What Country were you born?

Nope, I don't speak French yet. I have a friend from Cote d'Ivoire who is trying to teach me, though it's going along quite slowly! He's from Abidjan, too, actually.

I can figure out some French with context clues, but I can only usually guess at what's being said. *L* I think I know what you were getting at, though, and I will send the friend request again!

 

I can speak a bit of French and what I don't know I just ask. Profound, I know.

 

Would I be wrong to assume that a higher percentage of native French speakers in Canada can converse in English than native English speakers in Canada can converse in French? It seems like that's the case, being there are more native English speakers than French speakers in Canada.

 

Born: County Roscommon, Ireland

City I Grew up in-Dc baby, so sad the Skins are done, now I have to root for the neighboring Ravens.

Reside- Springfield, Massachusetts due to ex husband, but moving to ATL in July

 

You are correct Dex. More francophones speak English than Anglophones speak French. In the province of Quebec, French is the official language. That is the highest density of francophones many of whom do not speak English at all. It's sad to consider we have two official languages but the majority of people can speak only English.

 

I was born in Rome, Italy and still live in Italy

 

welcome compaesana!

 

Lucky you! You can see the Vatican. It's my lifelong dream.

 

I see

Do you think that having two official languages takes away from a single national identity? I say that because of recent history, with the Quebec independence referendum narrowly failing back in '95
