“The OP is going to have research programs for adults bc most other programs are for students”

I will admit that I might have missed in this thread which languages OP is interested in.

Someone I know took a French immersion course over the summer in Canada. She said that there were quite a few students who were college age, but also quite a few students who were adults.

Apparently some jobs in Canada, particularly some government jobs, require that the worker be bilingual. Some employees from the English parts of Canada have trouble keeping their French strong, and therefore some take an immersion course every year or every few years. There are multiple universities in Quebec with French immersion courses, as well as one (U. de Moncton) in New Brunswick and one (U. Sainte Anne) in Nova Scotia. I think that there may also be some in other provinces. These are very reasonably priced and at least for us not too far away. They cater to a range of speaking abilities (students are divided among classes based on their ability).
