I'll be in touch ;-) @Froggywoogie - Anytime! :lol: @bluefish - I think the gov' programs are adequate, as far as I could see. Now it's also up to the immigrants to learn the language... nobody could have forced me to learn English, I did it myself! @Scarlet - Almost! "Je t'aime mon amour". Well, you know your basic French ;-) @diesel - And madame wouldn't enjoy a French Diesel? @durano lawayan - A+. Actually, A- cause I know you chose Spanish rather than French :lol: @Seraphine - Exactly! Language should be fun, otherwise there is no incentive to learn. I hated English till I lived in Canada and I was glad I knew enough to communicate! @shionge - It's never too late! And the best news is I found Asian students in general pick up French accent really fast compared to English or Spanish. I'M lucky to go to Beijing... and I will take a lot of pics, you know me ;-) @Gord Hunt - Thanks for the link, I did check it out and it's totally relevant to that post. Great project! @Annie - Yes I will... and I forgot a lot, I'm sure I'm gonna speak English or French sometimes just because I'm missing the word in Chinese. @Randy Nichols – Hey there and thanks for visiting.

A lot of people still can't master French or English after living here for over 2 decades. Also, I find if one is really adaped into the host society, some Canadians still discriminate against you. Maybe different provinces have different laws. bluefishs last great read...<a href="http://nikiogkenneth.blogspot.com/2008/08/good-decision.html" rel="nofollow">Shocking news</a> Canada doesn’t offer enough languages courses to immigrants.
