French Classes.... where to start?

Long time no post.

Lets say I would like to apply for some government jobs that require, French.

I am looking for suggestions on how to achieve at least a BBB level. Anyone know of any place to take classes?

Hahah...that's hilarious.

I would ASSUME the French you know is the basic french classes from school, right?

Anyhow, I would look into whether or not work would pay for it. I really don't know how it is in the private industry, but they may be open to sending you on classes (or getting you a tutor!)

If that doesn't pan out, there's a billion french classes in this town. Just find one and go to it. Ask Ferda and James. They were taking one.

I did the algonquin route for a bit. Lots of hours in class but also large class sizes. The cheapest I found are the night classes offered by some of the local high shcools (but did not seem to offer alot of actual hours). I found that balancing cost/class time/class size was the major concern when I was looking.

we took our course through Carleton U. It's not really geared for taking the French gov exams but it definitely helped with improving our French.

So many options...

I am probably not going to get work to pay for it, more for ethical reasons than anything else.

Lessons at Carleton / Gonq sound intriguing.
