A friend of mine who lived in Montreal and him and his wife had two children. As he came from a Greek family his parents always spoke Greek to the kids, his wife is French and her family spoke French to the kids, and the two parents spoke English to each other and to the kids. So their kids grew up speaking 3 languages at home. I visited once and the kids were in around 10 and 12, they would carry on a conversation between themselves and would speak all three languages. One may say something in English, the other would respond in French, then switch to Greek. It was amazing to see how easily they just switched without even thinking. It drove their parents crazy because although they each spoke their native language and English, they had to think about it more, it wasn't as natural as the kids.
Finally setelah 2 thn ikutin ternyata org indo jg ❤. Thank you for the nice video'nya , sangat membantu bgt apalagi buat kami yg rencana mau ke Canada. God bless you and Family, sukses selalu 🙏😇
A very articulate and detailed video. By the way, I used to learn French (one of the official languages of Canada) - back in my high school days (by watching some breakfast television programs - I can get Radio-Canada and TVA (on cable TV) back then). I also learned French by closed-capitioning (subtitles). Sadly, I always wanted to improve my French (my parents come from a country in Southeast Asia (which coincidentally used to be a French-speaking colony) called "Laos" (it's between Thailand and Vietnam). Apart from that, remember a while back (a year or two ago) when I had passed a suggestion - to do a topic about the events in the summer in Toronto that the newcomers to Canada should check out (particularly the CNE - known as the "Canadian National Exhibition"? It's one of my favourite events to check out each summer, by the way)? I also like your videos about getting along public transit in Toronto (either as a newcomer, a tourist or even just a local who wanted to get around the city for the first time).
Hi, last year you uploaded video for direct go train from union station to niagra Falls on Saturday. Can you please guide the present scenario. Also do 1 presto card will be enough for a couple travelling within toronto? Your answer will be highly appreciated. Thanks
With the TTC, each person needs to have their own presto card. Unlike in some other systems (e.g. Istanbul's transport system) where you can share one card with a few other people, in Toronto you can't.
Guten Morgen. Most of my friends who are multilingual count in their mother tongues, even they mostly speak in English in their daily lives. I still count mostly in Chinese even though I communicate with my wife only in English. I do dream in English, Chinese and French in that order.
