From studying French, I have learned a few things about this already. In Montreal there is a conflict going on concerning the French and English languages. Some parts, like commercial and business areas, want the city to be an Anglophone city, or an English speaking city. Many people in the rural areas speak French as their native language and have only learned English for when they need to go into the city. Right now French is the official language of Quebec, but because English is threatening to take over as the official language, there are tensions between the people who live there.
People don t know whether to use French or English when speaking to each other.
I find this subject very intriguing and would like to know more about how they believe they can overcome this dilemma. I believe that this issue needs to be resolved so that everyday life in Montreal isn't a struggle to keep peace between French and English-speaking people. The next culture that interests me is the French culture itself in France. I want to know why French culture is different from American culture in fashion, lifestyles, home-life, education, and many other aspects. There are many differences in our cultures that I haven t even thought about.
