No, because it will not help you. This is the beauty of the accelerated Languistic.ca program. There is more than enough to learn in one week. What you need is more practice! We offer the most opportunities for practice with our unlimited group conversation classes, which means you can attend 3+ classes per week.

You will start based on your level in the placement test. We have many classes starting every week because we always have a lot of students signing up at Languistic. Every week is a level, so you can start anytime you want; we will put you in the right level based on your placement test. As for the end date, if you are a beginner, it will take you about 3 months to start feeling improvement in your speaking in everyday situations. When you finish the first certificate (40 levels), that is when you will really perfect your everyday English. If you are an intermediate student, it will take you about 3 months to perfect your everyday English and obtain your first certificate. After the first certificate, you will be ready to start with professional English (English for work), moving toward obtaining your second certificate (level 60). Please see more information in the certificate FAQ.

At our school, we offer 80 levels. Unlike other schools where they have 4 or 5 large levels and they start everyone in the same beginner class with students of all levels and proficiencies, we have broken everything down into small, weekly steps, and precise weekly levels, which means you will be put in the right level based on the most accurate placement test that our language experts from Concordia University have developed. In each weekly level, you will learn new concepts every week and revisit and practice concepts in previous weeks/levels. Language learning takes time and effort, but at Languistic, with our innovative program, by completing 40 levels, you will see tremendous progress in your language skills. We have three certificates: L1-L40: Everyday English. You will be able to communicate in everyday situations: shopping, family, friends, neighbours, banks, government. L41-L60: Professional English. You will be able to communicate for interviews, in a work setting, answering emails and phone calls, speaking with colleagues and clients, work tasks and responsibilities. After the completion of the 60th level, you will be ready to start preparing for standardized and government language tests, such as IELTS, TOEFL, CELPIP. L61-80: Advanced Fluency. You will become like a native speaker, giving you the ability to move up the ladder in the corporate world. You can also increase your IELTS, TOEFL and CELPIP score upon completion of the 80th level.

All classes are in small groups to optimize learning! Students love our small groups!

Most of our teachers speak some French and other languages; however, we provide an immersive environment at Languistic.ca. Our teachers help you understand concepts through pictures and actions, as a child would naturally learn a language. If you do not understand something in class, you can always ask the teacher to repeat or ask your fellow students. Our teachers will also recommend really good dictionaries and online translators to help you along your language learning journey.

Our teachers are either Canadian or highly qualified with many years of Canadian experience. We only hire qualified teachers with Canadian experience trained by experts in the Applied Linguistics program of Concordia University.

Don’t worry. You can review the material (watch videos in your modules) on your own and take the quiz on your own this week.
