Our Philosophy
lingua franca mean?
The lingua franca, meaning free language in Latin, is the language people use to understand each other when they speak different languages. At one time, French was the lingua franca, the international language of diplomacy and business.
Today, with 300 million speakers worldwide, French still holds considerable influence, particularly within international institutions, in Europe, North America, the Maghreb, and Africa.

A sign of the vitality of this global language on the rise, it is estimated that the number of French speakers will reach 700 million by 2100.

French as a common language
In Quebec, as the official language, French is the common language and the language of work.
Mastering French is therefore not only essential for your integration into Quebec society, but it also allows you to achieve your professional and personal ambitions at a time when French is once again taking the title of lingua franca.

“Hello, my name is Juan Baraybar, and I had the chance to be in class with Professor Arnaud. Why do I say lucky? Because I learned a lot with him thanks to his teaching method, his patience, and especially his dedication to ensure that every student understands what he wanted to convey. In fact, if you have the opportunity to learn the language with him, you will have many possibilities by making the effort to learn French. Thank you!”
Juan Baraybar
“I introduce myself, I am Brayan, a Spanish-speaking person. My learning in Professor Arnaud’s French class has been amazing. In his classes, I have made a lot of progress in learning French to enjoy the language, helping me to step out of my comfort zone to learn the language faster. This has helped me a lot to express myself better with other people to have conversations. His classes are very dynamic and fun. I highly recommend him because he is a very good teacher. 100%!”
