Live in Montreal and intensely study the French language!

Would you like to study French intensely over the summer? Perhaps you need to brush up on your language skills for an upcoming semester abroad in a French-speaking country! You’ll be pleased to know that American University students can participate in an intensive French Language Immersion program over the summer at the Université de Montreal, the largest French university in North America.

Nestled into Mount Royal, a magnificent urban park in downtown Montreal, the Université is an oasis of nature in the heart of a great city. The campus is easily accessible by public transportation. The surrounding neighborhood, one of the city’s most cosmopolitan, includes the Maison de la culture, an open-air market, and a wide variety of restaurants, boutiques and bookstores.

Montreal, the second-largest French-speaking city in the world after Paris, is an ideal location to study French in the summer. A vibrant, multi-cultural metropolis dating back to the 1500s, Montreal offers a remarkable quality of life. Heir to a long and rich European tradition, the city offers a unique bilingual environment where French and English live in harmony. There are French theaters, cinemas, newspapers and television stations. It is a superb location for those who wish to immerse themselves in a predominantly French-speaking environment.
