Have you completed the administrative process and are you ready to immigrate to Canada? It's good news. But are you sure you have all the tools at your disposal to fully integrate the country? To make sure you can communicate in English, whether on a daily basis or at work, consider taking English classes for adults. You do not necessarily need to take group classes: you can take private lessons online, by Skype or by phone.
As a new immigrant, you are expected to be able to communicate with locals. And if you immigrate to Quebec, it means communicating in French ... and in English! Knowing how to communicate with others is a question of security and practicality. But it also builds confidence in yourself and in your new life.
It will be easier to integrate in Canada if you are comfortable with your second language. That's why there are many online classes for adults who want to learn or strengthen their English. Whatever your level, you will surely find English lessons to strengthen your foundation and expand your vocabulary.
If you work or are looking for a job in administration, secretarial work, customer service, banking and finance, or retail, it is recommended to speak English as well. And even if you work in a predominantly French-speaking environment, you could fall on English-speaking clients or have to understand English-language memos.
Showing your English-French bilingualism in your resume will be a real asset to your job search. Feel free to cultivate this skill to get better positions or better negotiate your salary. For example, Global Lingua offers business English courses.
If you are afraid of not progressing quickly enough in a group class, or if the proposed schedule does not fit your schedule, consider Skype courses. By choosing the Global Lingua online courses (by Skype or by phone), you choose the frequency of the sessions and the schedules that suit you. Better, you are sure to have a particular teacher who will focus on your language needs and your progress.
Before taking online English courses, do a free evaluation of your level. This will allow your teacher to adapt his courses. Do not hesitate to tell him in which areas you want to make progress. Do you want to improve your English for work? Do you want to focus on your favorite hobbies? On your speaking rather than writing? As you go along, you and your teacher will be able to monitor progress.
Through private tutoring, you master your learning and take charge of your new life in Canada.
