There's a big Latin community in Montreal! Also, most high schools in Quebec offer Spanish as a third language elective (that's how I learned it).

The guy who didn't want to respond the survey but gave you a grammar lesson, that's somewhat representative of my experience in Montreal. Younger people usually switch back and forth between English and French, but most of my interactions with older people have been like that. You try your best to speak French, they notice an accent and reply in (often fairly good) English, then you switch to English and they reply in French. That when they don't start correcting your mistakes. It can very tiring to say the least.

It took me a while to become proficient in English, especially learning the locutions and cultural references. When it comes to TV, for examples, Québec has a very strong production (series, TV shows, movies) and people watch a lot of Québécois TV even today. Contents from the rest of Canada was minimal, although it has improved over the last few years. Today I speak French, English, Spanish. I understand basic Portuguese, Catalan.

It is rare to find unilingual people in Montreal. Most speak English and French, often with a third language that could be anything from Spanish to Italian to Chinese or go ahead and pick one, because if you walk around Montreal over a few days, you will likely hear many different languages being spoken. If you are under 60, and grew up in Montreal, you are at least functionally bilingual.

Later when I went to France, I found that the attitude there (especially in Paris) was at least as bad. I then learned the "trick" of pretending that I was from Poland and didn't know any English. Suddenly they would be able to understand and converse with me in French.

To be honest, this guy's answer would be the typical answer you get from older generation of Quebec. They tend to speak with a Staight to the point approach. They don't take into account feelings and they don't care about feelings either. It's more of a cultural thing and not about who you are or where your from. I'm from Quebec and every old people I know speak like that to each other and even to me. It's just how they grew up.

I have been a primarily English speaking tourist in Montreal and found most citizens accommodating and helpful as I used my very limited French to ask directions to get around or to order in restaurants. Montreal is a real international city, with a French heart. I really recommend it as a destination, so much to see, such great food.

Bon en rigolant un peu moins, la culture au Canada est vraiment différente d'une province à l'autre, (l'Alberta ressemble vraiment beaucoup au Texas des US, et le Nouveau-Brunswick ressemble un peu à la Belgique avec ces plusieurs langues utilisés) la relation entre le Québec et la majorité du Canada anglais est similaire à celle des Belges et des Français, on se tape sur la tronche, mais on s'aime quand même (petite exception pour l'Alberta qui a réussi à nous détrôner de la province la plus détesté autant par le Canada anglais et français haha). Le respect fait toujours parti selon moi de la définition du canadien moyen, le type qui s'excuse souvent, n'aime pas les embrouilles(sauf si cherché bien sûr) et une grande ouverture d'esprit. Côté économique, la vie au Canada est un peu plus dispendieuse qu'au US dût à leur surproduction massive, leur pouvoir d'achat supérieur et leur peur irrationnelle de payer des taxes et aider son prochain. On gagne par contre sur la qualité des produits, par exemple le lait américain se compare souvent à la pisse de chameaux comparé à celui canadien. Le prix des maisons est relativement stable au Québec, mais on ne peu pas en dire autant dans le reste du Canada, surtout en métropole. Côté politique, nous sommes centre gauche pour la majorité, mais aussi gauche que la définition européenne. L'éducation est à 95% payé par l'état, 100% pour le médical et environ 80-100% pour les prescriptions de médicaments. Au Québec, nous avons le principe de protection de la langue française puisque nous sommes une minorité dans le pays et avec une langue semi-mourrante. Et nous sommes très laïque, c'est à dire AUCUNE connection de l'état(école, police, hôpital, services de transports publiques, emplois gouvernemental etc) et la religion, certaines personnes nous traîtent de racistes, mais après avoir connu plus de 100ans de persécution et de contrôle par l'église catholique, on ne veux plus rien savoir de la religion main dans la main avec l'état. Les État-Unis sont de plus en plus critiqué au Canada, autant pour leur interférence dans nos politiques que pour la mauvaise réputation qu'ils ont en voyageant notre beau et calme pays (le convois anti-vaccin a reçu beaucoup de donations venant des US et plusieurs avaient des drapeaux Trump). Donc leur réputation prend un bon coup depuis les 7dernières années. Les Québecois en fait n'ont aucune difficulté à comprendre ou interpreté le français de france, belge ou suisse, c'est plutot l'inverse en fait. Les français on plus de difficulté à comprendre notre accent et expressions. Malgré cela, nous parvenons quand même aisément à avoir des discussions ou des rapprochements. Petit fait amusant, la France utilise le mot "ferry" pour un bateau de passagé, quand au Québec on utilise le mot "traversier", il y a plusieurs cas ou les français utilisent plus de mots anglais que nous dans leur dialect haha!

Living in Montreal and South Shore since 2012. I was born in Moldova. I speak 4 languages fluently: Romanian, Russian, French and English. I used to speak decently in Spanish, but didn't have practice in years. I can understand if the speech is not too quick and reading is very easy for me.

This is such nice content, so humam and real! I feel connected and relaxed!! Ehat makws this video so special and so different from most other Video is how real and honest it feels. Yoy can feel these are real so much more real was really out in a park and having since interactions with people.

Very cool and informative.

J'aimerais beaucoup aller a Québec. Je suis brésilien et je pense que le Canada c'est comme une modèle aux autres pays du continent en plusieurs de secteurs.

tu doit venir a Montreal, c'est une ville formidable :)

Me sorprendió que muchos hablan español😮 ahora mismo estoy en clases de francés:> ¡Espero algún día ir a Montreal!❤

Great video

i love so much your videos dude

Surprising how many Spanish speakers in this city! I shouldn't be surprised, I have recently accumulated quite a few Mexican neighbours (all lovely people, btw), out on Montreal's West Island.

I am frim the US and speak, English, Spanish, and French. English is my primary language. Learned Spanish in grade school through high school and college, and can still speak at a medium kevel today. I took Adult School French over 20 years ago and can still speak French at a basic conversation level. I specifically learned French because of my love for visiting Montreal and for wanting to speak French with the locals! One thing to note. Since I knew Spanish, it was very easy for me to pick up learning French, since both are Romance languages!

También tienes la ventaja inmensa de contar con muchos hispano-parlantes en EEUU. Lástimosamente no contamos con francófonos para practicar y no hay escuelas para aprender francés tampoco.

Im fluent in 3 languages, first 2 being French and English and even then, I took Spanish as my 3rd language class in IB high school here in Mtl and even though I spoke French fleuntly (and am a grammar and litterature freak in French) I had the hardest time with Spanish...I took 4 years and really had to get to talking with friends from southern america to get it going...but the again they use a lot of slang and spoke so fast that it did take me a minute to kind of be able to follow the conversation and whatnot...speaking French made understanding Spanish a breeze but speaking and the worst part : spelling...oh boy

@@mdte5421 this was recorded in Canada so…unless you meant North America, you’re not really talking about the right people. And most Montrealers actually come from Europe so they do more than visit and even if that’s not the case, do you know how many students do exchanges in Europe for like a whole semester or year?

great video! bon video frero

Cool video

People can say what they want about Quebec but you won't find many places in North America with so many bilinguals or trilinguals etc.

Not everywhere in Québec, just in Montreal. And if you go to Miami, New Orleans, Halifax, Ottawa and other places you will find lots of people that speak many different languages. So, yes you will find places with people being polyglotte

That's just Montreal.

I know that the average that speaks Spanish in Canada is little but I'm still loving how el español keeps his influence in the entire continent everywhere .

I loved this video.

i speak english fluently, and polish ig conversationally. im polish but i grew up in england - my parents always spoke polish in the house and so did i but once i started school i started switching to speaking english since i was pretty much constantly surrounded by it. moved to poland two years ago and im still not fluent but definitely better than i was when i was still living in england

Fluent in English and French, at a semi conversational level in German (though I find reading/writing much easier), and I know a few words of Spanish and Romanian. I can't hold a full convo in the last 2, but I understand some phrasings and can ask for things in a pinch while on vacation lol.

Awesome!

Very nice video. I have to go to Montreal in a couple of weeks and I was a little afraid I'd have problems to communicate... Looks like it's gonna be ok speaking only english.

I live in Montreal, and I speak French, English, Spanish and Hebrew and I have basic knowledge of German! I love Montreal. The lady who came to Montreal to visit her daughter who had her baby is right. It's a beautiful aspect of our province. #Freedomoflanguage

I’m from Montreal and I speak 5 :) I’m surprised there’s so much Spanish !! I don’t know many Spanish speakers here

Perfect, watched with pleasure.

Nice video! Making me love even more my city!🇨🇦🤍

Was not expecting that guy in the 2nd last shot last to be skateboarding! And pretty good too!

You may speak the language you want as long as french is respected. Personally, I speak french and english. I’ve always been stuying both languages wich I find important.

That's a very interesting vox pop, you see the newest evolution of this society where people are tending to speak a 3rd language, obviously spanish. It's especially usefull in north america and it would be interesting to know the reasons (leisure travel, immigration/cultural influence, business, etc).

Great potential--some tips: 1) standup interviews where you're in frame is a popular format for these videos and gives you the opportunity to add more of your personality and good for short clips for more views on KZread shorts, 2) put subtitles on these videos 3) list what languages they speak somewhere to make it more visually appealing--hope these are helpful!

I met many people saying that they speak Spanish, but when I switch to Spanish, they can barely put 2 sentences together. 🤣Some people think when they know a couple of words or sentences, they speak the language.

My mom has lived and worked in Florence, Italy for many years when she was young and she learned me a bit of italian and i can def say that it helps a lot with learning french💙

great video
