Update: Learning English with CBC comes to an end on November 25, 2020

Dear English Learners and Teachers,

In 2010 we launched Learning English with CBC to serve the needs of English as a Second Language learners in Alberta. We are delighted to see how this project has grown to provide free English lessons to thousands of learners in the past ten years.

In 2021, we will be launching a new way for ESL learners to learn English through a CBC/Radio-Canada initiative called Mauril. Learning English with CBC will not be returning after the winter hiatus as we prepare for the launch of Mauril in 2021.

Mauril will be a new, free and ad-free digital project that will help users learn English and French. The lessons will use a wide range of interesting and entertaining content from CBC/Radio-Canada. It is designed to help learners improve oral comprehension and integrate language knowledge in everyday life. 

The lessons will be available from basic to advanced levels, including interactive teaching tools to improve second-language comprehension and expression.

Mauril is named after the Honourable Mauril Bélanger—the former Ottawa-Vanier Member of Parliament who promoted Canada's official languages. Funded and endorsed by the Government of Canada, this new tool is designed and deployed by CBC/Radio-Canada, in collaboration with a committee of experts. 

We hope you will take advantage of our new tool once it launches. If you would like to stay up to date on the official launch of Mauril, please send an email to learningenglish@cbc.ca.

On behalf of the Learning English with CBC team, we want to thank you for your support of this project over the past ten years.

Thank you,

The Learning English with CBC team
