I have very many good Quebecois friends. They always appreciated my efforts to speak French even with my heavy maudit anglais accent.

BTW, smc, the more beer one has the better one gets when speaking a non-mother tongue language. At least I always thought so after having several beer with good friends.

Thanks, ila. I do pretty damn well without beer, too.

I was really joking about getting my ass kicked. I have a great time whenever I'm in Quebec, where the appreciation for my speaking French is even greater than in France (because of the whole national minority thing).
