The scenery here is similar to Northern Ontario, it`s absolutely beautiful! But the culture is totally different (obviously). We are in the Frenchest part of Quebec and, though I thought EVERY ONE in Canada knows how to speak English, people here truely do not speak English. My French has improved TONS this past week! I`m speaking much faster and my vocabulary has grown, I`m starting to pick up on Quebec slang. I`ve mannaged to enter many stores and people not even picked up on me being from out of province. The kids are doing well also. Abi is EAGER to speak as much French as she knows, which isnt much`, but her determination will get far. Jared repeats everything, so I think he`s got some potential too. He says ``thankyou-merci! and good-night-bonne-nuit!`` and basic expressions, but hifinates French and English together as if it`s all one word. It`s very cute. Kalvin, on the other hand, has had no interest. He thought the whole idea of learning another language was dumb... That is until he met friends and kept running over to ask me how to say this and that, then he`s run back to tell his friends what he wanted to say. Friday night, outside church, I couldn`t find him any where because he had taken off with all the new friends he met. SHEESH! Mister Social!
Anyway, all`s been good so far. We`ve met so many nice people and been having fun exploring the area with them. I love it here and I`m certain now that we`ll be moving very soon.
