Montreal linguism
May 24, 2009 - 4:01am
Hey everyone, been a while since I've posted. I'm currently trying to learn more about Canada, and am wondering (assuming someone here is from Quebec and/or Montreal) if in Montreal, they typically speak both English and French there? And can someone integrate in Montreal without knowing French?
Downtown, and in certain neighbourhoods, one can certainly function without knowing french. But to truly experience Montreal, it is a must.
I lived in Montreal (Ville Emard) for a year, and I highly recommend it. If I'd stayed, I'm sure my broken french would be more than passable by now. I regret that I didn't stay, and still take advantage of every opportunity I have to visit.
