This may sound like a stupid question but what is it like to be an English speaker in montreal? I'm debating going up there but I want to be prepared, and not act like a stupid American.

There's absolutely no difference lol. Montreal is ULTRA multi-ethnic and bilingual. There are people from all over the world

I'd learn some french before I came to Quebec, or even montreal for that matter. MTL is known for being bilingual, but its still against the law to demand to be spoken to in english as opposed to french, effectively throwing our bilingual nature in the garbage. Thats not to say you won't get around with only english, but the fact of the matter is when you go to a shop chances are someone is gonna greet you with "Salut" (Hello, Greetings). In all due fairness, my 768 year old grand mother learned french recently. She's pretty fluent when it comes to speaking it too.

You can get service in english pretty much everywhere.

Bonjour,

En feuilletant votre section techno j'ai remarqué l'intérêt porté par celle-ci, non sans raison, pour les médias sociaux ainsi que les jeux vidéo. Un événement prochain qui normalement n'est pas couvert par les médias aura lieu à Montréal et cela, d'une ampleur jamais vu auparavant en Amérique du nord.

Une compétition de jeux vidéo, spécifiquement Starcraft 2, à lieux le dimanche 20 novembre à Providence et l'évènement sera diffuser par le web à Montréal au Club 1234. Maintenant ce qui rends la diffusion au Club 1234 intéressante à couvrir est la grandeur de l'événement. En résumé :

1. Ils attendent 1000+ personnes

2. Le club ou le tout à lieu est en se moment est l’un des clubs "hot" en plein cœur du centre ville

3. La communauté pour ces compétitions virtuelles (nommées "eSports" dans le milieu) est de plus en plus grandissante en Amérique du nord et Montréal est d'avant garde pour l'ampleur de la chose. Le terme utilisé par la communauté pour la diffusion de compétition Starcraft 2 dans les bars est "Barcrafting"

Maintenant si le tout vous semble assez intéressant pour faire partie de votre section techno sur le site canoe.ca vous pourrez trouver de plus amples information sur leur page Facebook :

Voici un cour vidéo qui montre l’énergie du dernier événement qui a eu lieu le 16 Octobre :



Et finalement, voici le courriel du gérant qui organise l’évènement si vous avez de plus amples question:

marko@1234montreal.com

Son nom est, évidemment, Marko.

Merci!

Julien

hehe I mean look, I know some Quebecois that would refuse to serve you in english, and they are backed by law. I'm sure you can understand what I meant by it being illegal to "demand" english but this is ALL besides the point!

Barcraft is soon at hand folks. Forget languages, come to twelve thirty four:D
