Learning Quebec French with free resources from the Ottawa Public Library
Hi everybody.
One of the first things I noticed when I arrived in Ottawa was how big of a francophone community there is here; how everything, from buses, to stop signs, are in both English and French, how many job ads in Ottawa require bilingual (English and French) applicants , ... and so, how important it is to be able to speak, read, write and understand French (in addition to English) in Ottawa, the capital of Canada.
Since I don't remember much from my French classes in high school, I decided to go to the Ottawa Public Library branch closest to me, on a mission to find as many resources as I could in French (and in particular, Quebec French).
On this video I show you the books and dvd I found at the Ottawa Public Library about learning Canadian/Quebec French.
