Canada is
a bilingual country with two official languages, English and French.
The vast majority (75 per cent) of Canada's French-speaking inhabitants
live in the province of Qu�bec, which is located in the eastern
part of the country but there are French-speaking communities
throughout the country.
According
to a 1991 census, French is the mother tongue of 82 per cent of
Qu�bec's population and is spoken at home by 83 per cent of Qu�becers.
Internationally,
it is estimated that some 800 million people speak English and
250 million speak French. As a bilingual nation, Canada offers
superior English as a Second Language (ESL) and French as a Second
Language (FSL) training for students wishing to learn either or
both languages.
