#MiniReview #Travel Montréal in Canada is a nice city with plenty to see and plenty to do, including diverse architecture and a rich culinary, cultural and entertainment offer. But even on the second visit I still can’t get past the twin language (Québécois-English) quirk and the cultural mix between Old French and Contemporary North American cultures breaks my brain used to Metropolitan French culture and American culture separately.
Do you find the French-speaking Quebecois easy to understand? I remember back in high school the exchange students from Bergerac took a day trip up to MTL and found the local dialect hilarious.
@Brian Ó It really depends. The more popular Québécois dialects are harder to understand for me, because of the inclusion of many English words whose pronunciation is novel.

But even the fancier Québécois that's closer to Metropolitan French sounds off and, in a fashion I've not heard replicated in any other language, hilarious.
