[@PatrioteQuebecois]

@@Imsemble À mon humble avis, le débat sur la langue au Québec porte sur tout sauf la langue : c'est le rapport de domination d'une minorité sur une autre et l'inégalité se reflète dans la possibilité qu'ont les anglophones de ne pas avoir à apprendre le français et l'impossibilité pour un francophone d'avoir une carrière sans connaître l'anglais, d'où nos lois linguistiques pour protéger le français. Dire que le débat porte sur la langue au Québec, ce serait comme dire que le débat sur le racisme porte sur la mélanine dans la peau des gens aux États-Unis. Dans les deux cas, les causes des inégalités sont historiques et politiques, mais elles se reflètent dans des détails particuliers. Ici, en matière de connaissances individuelles des langues, il n'y a pas vraiment de débat : que chacun apprenne le maximum de langue qu'il peut!

[@lolinator.]

J'ai que du respect pour les autres cultures et les autres langues, mais je trouve ça quand même désolant de voir certaines personnes dans la vidéo qui savent pas parler français et qu'ils ont pas l'air de vouloir l'apprendre. J'ai trouvé ça très le fun de voir les gens qui parlent un peu français mais qui veulent vraiment l'apprendre, mais j'ai été un peu déçu quand il pose la question : si tu apprenais une langue, ce serait la quelle? et que leur réponse soit pas le français. Par contre je comprends ton point, je suis content qu'il aie pas posé de questions du genre : "Pourquoi est-ce que tu parle pas français?" ou "Comment te sens-tu dans une province où la majorité parle pas la même langue que toi?"; la vidéo aurait été trop politique.

Some cults even worshipped Daevas, the sworn enemies of the Ahuras, and considered them to be their true gods and the Ahuras as impostors. Ancient Iran was a truly wild place and it's a shame there isn't much literature or remnants left as they often kept shifting their capital cities due to conflicts.

Porque espanol se aprende muy facilmente y tenemos 75% de vocabulario comun. Al contrario los hablantes de ingles inician su aprendizaje del espanol con solamente 35% de vocabulario comun.

[@JimmyR42]

Their are 2 main reasons for that. Spanish being a latin language makes it a lot closer to french than other languages like deutsch or mandarin. The other reason is a political one that involves the linguistic war between english Canada and Québec french and also business. Because Canada has(had?) a free-trade agreement with Mexico, instead of learning english as a "business language", schools use to incentivize spanish a lot more. Also, in older generation that bilingualism tends to almost disappear, those who grew up with the internet have been much more exposed to english than previous generations and there is a clear bilingual chasm between the early 80s and older generations compared to the late 80s and younger ones. As I've often said, people think that Canada is bilingual, but Canada is english, Québec is french, Montréal is bilingual(english-french). Also Ottawa, but unless you work for the government, nobody wants to live in a town where bar close at 9pm (at least that's how the joke goes).
