3. Mais oui, monsieur!
I'm just a refugee from my college French class -- but I did get a "B" in the course.

Are you in Montreal?

8. Depends on your point of view
Edited on Sat Jun-18-05 02:43 PM by gula
Mostly, European french-speakers consider me French-Canadian, while
French-Canadians consider me European. Personally I would say that, if anything, I am a Europe-born Montréal-Canadian.

Edited to add, no no not one of THOSE Montréal-Canadians, unfortunately. Sure wouldn't mind the salary.

10. I'm half.
Sort of. My mom is half, but was raised French-Canadian (french as her first language) not in Quebec though. I went to french school and was fluent in french, but, it's been awhile.

14. My Grandfather was a Quebecois
from Lachute, he learned English by courting my Anglais Grandmother. He offered, and tried, to teach me "real" French when I was young, but I was living in Ontario and didn't see the point.

Any smatterings of French I have now are due to school and not from a native speaker. Opportunity lost. Sad.
