I love Montreal!!!! That's all !! Thank you!!! :))))) xoxo

I spend 3 months at GEOS Montreal. I learned French here. It was difficult and sometimes frustrating but it was worth it. I met great people from all over the world and I had a lot of fun. Montreal is a great city with a wonderful & long winter. I won't forget this time!

J'ai passé 3 mois à GEOS Montréal. J'ai appris le français ici. C'était difficile et parfois frustrant mais ça a valu la peine. J'ai rencontré des personnes sympas du monde entier et je me suis bien amusé. Montréal est une belle ville avec des hivers magnifiques & froids. Je n'oublierai jamais ces 3 mois!

En général, je trouve cette expérience extraordinaire. Depuis mon arrivée à Montréal j'ai appris une grande quantité de choses dont je ne savais pas que j'allais connaître. A partir de toutes les connaissances que j'ai obtenu à GEOS Montréal, à mon avis, la ville est parfaite pour avoir un très bon temps en pratiquant le français puisqu'il y a plusieurs activités pendant toute l'année pour profiter des weekends et même essayer de parler en français. De plus, je me suis fait tellement d'amis que je pourrais voyager dans tout le monde ; et grâce à un très gentil personnel, il semble que les problèmes n'existent pas. Donc, je crois que tu n'auras pas la possibilité de t'ennuyer à GEOS Montréal.

I like Montreal so much! Montreal is very nice place where there are a lot of beautiful and traditional places, many different people come from all around the world. And I like GEOS, too. It is a very comfortable place for me.
My teachers always makes me so laugh. When I have some troubles, GEOS' staff and especially Japanese assistant usually help me! Here is my best situation.
I really appreciate your kindness.

The month I've spent at GEOS has been great, I've enjoyed every minute of it. The teachers have such enthusiasm for languages that it makes the learning process so much more enjoyable and slightly less difficult! The activities are always engaging, with a good balance between the 4 areas of learning & a great variety of exercises. With such a diversity of people from all over the world studying at the school, class discussions were always extremely interesting, I've made some great friends.
Thank you & hope to see you again soon!

When I came to Montreal I had English knowledge, but I couldn't use it very well. I was afraid of the new life situations and it was frustrating. I have been studying at GEOS for two months and I feel much better thanks to GEOS staff. My teachers are patient and always teach with joy. Every day, when I go to school I learn something new about Canada, the language or my classmates. This is a good way to practice because we talk with each other before, after and during the class. If I have any questions, I can go to my teacher, who helps and replies with enthusiasm, I'm sure I will learn more in the net two months.
If you would like to study English or French, I can recommend GEOS, because you can find a nice atmosphere with kind people.

Salut à tous! Je m'appelle Jhonnatan, je suis Colombien et j'ai 18 ans. Mon expérience à GEOS était vraiment agréable. J'ai profité de tout ce que mes professeurs m'ont enseigné. Mon Français s'est amélioré à 100% grâce à GEOS. Je vous remercie de votre intérêt à aider les autres et faire de notre séjour à Montréal quelque chose que sûrement on ne va jamais oublier.

It has been five months since I joined GEOS. I was so happy to achieve the required TOFEL score that I needed to be accepted to university after three months of English classes. In addition, I have been studying French for about one month, starting with zero background, and now my family and friends couldn't believe how fast I learned to introduce myself and ask questions in French.
I believe that, the small amount of students in each class, the strong interaction between teachers and students, the extra friendly and helpful staff, and the location of this school, make it very easy and comfortable for students to study and meet new friends.
I still have four months in French class to go but I miss GEOS already!

I have been studying in GEOS Montreal for 2 months. My English has improve so fast because of the help of the excellent GEOS Teachers.
This is an excellent place to studying English and French too.
The activities of the school are so good and funny, and meet new people.
I need to say that this beautiful city is multicultural and you can find people from all around the world and every day, you can learn something new about so many countries.
With the help of the excellent teachers of GEOS Montreal, you can learn English or French in a very fun way.
So, I recommend GEOS Montreal to all my friends from Mexico.

When I came here, I couldn't speak English.
Also, I was stressed and nervous.
But, I have met nice friends, teachers, staff and very kind host-family. So I had a good time.
I would like to recommend GEOS Montreal because teachers and staff is very helpfull, kindly and funny.
And you will be able to make good friends.
I'm glad that I choose this school.

Dear Uri,
Greetings from England to you and all the staff. It's just over two weeks since I arrived back in the UK and it's taking a while to adjust to the "big smoke" after the warm and bright atmosphere of Montreal.
I just wanted to say thanks again to you, Sayaka...Billy, Yasu, Stefanie and the teachers for providing such a welcoming atmosphere. Please keep me on your mailing list for news of the school...I hope to be back someday.
Best regards to you all

Montreal is a cosmopolitan city with many festivals in each season. It's a nice city and a great city in which to study second or third languages.
At GEOS Montreal, I have been studying for 24weeks. I think my English is getting better. There are many good teachers. I like the atmosphere and the style of teaching of each teacher. It feels comfortable to participate in class.
Let's say, if you want to study English or French (or even Spanish which you can learn from your friends) I recommend GEOS Montreal.
Improve your language skills, Make new friends, and have new experiences.

I just want to thank GEOS Montreal. That school helps everybody to learn the language he wants. There is English, French and even Japanese can be studied. I've decided to learn French here. But learning at GEOS Montreal is not like learning at a normal school. Here you can experience a lot of new and interesting things. The stuff is a bit crazy but that's a perfect start to a funny lesson. You don't even have to travel the world to get to know different cultures! I met so many people like Japanese, Columbians, Austrians, Mexicans, Germans, Finish and Chinese. This helps me to open my mind to unknown nationalities. I'm really enjoying my time here. I don't even want to leave anymore. It's not only the great atmosphere at school but also the wonderful city that impresses me. I, a small Austrian girl, don't know such big cities like Montreal. But even in case you don't like large and loud cities this is a good place for you. Montreal counts some thousands of people but luckily it has its quiet and green places. It is a city for all kinds of interests. I can only recommend to everybody to visit GEOS in Montreal.

Bonjour tout le monde! Je suis Stephanie Toussaint et je viens de France. j'ai choisi de quitter mon pays pour un mois pour ameliorer mon niveau d'anglais grace a GEOS. Quelle experience! En plus d'avoir rencontrer des personnes sympathiques ( qui sont devenues mes amis) j'ai pu visiter la merveilleuse ville de Montreal. Parler avec les autres eleves est un bon exercice pour s'entrainner et te rend plus ouvert aux autres, plus confiant...
j'ai appris un autre mode de vie, une autre culture.

Hello, everybody~!! I am stefanie Tousaint and I come from France. I chose to quit my country for 1 month to improve my English level, thanks to GEOS Montreal. Such a good experience.~! I met lots of lovely people, who become good friends. In addition to the beautiful city of Montreal. Speaking with others pupils is a good exercise to practice your English and make you more open-minded, self-confident...
I found other ways of live cultures.

I came here for my English study.
GEOS Montreal made me more comfortable to speak English.
In GEOS, there are many kindly people, and lots of interesting things.
Actually, I worried when I arrived in Montreal. Because, there are 2 languages; French and English. But, I think it doesn't matter for studying English.
Montreal is one of the best place for the English study.
I would like to recommend GEOS Montreal to my friends in Korea.

Here, GEOS Montreal in such a combined city, I found that learning new language is very interesting. Actually, I had just wanted to take a care free time before coming here. And studying foreign language was a second priority. However, for the last 3 months in GEOS Montreal, it was changed by open-minded students, humorous talented, intelligent teachers, extremely kind staffs and Montreal's attractive cultural events, such as PoP Montreal, Wednesday night's free Art museum.). If you have a plan for studying in such a nice place, I would like to strongly recommend GEOS Montreal to my friends.
But, if you are NOT nice, NOT open, NOT interesting, Please, don't put any of your feet here.
I want to remember GEOS Montreal as my good impression.

When I came to GEOS Montreal, my French wasn't very good. But with the great teachers, administrators and just overal, the great atmosphere, I feel like my French has improved greatly than I used to be. It was an awesome experience and would like to recommend GEOS Montreal to friends and Anyone looking to learn some Language, like English ,French or a few of languages.

Do you want to study English? If you want to study English, I would recommend GEOS. it is a good institute to learn English and other language.

When I came to GEOS, staffs were glad to see me. They are kind and sweet. GEOS has a good system. At first, teachers have good skill. When you have a question, you can always ask them. Additionally, they make you understand perfectly. At second, lots of activities happen. Niagara Falls tour, Quebec city and Ottawa tour, climbing mountain, playing soccer and watching movies, etc. at third, GEOS has a good atmosphere. You may be a foreigner and you may live alone or Homestay. So, then people who is around you is more important. People who are students, teachers and staffs are thoughtful and kind. You must feel like home.
So if I chose schools one more time, I absolutely would select GEOS.

I have stayed with a family since I came to Montreal approx. 2 weeks ago. The family is from Italy originally. They speak not only Italian but also English and French.

When father of the family has free, he tells me many things. For instance, he tells me about history of Montreal, religion, and so on. It is very useful for me to hear a lot of English. if he tell me some words which I don't know, he explains about the words in detail if I ask about them.

Mother of the family is so kind and cheerfully that it is so easy for me to talk with her. Also she takes good care of me, then I am helped by her.

While living abroad, one of disturbing matters is a meal.
In my case, supper is almost Italian food.
The supper is delicious.
If I want to eat the food in japan, I have to go to Italian restaurant, and I can't go to the restaurant everyday. I mean, I am so lucky.

There is one spanish guy, who stay with the family, except me. When we are at supper, we talk in English with eating. The talk is very good practice for me. However, his english skill is better than me, then I almost hear his talk.

I have just started my home-stay life.
Sometimes I am anxious for the life because of my inexperience. But I think that having fun in Montreal now is very helpful of the family.

Montreal is a charming and elegant city in which many different cultures join and become one. Just by living in it you get a new perspective of the world around you and a better understanding of your own culture. GEOS has also been an important part of my experience here. I've learned a lot, not only from my amazing teachers but also from my classmates. I've made a lot of friends, and even though I haven't been here long, my English has improved so much. I think that coming to Montreal and studying here is one of the best decitions I have ever made.

Bonjour, hi, my name is Sung Kook Park. I'm from South Korea. I am at GEOS Montreal to learn English and French. While studying at GEOS Montreal, I was able not only to learn communication skills, grammar, listening comprehension etc, but also find out some interesting cultural tips from different countries.

This kind of experience is very interesting and special for me. Hadn't I come to Montreal, I would not have experienced it at all.

In addition to these, the school activities are also full of fun. I went on a picnic in Mont-Royal park with my classmates and I went Ottawa and Quebec city among others.

It is the nicest and most tremendous experience that I've ever had.

I will never forget the times that I had spent in Montreal.

Bonjour! Je m'appelle Maria Fernanda. Je suis Mexicaine et je vais rester ici a Montréal 4 semaines pour apprendre le francais. Tout le monde ici à GEOS est tres sympa et les professeurs sont excellents.
J'ai rencontré beaucoup de personnes intéressantes de différents pays comme de la Colombie, de la Russie, de l'Australie, de l'Italie, de la France, de l'Allemagne, de l'Espagne et du Zimbabwe. Montréal est une ville tres agréable et multiculturelle et il y a beaucoup de lieux à visiter comme le musée des Beaux-Arts, le Festival FrancoFolies, le concours de feux d'artifice.
C'est une expérience inoubliable.

J'aimerais bien vous remercier à GEOS pour mon séjour tellement agréable et avec beaucoup de fun.
Particulièrement je voudrais remercier mon professeur fou Jérôme qui m'a enseignée pendant trois semaines. Je ne deviendrais jamais un grand chef de cuisine mais avec ton aide peut-être...Je suis optimiste. D'avoir composé notre chanson est une experience inoubliable (but you guys haven't properly saved the video of our song which I will never forgive you...) En outre il m'a fait grand plaisir de t'expliquer quelques oeuvres d'art au musée à côté de l'école et merci pour d'avoir pu lire ta nouvelle. J'aimerais bien continuer de lire tes oeuvres et faire des projets en art thérapie plus langues plus cuisine avec toi.
Merci tellement à mon professeur Fariba qui est vraiment chébran et looc et a essayé de m'enseigner des mots blécas en francais. Elle m'a fait toujours rire et maintenant j'entend dans mon intérieur comment tu ris et cela me rend heureux. Tu m'a rappellé aux mes amies iraniennnes et pour cette raison je savais toute suite que tu es Iranienne.
A mon professeur Sandra: je suis tellement désolée pour d'avoir terminé ton jeu du Montréal qui avait commencé tellement bien. Tu étais mon professeur seulement pendant une journée mais merci pour d'avoir fait ta connaissance. Peut-être à la prochaine fois.
To Marcus and Billy: thanks a lot for all your help and your kindness. Marcus, I really like your French accent and it makes me laugh to think of coffee times with cookies and movie nights with Indiana Jones. When I think of you, I have to smile. I hope that you will continue to give your big heart and happiness to the school and to all the students.
Merci à vous tous pour les grands et petits bonheurs que vous m'avez offerts. Je vous embrasse.

I totally remember when I arrived in Montreal. Everything was covered with snow and it was taller than me. 27th Feb. 2008 11pm. Finally I'm in Montreal.

I prepared pretty long time for come to Canada, except study English, so first time Montreal wasn't special until I visited school. I don't know Uri remember that we met first, but I did. Uri, Billy and one lady, maybe Sayaka, were receive me with warm hands. I heard many thing about Canada before I come to here, so I had a prejudice, but it was fade away. They were hospitable to me who is "exit" is more familiar than "sortie."

My Montreal and GEOS life have started with GEOS people. My teachers - Matt, Amit and Lotoya who is a new and other teachers. They already know about my problems. So everytime correcting and trying until I'll have correct answer. And staffs - Uri, Billy, Marcus, Sayaka and Yasu have many information that I want. So they always give me a new information or search.

I'm satisfied with GEOS and Montreal except classroom is little bit hot. Every GEOS people are good friends everytime.

I'm from Japan.
I arrived here a month ago,and I have been studying at GEOS for 3 weeks.
My classmates are Korean, Japanese, Mexcan, Turkish, Czech and Taiwanese.
My classmates and teachers are really friendly, funny and like to joke!
So, GEOS students and teachers are always laughing.

I study English at the morning lesson for 2 hours, then I eat lunch for an hour. After that I have another lesson for 2 hours.
The lunch time is so much fun!! My classmates and students from other classes eat lunch at the sametime everyday. It's easy to make new friends here!

Montreal is really multinational. When I got on the train for the first time, I was so surprised!
There were people from many countrys living here. I had never seen that sight before.

I was also surprised about the achitecture in montreal. The apartments, houses, buldings and churchs are really beautiful. I enjoy that view all the time.

I don't have enough time everyday. I have a lot of things I have to do and want to do in montreal.

English is very difficult, So I get depressed sometimes. But, My friends, GEOS's teachers and host family support me. So,I always have a feeling of gratitude and like everyone at GEOS!!

For me, it has been a unique opportunity to meet new people, but more than this, to feel the atmosphere and the cultural diversity. I am staying with a host family and it has been a pleasure for me to be in touch with a Canadian family. every day, it has been a new adventure. I and my friends enjoy walking around the city to "discover" monuments, museums, art galleries, and so on. We have coffee at the cafeteria to try the typical food from Canada. We are really having a good time here and for sure we will have very good things to tell our families in Brazil. For sure we will miss Canada a lot.

Studying at GEOS Montreal will be recorded in my memories because I met both, great friends from many countries and professional people from GEOS. Besides, the environment was very good and made everybody feel comfortable and relaxed. It was two wonderful months of unforgettable experiences with unforgettable people, which made my trip worth it, all this together with my english improvement in lively classes. I'm sure that in the future I will come back to Montreal and to GEOS, but then to learn French. That's why I want to thank GEOS for everything you have done for me and tell you... See you soon! ... I'll be back.

I just wanted to pass along again how much I enjoyed the educational experience last week at the GEOS Montreal Academy. The school truly lives up to its motto of a professional appearance with a fun attitude. I'm already looking at next year's December calendar to plan for next year's trip. In the Meantime I plan to continue studying my French. Please pass along a big hello to everyone for me, and I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season this year. Take care, Will

We are from Mexico and we have been here for 4 months.
4 awesome months in which we have had a great experience. Here, you can learn a lot about different cultures because as you already know, Montreal is a multicultural city.
Our experience in GEOS Montreal has been really nice because here we have the opportunity to have fun while we learn languages; the fact that it's a language school doesn't mean that it has to be boring.
We also have had the pleasure to know a lot of nice people, the students and GEOS staff as well.
We can summarize that Montreal and GEOS have been the perfect combination to enjoy our stay here.
Thanks to the staff. Thanks to Montreal. Thanks to GEOS.

Hello, my name is Tina. I am 24 years old and I am from Germany. I stayed in Montreal for four weeks in a host family. I studied english. GEOS choose a very nice host family for me. So I could practice my english which I have learned at school everyday. The GEOS team was great and warm. Whenever I have problems, I can ask them and they will help me. I feel I am welcomed. The teachers used different kinds of teaching methods, like listening, conversation, presentation, work in teams, movies and others. Therefore, the learning result is very good. GEOS had also a big offer on activities after school everyday in the week and especially on Friday. I had the chance to get to know Montréal with a big group of students. I was also on a daytrip to Ottawa. It was a well organized trip. I got to know the capital city of Canada. It was a very good day. I had a great time in Montréal. I had the chance to meet people from different countries and different cultures. I made a lot of new friends. I will never forget this time.

I have made a lot of new friends and everyday I enjoy new experiences with them.

After a few classes, I realized that I became more fluent than ever in French. With its friendly environment, management and teachers, Geos has always been my number one choice when it comes to learn a foreign language.

She did improve a lot and the host family Luminita Popescu was very welcoming. We can for sure recommend your school and are very pleased with the professionalism of the teachers. Thanks again.

At first, I was afraid about my trip, however, after arriving in Montreal I was glad about GEOS and I have enjoyed a lot since last July.... Another aspect is that you meet so many friends that will stay part of your life forever.

I have studied english in GEOS 3 summers. When I started my english education in GEOS I was really bad at english. Actually I was satisfied so much that I'm making my parents send my sister too. I'd say GEOS is number one

Again, thank you, Joy and Uri for all your help, it was a great pleasure to stay in Geos and to study english.
My time in Montreal is one of my biggest experiences I've ever had! Also, because of you!

All the best
