Top 3 tips for learning French in the UAE and immigrating to a French-speaking country.

1. Prepare your project

Deciding to move to a French-speaking country is not something to be taken lightly. You need to plan well in advance to study the real possibilities for working and living in the host country like France, Switzerland and France.

Canada, the French-speaking country par excellence,is one of the top destinations for expatriates in 2025. 
According to the magazine le petitjournal.com, 'move to Canada' was typed 127,800 times in one year on Google, making Canada the second most popular expatriation destination in 2025. And in UAE, many expatriates want to move to canada after a few years.
To help you prepare for your move, I recommend that you take a look at the petitjournal.com website: le petit journal which provides lots of practical information on living and settling in the host country.

Here are a few important questions you should ask yourself when planning your move:
- What is the country's health system? What is the cost of private insurance?
- What sectors of activity are recruiting? And what qualifications do you need to apply?
- The education system: how much do schools cost?
- The cost of living: what is the average salary?
- What are the requirements for immigrating to the country, in terms of language skills?

2.learning French in stages

As you know, mastery of the French language is a prerequisite for immigrating to Canada, and particularly to Quebec. The minimum level required is B2 (the 4th level) And the equivalent of the Delf B2 certification. It's the advanced language reference level. 

It's important to understand that acquiring language skills takes time. You don't go from beginner to advanced level in 6 months. It would be a lie to make you believe that, because learning French, like any other language, is a step-by-step process.There are 6 levels in the referencing of foreign languages and on average it takes 5 months per level, so if you do the maths yourself, you're going to need a bit of time.

Especially as practice is the fundamental step in enabling new skills to be reused.As you know, mastery of the French language is a prerequisite for immigrating to Canada, and particularly to Quebec.

The idea here is to give you the key information you need to prepare for your project and stay motivated.

3. Choose your institute carefully

 The United Arab Emirates has a large number of foreign language training institutes and centres because unfortunately not everyone sells only quality.

So it's important to choose the right people.
Not all language centres are listed in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and offer training programmes to learn French leading to DELF certification or TEF or TCF equivalent. .That's the first point. Make sure that the programmes are DELF-certified.

You should also look at the expertise of the teachers. I'm talking here about the DAEFLE training courses offered by the Alliances Françaises in Paris and elsewhere in the world, which are the only ones referenced in the diploma awarded for teaching French as a foreign language.
These teachers receive recognised training to teach French methodically and effectively to foreigners.
It is important to refer to them to ensure the quality of the training content and the correct pronunciation of the words.
