Are you a Canadian citizen? My friend told me about this really awesome program for canadian citizens where you can live with a quebec family for a length of time, and speak only french.

Many Quebec Universities offer programs…the major ones I know of are
McGill University (english university, offers intensive french programs)
Concordia University (ditto above…not sure aout the french programs there though)
University de Montreal (french university)
University de Quebec a Montreal, or a Trois Riviers, or any of the other University de Quebecs… (french)
University de Sherbrooke–about an hour’s drive outside of Montreal.

Beware of the fact that Quebecois french and France french are quite different…I think it’s a great idea to prep by doing time in Quebec, however don’t expect all the slang you hear to be a part of normal french ;)
