I took all 9 years of it (2 years OAC) and I'm still lost, I got stuck in Trois Rivieres and NOBODY speaks a lick of English, Luckily my friend was fully fluent. (a little town called St Louis de Ha Ha, btw has the worst strip club ever) Its one thing to learn the basics, when someone is speaking slowly and you can get the gist of it. Its quite another when they are speaking normally and you only half get what they say. Besides that, I know people that are Parisian that have had difficulty communicating in Quebec, because of all the slang, and some of the french words that they do use, are very old french, that the french don't use anymore.
