FR/EN Canadian looking for japanese pal

alxpowa · (#1 (**permalink**))

Hi, my name is Alex, I am 23 and I live in Quebec, Canada. I am planning a trip to japan early next year and I have begun learning japanese. I'd like to share talk with a japanese person to better learn their ways, culture and over all, have fun!

I speak english and french, I'm on MSN, but if you have a better proposition, feel free!

I hope I can make some friends!

Have a nice day!

I know this is a rather out-of-topic question, but is Canadian French any different from its European counterpart?

Well, we mostly understand each other, as long as it does not fall too much into slang / street language. One's slangs or expressions are hard to understand for his cross-atlantic cousins.

And I also think, correct me if I'm wrong, but I noticed that in France for example, english words were more naturally introduced into the vocabulary.

Ex.: WCs, McDonald's McFish, etc.

Where in Quebec, english words are only used in popular language.
