Where are from ? And ....

Some Canadians speak both English and French, other Canadians speak only Englsih and some Canadians speak other languages as well. I don't speak French myself, just English.

Quebecois french is quite a bit different than France french. It's more the slang, but I know I had some trouble when I was in France with understanding. :) There is also a difference in accents across Quebec, so even if you understand the regional french, you may have to work at the accent.

You are so right about that. The Cajun and Creole cooking is a big part of life here.

That's the reputation we have! It's not as bad as you think though, I've lived here many years and have managed to avoid all snakes, spiders, sharks, crocodiles... and a dingo has never taken my baby ;)

With certain words I still have an accent. I am very conscious of it even after all these years. If I am around a bunch of Newfies for awhile I start talking like them and I revert back to the accent. It never leaves you.
