Yeah, what's the HYS of Canada and how do I apply as a foreign student?

University of Toronto or McGill.

As a Quebec resident, McGill costs about 4500 a year. If your parent is a staff at the university, it costs 1600.

Fucking what. Okay, new plan. McGill or bust. My family is Acadian so I should get residency pretty quick, right?

If you have Canadian citizenship but an undeclared residency you can declare QC after 1st year.

UGH why did we lose the birth lottery. I don't know if I would feel right without any debt at all. It's a part of who I am as an American.

I'm from upstate NY so I automatically qualify for Canadian citizenship right?

Gotta speak decent French to go to McGill my American friends...or else i would have applied there. Also they dont require the LSAT. Also their tuition is in Canadian dollars which makes it considerably cheaper.

I mean I grew up with creole being spoken in the house, so if I have to I can learn French.

I took five years of American public school French... which means I can order food.

I did an French immersion program for a month in Montreal when i was 18. We had classes like 5hrs a day monday to friday. Didnt learn any french, just ended up getting drunk and going out a lot because the drinking age is 18 there. I miss Montreal.

I identify with this strongly. My undergrad has a 6 semester language requirement and I kept passing to each level without getting any better than I was the semester before. I can still only order food

Yep, I have a minor in Chinese and can speak Mandarin about as well as a close friend who visited Beijing for a few weeks. Language instruction is completely bogus at 95% of schools, immersion without hand-holding is the only way to actually get fluent in anything.

Honestly Duolingo is an amazing tool if you're either taking daily classes which are in a pure immersion environment (i.e. the only language spoken in the classroom is the new language) or speaking with a native speaker at least three or four times a week. By itself it won't do anything but help you with vocab.

I've worked for a language education non-profit since high school so I've been involved in this for a while; Duolingo is actually a very well-built app for language learning, but at best it's a supplement to a real immersion environment since it is mostly asking you English questions with new-language answers. The most effective language acquisition and education occurs in an environment where you can't use English as a reference point.

Dig deep. Get coffee. Read newspaper articles about Scalia's legacy because who's going to get made at you if you're reading about the Supreme Court?

Corgis are my second favorite dogs (french bulldogs FTW) and I can get behind this trend.
