Postby Julia from Russia » Wed Jan 04, 2006 9:28 pm

Hi!
Could you tell me,please,about the relationships between Canadian students?I've heard that they are absolutely indifferent to each other.Is it true?
This year I'm going to immigrate to Canada.I am 16 years old.In Canada I am going to study in college.I haven't ever been abroad, so I don't know foreign people at all.

Are their relationships the same as in Russia (if you ever been there)?What is the difference?

К сожалению, я никогда не был в Руссию, я из Афстралии!
I think that you will find Canadians quite friendly. I have lived there for a time and found them to be similar to Americans in customs but maybe a little more friendly and open. I don't think that you need worry about other kids in school.

Quebec is not a nice place to visit for people does not speak French. They hate people speaking English. I’ve been in Canada many times but Quebecers are queer. I know they can speak both French and English but they give you the cold shoulder if you asking them in English. Montreal is must better. People speak French but they are happy to speak English with you. I wouldn’t go back to Quebec again.

I did mean the Quebec, not only the town Quebec.

Quebecers defend their language, their culture, in the middle of english-speaking parts (globalization and absorption). It is totally legitime, face to the many people who learn only english.

Quebec is very nice town !

Quebecers don't hate the immigrant. They simply ask that what should be spontan : immigrants and tourists to learn the local language, the local culture.

If you are searching for hatred, let you go to Ontario, there where many hate Quebecers.

There are a lot of others ways to defend your language , culture . The Quebecois are very well known for theirs attitude towards English language or english people ( certainly we can't generalize ) .
In the same way France does compared to English language .

Quebec is very nice town !


I agree with you .

Why should a tourist learn French ? I lost something , because it is very hard for me to understand this .

Regards . :)
