I would like to express my gratitude to CSAI and the province of Quebec for granting us the chance to learn French. Our aim is to fully integrate into Quebec society. Despite the challenges brought about by the pandemic, we were able to enhance our understanding of the language through our studies. We have made significant progress in speaking and comprehending French in both formal and informal settings, such as on the streets or in shops.
