Apprenez à parler Anglais à Calgary

Situated in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, the amazing city of Calgary is home to beautiful scenery, exciting festivals and a variety of fun and interesting activities, like the Calgary Stampede, which attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors during the month of July. The city is home to a huge variety of cultures and nationalities. However, even though this is a very diverse city (more than 45% of the population speaks a foreign language at home, according to Statistics Canada), more than 1 million residents are fluent in the city’s primary tongue: English. This is the language of business and education in the city, so if you are moving to Calgary, learning English is essential. Start studying the language with us to feel comfortable in your new home in no time!

Why Study English in Calgary

Learn English for Studies: Those who would like to start a university course in Calgary need to first demonstrate an advanced level of English. Calgary is home to many prestigious institutions, such as the University of Calgary or Mount Royal University, and all of these places require prospective students to show proof of English proficiency to be considered for admission; these courses are taught and examined in English. So, you will be required to either have an overall TOEFL score of at least 97, a MELAB score of 83 or an IELTS score of at least 7.0. All of these exams can be quite challenging, so you should start preparing as soon as possible. Get in touch with us and we will tailor our Exam Preparation course to your requirements!

Learn English for Work: If you would like to advance your career and/or get a better job, then it is essential for you to learn English in Calgary. According to a study conducted by the Calgary Herald, 66% of respondents said they had a greater range of job options within their field and earned a better salary if they spoke English fluently. For instance, major companies like Advantage Oil and Gas, Accelaware, Albian Sands and ATCO have headquarters in the city and are always looking to hire new talents to add to their teams. One of their requirements, though, is that candidates need to have an advanced level of the English language. Sign up for a language course with us so you can stand out when applying for your dream job!

Learn English for Social and Culture: Mastering the English language will also allow you to connect with its population on a different level and to truly understand their culture. For example, you can join the Calgary English as a Second Language Meetup, a space for you to practise your English while making new friends with an interest in the language. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to further practise what you learn in your lessons with Language Trainers while expanding your social circle! And if you are looking to participate in cultural events, you should not miss the annual Calgary Stampede. Established in 1912, this is a festival that features rodeos, music, food and games. Sing along to their traditional tunes with the English pronunciation you acquire in your classes.
