Under Bill 144, every homeschool family in Québec must teach French. Below is a list of resources to help you comply with this new regulation.
- Determine your goals and the number of hours you are willing to invest in learning French.
- Select your learning program according to the language needs and your budget: each learner is different.
- Make realistic and concrete goals.
- Spend time every day learning: listening, reading, talking, writing.
Learning French can be done in a thousand ways at any time of the day. It’s up to you to discover, personalize and make your learning enjoyable.
