Bonjour Yasmeen , bienvenue à Montréal !

[@louisd.8928]

It's nice of you not to take a side in our never ending linguistic debates. I would also add that approaching this issue without judgement, but rather with a spirit of mutual respect, is immensely more constructive that the usual "francophones are racists" or "anglophones are imperialists".

[@doseofyasmeen]

thank you so much!! :)

HELLOOOO ITS YASMINE THE GORGEOUS GIRL

[@doseofyasmeen]

so sweet of you!!

[@DaddyDaughterBroadcasting]

Really appreciate your neutral and open minded approach. You shouldn’t be expected to speak fluent french if you’re coming here as a student though, especially since you’ve chosen an anglophone college. All the best for your studies! 🙂👊

[@doseofyasmeen]

Thank you so much! :) appreciate it

[@TheKheyiShow]

You’re so beautiful, recently got admired to Concordia and got my study permit approved.. would meet with you soon!

[@doseofyasmeen]

Good luck!!

[@lifeisinrelationship]

How has it been studying there?

[@FM-dm3rk]

Thank you so much for this video. It’s very helpful, I’m trying my best to learn French right now, and I’ll study it more. I’m moving to Montreal this year, and I’m excited to embrace the language and culture. I hope the native speakers in Quebec will be patient with me and my family. I’m moving there because I want to be immersed in the language, and learn to speak it. Your channel is great. I hope my daughter can meet you someday. She will be applying to transfer to McGill or Concordia and is your age. If you’re willing to connect with her, I can give you her contact info ❤️💜

[@doseofyasmeen]

Thank you so much! Yes for sure :)

[@jesseduodu-owusu6731]

Hi Yasmeen! Jesse here. If Quebec were classed as a country in Canada, would you speak English there, too, as if it is widely spoken?

[@renataavina7237]

My mom is planning on moving to Montreal and I dont know french :[

[@doseofyasmeen]

If u have some extra time this summer, try using Duolingo! It’s great for learning new languages (at least the basics)

[@sprinklepancake]

Im planning to go to montreal:(

[@Mecduhall91]

I want to move to Quebec but I chose to move to France. Mais bonne chance à toi Des États Unis 🇺🇸

[@arwasaid1130]

May I ask what you are majoring in? And do you think they accept IGCSE students?

[@doseofyasmeen]

International development studies! And yes they do!!

[@sutoeben]

I understand that people may struggle learning it after moving there..but I don't get how people are born and raised there and never learn French.

[@redMaple_QC]

They are plenty. It's often out of contempt.

[@Alfonso222]

My great grandparents came here from Ireland and England. My grandparents grew up here. My parents grew up here. I grew up in Ontario and living here again for the second time. All of us were/are anglophones. There have always been strong pockets of anglo communities in Montreal. Beyond knowing how to order a coffee in french, I don't need to learn anything, as I work remotely for a company outside of Quebec. If you don't need French for your job, you can get by easily without it, and that's okay.

[@sutoeben]

@@Alfonso222 I guess..but imagine it the other way around. If you are born in Alberta and never learn English, people will think you're rude for not trying to assimilate. Not sure why anglos get a pass.

I was born in Montreal My Dad talks to me in Italian My Mom talks to me in English When I was growing up I went to a French school From kindergarten to College { French } I went to McGill University in English { English } I speak three languages French Italian English as a native speaker I strongly encourage parents to place their children in the French school system if they speak English at home This way children will speak perfect French and English as native speaker like me. I want to add, if French parents speak French at home and send their children to a French-only school, they will ONLY be able to communicate in French. This will only make Quebec their Prison they will never work outside of Quebec. If the adult child gets a job offer say in the USA, or anywhere outside of Quebec, and only can communicate in French, no one will hire them, hence Quebec is their Prison.

[@jackfordon5532]

C'est seulement au Québec où on parle français ? Je croyais avoir entendu d'autres pays francophones, par exemple la France ?? Même si tu parles anglais, tu seras toujours dans une prison linguistique, c'est juste un peu plus grande que la prison francophone. Le monde anglais a aussi ses limites, même si les anglophiles du monde racontent une autre histoire

[@sammexp]

Pfff... I went to French school only, my parents don’t even speak a good English and my English level is advanced. Because we are surrounded by English speakers, anyway. By the way, French is an international language

[@sammexp]

@@jackfordon5532 C’est quand ils vont en Afrique que là, ils se rendent compte que l’anglais est limité.

[@2HAMMERS1]

@@sammexp Well this is part of the problem, You went to a French school and never attended an English school, and to top it off your parents don’t even speak good English which explains your way of thinking that French is an international language. if you had a formal English education you would know better, but sadly this is not the case. Il est vrai que vous êtes capable de parler à n'importe qui en français pendant votre séjour au Québec et aussi : France (60 millions de locuteurs natifs) Canada (7 millions de locuteurs natifs) Belgique (4 millions de locuteurs natifs) Suisse (2 millions de locuteurs natifs) Congo-Kinshasa Congo-Brazzaville Côte d'Ivoire Madagascar Cameroun Burkina Faso Niger Mali Sénégal Haïti Bénin Most of the listed countries have an all-black population And most countries are not even safe for a white man to live or visit. Watch this video then tell me you as a white man want to go there with your wife and daughter kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqGYq5Zrh7SnsKc French is not even spoken in all the Canadian Provinces let alone other countries.

2 solitudes.

[@anthonyguada]

>>> a niu French language a prison. French is not only spoken in Québec but in France , Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium Morocco, Algeria, Haïti , Madagascar, Congo lebaneon etc

[@redMaple_QC]

You go to university. So I assume you are an intelligent person. So just learn French.

[@doseofyasmeen]

Boooooooo

[@joenroute9646]

If just rude and arrogant , not to learn french in Montréal . For those who do not prefer to speak french .Please do not use the racist card. In Rome do as Romans do !

[@fieuxmz1778]

ey le gros, ce sont des étudiants internationaux qui choisissent d’étudier dans nos universités, tu devrais en être fier au lieu de critiquer ceux qui ont de la difficulté à apprendre la langue française.

[@robin-bq1lz]

@@fieuxmz1778 je pense qu’ils parlent des touristes de 10 ans sans savoir encore parler français, ça prend 6 mois apprendre la base d’une langue.

[@nhlsens3880]

Languages are not easy to learn. It is actually colonial to force someone to learn a language that is not native to this land...

[@Alfonso222]

My family has lived in Montreal for 4 generations as anglophones. We have a rich history here and should not be ignored or pushed out. We are a part of Montreal's history just as much as francophones are.
