Montreal is a city with a unique and fascinating linguistic history. It is not uncommon here to be sitting on the metro and overhear conversations that transition fluidly between English and French... and sometimes even a third language! People here grow up learning English and French from elementary school up until CEGEP. In this episode of Talking TESL, Sivan sits down with her close friend Sarah to talk about her experiences learning English in a francophone environment in the suburbs of Montreal. How did she feel about English growing up? What were her most positive and negative learning experiences? What aspects of the language came easily to her? What was difficult? Can you learn a language through video games? If you plan on teaching in Montreal, or are simply interested in candid opinions about language-learning here, then this is the episode for you!
