A miscellany of moments from my life in Montreal (and proof that I would be a very bad weekly vlogger 🫠).

📌 SUBTITLES: To activate the English captions for the portion of the video where I speak French, you can click on the CC button at the top/bottom bar of the video. (They might also turn on automatically for you, but that depends on your settings!)

Does anyone say «computatrice»? In Spanish, it's "computadora" on this side of the Pond, but in Spain it's "ordenador", which is totally clear to me, since I also speak French. Thanks for your answer!

I haven’t heard “computatrice”, although I wouldn’t be surprised to hear “computer” because people here can use anglicisms with an impressive fluidity sometimes! 😛

What you will notice in Quebecois, we have stuck with old French words for hundreds of years. Also old way of pronouncing it. It evolved, of course, but in general that's what happened with our French. Andrea I don't know if you have access to a car, but let us know if you want recommendations of places to visit outside of Montreal!

I have noticed that, although there are also certain ways that Quebecois can surprise you and seem more modern than France French too! Language evolution is fun 🤩

I love Québecois, the accent as well as all the differences that there are with French from France. One thing that I always find funny is that Québecois use a lot of words that would seem very "old" in France, and same with the names. Some of their very young and actual names would probably be more suited for a 50/60 yo person in France and vice versa. And some words are not to be used in the same way if you want to avoid weird looks (just have a look at what "gosse" means in French from France and Québecois ;) )

Naming conventions are so fun! You have a little bit of the same effect between the US and UK, where there’s a lot of overlap until suddenly you find a name on one side of the pond that sounds quintessentially British or American and doesn’t fit at all in the other 😂

TBH, Paris today is a horrible city (lots of dirt, lots of rats, lots of roadworks, lots of violence, etc.). I think you're better off in Montreal than in Paris now.

It has its ugly sides and its beautiful sides! Like all big cities, unfortunately 😅
