I need help ! =)

I am looking for japanese classes (for my friend and myself), in Canada. I'm from Québec, I live close to Montreal, and I've been looking for some japanese lessons for a few months now. I speak french and english perfectly.

I did find Berlitz, a great school. But the prices were too high for me. I am also a full time student studying Graphic Design.

If anyone knows where I can find japanese lessons close to Montreal or Laval in Canada, i would be very grateful ! I wouldnt mind getting private lessons either !

Thanks in advance !!!

You guys in Canada are lucky, you got a lot of Japanese schools in the country. Just checking the web, you have these schools in the general Montreal area (not sure how close they are to you but you can give them a call or use google maps):
