Christine Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Oh it sounds like you had a great time Cubitus! I don't think I've done any of that except for the Tim Horton's part. We have our own Eaton Centre in Toronto and it's my local shopping centre so I'm there a lot. It's also a big tourist attraction. Did you just come to Canada to sightsee or were you visiting people?

cubitus Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 And I'm officially a fan of the franco-ontarians with the way they switch their conversation from top english to a perfect french !!! I loved the openness of mentality in Canada , the way everyone is more than welcomed , I felt like I was home !! people are so easy going and not complicated !! I think I should start my immigration papers hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Oh yes, please come and live here. Ha! What's your boyfriend doing here? Is he originally from France? I've got a few Montréal emigrants in my office and they are anglophones but switch to French very easily. I find the French of English speakers (like Mika) a bit easier to understand than francophone French. They tend to speak a bit slower I think.

Christine Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 yeah, we speak fast in French (Quebec)... and have weird expressions!!!! Well even Parisian French is easier for me to understand from someone who is an English speaker. Although I always have an easier time with Parisian French because that's what we're taught in public school for some unknown reason I later took some conversational classes at l'Alliance Française which is taught by Europeans.

No he's originally like me lebanese , but we both speak french , english and lebanese dialect. He works in engineering. He's more fluent in english than me , but I still manage to have a conversation in a decent english , the english of Canada seemed tome easier than the american. Oh and I met the actor Xavier Dolan who plays in "j'ai tué ma mère" on the plane ! It happens that I saw the dvd the night before taking back the plane to Nice , I think he was heading to Canne's film festival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
