“ I have many goals for learning French—but being filled with that sense of pride from learning a new language is at the top!  The team at Alliance Halifax are remarkably kind, supportive, and make learning fun... all in a comfortable setting. Giving back through volunteering is one way I intend to use my acquired language skills!” -  Melody S. Coup de Pouce recipient 2024 


“J'ai de nombreux objectifs pour mon apprentissage du français, mais celui de ressentir la fierté d'apprendre une nouvelle langue est le plus important ! L'équipe d'Alliance Halifax est remarquablement gentille, encourageante et rend l'apprentissage amusant... tout cela dans un cadre confortable. J'ai l'intention d'utiliser mes compétences linguistiques acquises pour rendre service en faisant du bénévolat. - Melody S. Récipiendaire du Coup de Pouce 2024
