English Lessons in Montreal

Have you ever thought about the meaning of words like “overlook” and “oversee”? They actually refer to opposite things, while “look” and “see” mean the same! If this interests you and you would like to know more about the English language, don’t hesitate to contact us at Listen & Learn. We can design face-to-face or online lessons for you to become fluent in English in a very short time.

Our native-speaking tutors will help you, for example, master a quite complicated aspect of the language: pronunciation. In English, there are several ways to say words that have almost the same letter combinations. Some examples are through (/th-roo/), though (/th-oh//) or rough (/ruff/). But don’t worry: after taking some lessons with Listen & Learn, you’ll master even the trickiest silent letters!

Another important reason for acquiring English in Montreal is your increased chances of landing a good job in a big company, as almost all businesses in the city, including Clarins Canada Inc. or Croesus Finansoft, have adopted English as their working language. Furthermore, you’ll need English to socialize with more than 3 million residents in Montreal who speak the language. So, why not join one of the many exchange groups to meet new people and practice your English, such as Everyday English Conversation and Fun?

Reach out to Listen & Learn today and soon you’ll be pronouncing seemingly impossible words, like isthmus or Worcestershire, with ease!
