[@luxuvii7218]

I'm french canadian and the only thing I would give as an advice to anyone wanting to move to Montreal is that if at some points you want to visit other cities in the province of Québec like Quebec city, Gaspésie etc. you will most likely need at least some basic French. Also, being bilingual in both language is a really huge plus and like said can sometime be required depending on your job industry. Indeed, it's true that some french people doesn't like english speaking people, there's a long history behind it but I would say, as long as you're making an effort/showing effort the french peeps will appreciate it :) I think what french peeps get angry on is when some english people doesn't care/show no interests in learning basic french despite living in a french province!

[@clashlogs1854]

I am learning french these days, can I send you my writing and speaking for evaluation?

[@pawzillasmash]

I noticed that too. When I went on a road trip towards Gaspesie, the fact that we even tried to speak in french made the locals really happy. Not to mention they were some of the nicest people. Locals were friendly and tried to help us as much as possible. They just want you to try which is completely understandable.

[@skyvenger7724]

@@sheldoncooper0 lol you got owned by a ton of facts saying you're wrong and all you have to add is how the ''french lost'' I pity your pettiness end of story, if you're going to be a resident of the province of Québec (in or out of Montreal) it's important that you try to learn some french out of RESPECT for the rest of the francophone population in that province and city. And just so you know, all political assemblies in Québec (on the provincial level) are in french, provincial owned stores communicate in french, and everywhere you go, you are assured to get a french service. You can't go to a store and have none of the employees speak a word of french. and like Zoe said in her video, as long as people see that you're trying to use a bit of french, quebecois are really respectful of your efforts in 99% of the time and will gladly help you with their broken english and teach you a french word or two

Quick analysis for people wanting to settle and live in Montréal. French vs English edition. If you want to live in Montréal and live in French, don't want to learn English: Go to the far east of the city. If you want to learn English but live in French, go center east or downtown. If you want to live in Montréal and live in English, don't want to learn French: Go to the far west of the city. If you want to learn French but live in English, go center west or downtown. Downtown is where culture and languages all blend. If you do settle in Montréal I would at least recommand knowing French basics because of the law 101 that helps us protect the French language. I won,t go into details, you gotta know the history of Canada to understand the law 101's legitimacy. TLDR: we're kind of the last rampart of French (there's 1 million of French speaker outside of Québec too), surrounded by 330 million English speakers. I wouls also suggest to learn French if you come just out of respect, people will appreciate the effort. What Zoe said is true, we tend to switch to English pretty quick because your French will be bad when you first start learning it, which is totally normal and fine, but we do appreciate it deep down, we just want to accomodate you. So if you want to practice it, just say "no, no, I want to practice my French please, I want to get better." We will really be grateful. Have a safe trip, it is a great city, it has its flaws like everywhere else, but it's is a beautiful city. As we say here: Montréal, je t'aime. (Montréal, I love you)

[@gerardvinet8448]

I speak English , and I live in Repentigny , worked in Montreal-East , never had problems , how wrong U are , this is not the 1970's !!!!

[@francisvoyer]

@@gerardvinet8448 of course there are some exceptions... Generalizing doesn’t mean it applies to everyone, but I’m curious, with a name like that, you’re sure your mother tongue isn’t French? 🤔😅

[@peteindigo890]

As a French-speaking Montrealer, I would highly recommend learning a bit of French if you want to live here. For me, it's a question of respect. We don't care if your English is not perfect, but we do appreciate anglophones making an effort. Most of us do speak English, so why not return the respect? So in that sense, it's hard to understand why a lot of people don't make an effort, not even to say "Bonjour". And I understand that it's Zoe's experience that English is not required for her work, but if you don't know a minimum of French, many employers will not even return a phone call, specially if it's a customer-facing job. It is a French province after all.

[@veroniquelauzon2801]

Although it is possible to live in Montreal without speaking French, it is important to know that there is only one official language in Québec, and it is French. It means that it is the official language of work and the official language of education. It is important to know as it may avoid some frustrations: Your employer is not forced by law to provide contracts or work-related information in other language then French and unless you are willing to pay a lot of money annually, your kids will get an education in French unless you have a historical right.

[@dubmait]

That's very true where people think your French isn't good enough and switch to English. It's the same in France. Makes French very difficult to learn

[@anamakesthings]

Uff... I don't want to be a Debbie downer, but being proficient in French (not just kind of good) is definitely important if you want to live and work here. Sure, you might find a job at a multi-national type of company where your English will be enough, or you can get the lowest of the lowest income jobs (flipping burgers, loading FedEx trucks). But basically, if your French isn't good enough you'll only have access to about 10-15% of job opportunities. Not only that, but when you leave your anglophone bubble, you'll come across people who don't know speak any English. And that doesn't apply just to people outside of Montréal. For instance, my boyfriend's mom who's lived and worked here as a law professor all of her adult life still doesn't speak any English. Long story short: LEARN YOUR FRENCH!!!!! It's not only respectful towards the culture you are kindly welcomed into, but very important for your social and professional life.

South West is the best! St Henry and the point are very authentic. If you can't speak French, don't leave Montreal and never confuse Montreal as being representative of the province of Quebec. Montreal is basically a separate part of the province.

[@666mathew]

If you speak spanish only, you could live in the U.S. such as Texas, New Mexico, or California just to name a few, without speaking a word of english, much like you could work and live in Montréal without speaking a word of French. However, in both cases, I don't recommend it. It's a lack of respect and a failure to integrate.

I just want to add some more info for vegetarians; Montreal has a lot of vegan and vegetarian friendly restaurants that are affordable. Even at non-vegetarian restaurants and fast-food joints there are plenty of decent meatless options and if not, staff are usually pretty good with removing meat or putting it on the side (for your friends and family who may eat it) if you ask. I highly encourage you to do your research! "Pushap" for example is a really great cheap vegetarian Indian restaurant, and Warehouse has really cheap (but also a bit small in portion) sized vegan, meat and vegetarian friendly options as well.

Many times, in airplanes for example, we have to listen to security measures in english because the one in french are inaudible.

Hi there! We live in Athens, Greece, my husband is Greek Canadian born in Montreal. We are thinking of moving to Montreal cos education system is much much better there, thinking of our kids. I really love to learn French I like it very much but I cant speak at all yet. I m little afraid it will take too long. I have been working in shipping company here in Athens. Do u think I could start working in shipping with my English and learn the same time French? 🤔

You don't need to "learn french" you need to use it!!! Huge difference. A lot of people say that they learned French so now they feel morally right. However if you don't use it you're killing a culture whether you like it or not, it's a fact.

Sounds like what Quebec is doing to minorities. And also the indigenous. Culture isn't determined by language it's customs you can do everything french style in English so park it
