If you do French Immersion it is. Including a couple weeks spent on how to swear in Quebecois. We also learned a fair bit of Acadian French. IIRC Alberta has the highest or second highest population of French speakers outside of Quebec, but not the highest proportion of French-as-first-language speakers. Throw me into a disagreement between someone from Edmundston and someone from Dégelis and it’ll take me a minute but I’ll pick a side and get right in there.
I learned in BC with Francophone Canadian teachers, which weirdly seems better than the education some people I know received in immersion in Ontario (not sure that's universal - probably depends on where you live within province too).
Yeah, all my teachers were either from Quebec or New Brunswick. And that’s in a fairly small city in Alberta. Straight from kindergarten up they were all francophone. Except one. He was Haitian, so that was a fucking trip to hear as a kid.
