Testimonials

Research Associate

I am grateful to be supported by the University of Ottawa in my journey to becoming completely bilingual. The business-oriented French as a second language (FLS) courses have greatly improved my confidence in speaking and writing French, and I appreciate that the University invests in its employees in this way.
