The official ESL in Canada study recommendation for new Canadians or ESL English students over the age of 20 is to study English as a second language with a professional ESL English tutor.
Many ESL students make the mistake of going to an ESL school to meet fellow students or meet new friends. You do not have to pay $1000 a month to meet new friends to study with. You can meet new friends to study with at our FREE ESL Cafe classes.
Do not confuse learning and socializing. You can socialize for free. When you pay for teaching - get the best.
The best ESL schools in Canada put 10 to 14 ESL students into a class at $10 to 15 dollars each per hour. The ESL English students are paying $10 to $15 for 4 to 6 minutes of individual participation time in these ESL English classes. The bad ESL English schools put 15 to 25 students into classes with no individual time for students.
Excellent ESL English tutors can be hired for 60 minutes of individual study time to participate, correct English pronunciation, correct English grammar, explain English vocabulary and improve English language fluency.
During a month program students at an excellent ESL school will get 10 hours of individual participation time while ESL English students of ESL English tutors will get 40 hours of individual participation time for the same price.
Hiring a professional ESL English tutor or ESL English teacher or English language Skills coach for 1 or 2 hours a day is less expensive and creates more ESL English learning and ESL English practice teacher time than any ESL English language school in Canada.
If you have a best friend who is also learning ESL and at your level - study together with a 2 for 1 price with the teacher - it can be better than any school in Canada.

Every Monday and Wednesday evenings from 7 to 8:30 PM there are free "ESL Cafe" English as a Second Language conversation sessions. (except holidays)
The last summer class was July 30, 2014 - next class is Monday September 8th, 2014 - happy holiday everyone.
The free English Cafe conversation classes are offered at the St. Paul's Anglican Church located at 227 Bloor Street East, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. St. Paul's is located about 400 meters East of the Yonge and Bloor Street intersection on the south side of Bloor Street.
St Paul's Bloor Street provides the location as a public service to the Toronto community and provides tea and coffee which usually goes well with cookies. Last week Roy brought my favourite Oreo cookies. They were great. You can bring snacks to the class. Sometimes we all bring food from around the world and share. It is an excellent method of learning about the world.
