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)

[@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.

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.

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? 🤔

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.

What is the difference between the French spoken between in Quebec and the French spoken in Europe? What percentage of the population in Montreal is bilingual?
