jc-san Posted May 4, 2005 at 10:28 PM Report Posted May 4, 2005 at 10:28 PM I am French-Spanish student (from time to time) of Chinese on my own, plus one year in a Chinese school in Barcelona. At the end of this year or beginning 2006 I'll be moving to Montreal. I just wanted to know about the possibilities of studying Chinese there (universities, schools, HSK...) and about the Chinese community in this city. Is the Chinese community mainly settled in Toronto or scattered by the whole country? What about the Quebec province? Quote
l'Anonyme Posted May 10, 2005 at 04:53 AM Report Posted May 10, 2005 at 04:53 AM There are quite a few Chinese people in Montreal ... (I should know, I'm one of them). We have a pretty large Chinese community, I'd say, though not as big as Vancouver / Toronto, obviously. Also, most peopel speak Cantonese. However, if you want to study Chinese, most schools teach Mandarin. You can do continuing education-type courses (usually about 1x/week, not very intensive ... ) at several CEGEPs, including Dawson College. Right now, I'm studying Chinese at McGill University. I know Universite de Motnreal also offers Chinese courses at a similar level. Classes are intensive (5 hours/week in the school year, 20 hours/week if you take a summer course) and fairly high quality - I've definitly learned a lot. good luck! Montreal is great, you'll love it. Quote
