NOT ONLY DID IT GIVE ME A CHANCE TO IMPROVE MY FRENCH SKILLS, BUT IT ALSO GAVE ME THE CHANCE TO MAKE LASTING FRIENDSHIPS WITH PEOPLE FROM ACROSS CANADA, EXPLORE A NEW PLACE AND EXPERIENCE ACADIAN CULTURE. EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT - WE HAD AMAZING FACILITATORS WHO WERE ALWAYS AROUND TO HELP US, ENGAGING FRENCH TEACHERS AND FUN ACTIVITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN EVERY DAY. MY FRENCH IMPROVED SUBSTANTIALLY AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THE PROGRAM WITHOUT HESITATION TO EVERYONE! BRANDON ONTARIO I HAD AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE AT THE UNIVERSITÉ DE MONCTON. UPON ARRIVAL I WAS NERVOUS AND TIMID, BUT THERE WERE REPRESENTATIVES WAITING FOR ALL OF US TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR STAY WAS ENJOYABLE AND FUN. THROUGHOUT THE PROGRAM WE HAD ACTIVITIES EVERY DAY, BUT LEARNING FRENCH WAS THE MAIN GOAL. STUDENTS RECEIVED A WEEKLY AWARD IF THEY PARTICIPATED IN GROUP DISCUSSION OR IF THEY WERE NOTICED PRACTICING FRENCH BY SOMEONE FROM THE STAFF. THE HISTORY OF THE ACADIANS AND THE KINDNESS OF THE PEOPLE FROM NEW BRUNSWICK CONTRIBUTED TO MAKING THE EXPERIENCE VERY ENJOYABLE. THROUGHOUT MY LIFE, I WILL REMEMBER THE AMAZING TIME I HAD WHILE PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM. I WOULD RECOMMEND THE PROGRAM TO ANYBODY LOOKING TO HAVE FUN WHILE LEARNING AND PRACTICING FRENCH.
