Massive respect for your two guys. Your French speaking skills are really up there. Don't hesitate to practice, you'll have no issue to make yourselves understood. French is hard and you're killing it!
As a French learner, it's not being understood, but understanding others that is really hard. Especially in Quebec! I can understand French people OK but Quebecois is difficult for me.

*Larry Burkett's book on "Giving and Tithing"* drew me closer to God and helped my spirituality. 2020 was a year I literally lived it. I cashed in my life savings and gave it all away. My total giving amounted to 40,000 dollars. Everyone thought I was delusional. Today, 1 receive 85,000 dollars every two months. I have a property in Calabasas, CA, and travel a lot.

It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US and abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
I know that woman (Susan Jane Christy) if you were born and raised in New York you’d know too, she’s my family’s Broker for 3yrs till now and a very good one if you asked me. No doubt she is the one that helped you get where you are!!!
I was in the same boat as Ben when I moved to Montreal 13 years ago (also from Nova Scotia, actually). I had taken French immersion in school but I had to re-learn French after 8 years of not speaking, and colloquial French in Quebec is quite different from the French we learn in school. Now I married a francophone, I have francophone friends, and I work in both languages. Ben has a good base of French to start with, he'll do well I'm sure.
I did French Immersion as well until grade 9 (this is Ben!) but hadn't spoken it much for the last 9 years or so until the last month and a half of it becoming somewhat of a hyperfixation haha. We have very similar tales. Where are you from in Nova Scotia? Always have to ask fellow Maritimers lol!
@@chatboychit I grew up in the West End and went to school in Fairview and high school at St. Pat's (replaced with Citadel High School). What about yourself?
Wow Ben is good in french for not living with french around him ! :D that makes me happy to see people excited to learn our language . Warms my heart ! Welcome in Montreal , i hope you will like it.
Merci d'apprendre le français avec autant de rigueur et de passion! Finding a bartender job in Montréal will be quite hard because it is required by law to speak French since you serve customers. But I feel you are quite close to be fluent enough, so keep practicing you are doing good!
Il y a des gens qui ne parlent pas français et qui travaillent dans le public à Montréal, donc je crois que Ben qui a déjà une excellente prononciation n'aura pas de difficulté à se faire comprendre d'autant plus qu'il semble bien comprendre le français.

(The Frowned upon) It’s just a depressing place That one must be born and Raised in for his whole lifetime To truly understand what I mean. The positive things is that it’s a relatively safe place and has Some cool cultural elements but Trust me this place can hurt your soul To a point where everything is a Cold Void. Good to visit. Not to Live (if your English).

If you like the English language… that’s absolutely fine… and guess what … you have 9 of the ten provinces impatiently awaiting your arrival. Let’s get real here.

C'est une bonne séance de pratique de français, ce que tu as fait. Ce sont ces petites choses qui aident à mieux apprendre et comprendre pour s'intégrer dans la société québécoise. Lovely video
I have been living in Montreal for more than 10 years. I have to say, the Quebecois are the nicest people I came across with in North America. It doesn't take much to make them happy. Just try to say a few words in French and they get all encouraging and say really nice words about your practice. Thanks to them, I now can speak three languages (my mother tongue, English, and French). I totally understand why they want to preserve their language. For the longest time, they had been second class citizens in Canada, including in their own province. They were the majority in Quebec and they couldn't go anywhere career-wise if they didn't speak English. They were called names and were always looked down upon. They have been hurt a lot and we need to show them respect. All in all, I am truly happy to be here and am grateful for all the genuine support I got from the Quebecois. Merci beaucoup Quebec!!!!!
Unfortunately not all quebecois are that open minded when interacting with french speakers from outside the area. As well the politics can be difficult to live with
What in the hell are you going on about 😂. Quebecors are the most self-serving group of narcissists in the entire country. Hey Quebec, the rest of Canada can't stand you😂
DAN, since you seem to love cruising down Mont-Royal Ave by foot and bike, you should know that this week is your last chance to experience Wellington street in Verdun. It’s as cool as Mont-Royal, with great places to stop at for eating, drinking and shopping. Métro stations De l’église and Verdun.
Or at least so long as you actually practice French... there might be some way to live in Montreal without learning French, just don't expect to live anywhere in the city, nor to be able to get any job in the city either.
His French speaking capabilities are high indeed! Edit : I just read this post again and had to correct that monumental grammar mistake lol (is vs are)
Bonjour Ben, bienvenue a Montréal et au Québec. Félicitations pour vos efforts d'apprendre le français, en passant votre base de français me semble déjà très avancée et vous avez peu d'accent. Votre apprentissage devrait se faire assez rapidement. Bonne chance a vous trouver un emploie et a vous intégrer dans la vie Montréalaise et Québécoise.
Le problème c est que ces gens là vont venir et ils vont "kick out" les pauvres tites québécois de MTL ! Référence : Plateau, Verdun, Rosemont, bientôt Lachine et Villeray, Les québécois devront déménager dans les régions éloignées
Merci beaucoup pour disait tout ça. J'étais en l'immersion francaise quand j'étais un enfant depuis environ 10 ans. En disait ça, je n'ai parlé pas beaucoup français depuis les dernières 9 ans. Pour les dernières 1 mois et demi, je m'entraîne tous les moments que je peux en préparation pour démanager. C'est un peu d'un « hyper-fixation » lol. Mais ça revient tellement plus rapidement que j'ai pensé. Bonne journée :)
@chatboychit Hi 👋, I saw the video. I just want to let you know you re very welcome in our city ! MTL is indeed an amazing city compared to Toronto, Calgary, Ottawa, etc... anywhere else in Canada! Learning French is definitely a good step, but know that you can easily be served everywhere in english, maybe with exception to gov services. Btw I ve been in the "maritimes" PEI, NB, Nova Scotia... and I just found people from there are just extremely nice and kind ! especially to foreigners! Bienvenue à Montréal ! 😊
The young lady that served you at the bagel shop is from France, just by listening to her accent. Welcome to Montreal, with a little bit of practice you will blend in just fine!
There are more than 30 different accents in France from the north to the south with different local expressions . Just like in Quebec , UK , USA and the world . There is no dialect in French

Thank God for your honest comment. I'm reading all the praise and wondering where this glorious Montreal is? It was in the 60's-70's-80's but then it started its downward descend into the disaster it is today. I mourn my once beautiful city. Killed by terrible socialist government and "green" UN movements, now when I have to go there I cry.
I moved to Montreal 3 years ago, this is by far the most beautiful and warming place I have ever lived in, everything about this place makes me want to stay for a long time. The Montrealers specially are really friendly people, I have never felt judged or unsafe in this city, and the way life is threated here is quite interesting and comfortable. Montreal is a city that tells you that life is pretty, that we can do the right things as society, and that no matter how hard it can get we have enough time to enjoy ourselves and help each other. You can sense the community on the air, the desire of improving and loving each other, its just magical. French is an amazing languague , and living here gets you the chance to sumerge deep into it. Just walking around the city is enough to understand what I am saying. what else can I say Montreal has problems as any other city in the world, but in my experience as an 21 years old immigrant in this city has been incredible, and I love every part of it. I love Montreal, and if you are thinking about moving here, go take the chance and we will be waiting for you with a warm Bonjour and a poutine à la québécoise!!!
We need more guys like you showing how nice it can be to live in Montreal as english speakers who wants to learn french. Learning french is such a great advantage and the way to embrace the Quebec culture as well. I think that most canadiens doesnt understand the real deal with Quebec and that contributes to the "Quebec bashing". Keep up the good work, I just love your videos.
Omg i feel like you read my mind, dude, lol. I also want to move to montreal. The first time i went was 10 years ago for my 18th birthday, and im going again in October. I fell in love with the city. I've been trying to learn french just in case i do end up moving there. ✌️ ❤ 🇨🇦
Its a nice city, nice food, subway is nice, lots of hikes nearby. But DONT LET THE SUMMER FOOL YA, The winters are crazy! But maybe with climate change its not so bad
Ben is from Nova Scotia ! So he knows how crazy the winter can be too. Sometime when the freezing cold 🥶 air passed over the Atlantic ocean you suddently end up with 2 meters of snow in a few days. You the open the door and a wall of snow is waiting for you outside. 🤯
I live in Halifax and the rent has absolutely skyrocketed in the past 5 years. In my opinion it’s one of, if not the best city in Canada, but lacks the services that one would expect when paying so much. Montreal is really amazing too as I’ve visited a couple times, and I’m actually learning French right now (In part motivated by the fact that I’m of French-Canadian origin). I hope to maybe move to MTL one day!!
I'm from Toronto, but all my life I've been saying that Montreal is the best city in Canada. That gap is now increasing as Toronto has become an over-populated, expensive and dreary cesspool and likely to decline even further in the coming years.
Because Toronto has a Chinese mayor that only cares about the Chinese and that is it , she also jumps on popular band wagons .A perfect example was during gay pride .
Took the plunge last year and started vlogging on my bike! I can't wait to get into some intensive French classes because I can't help but feel slightly relegated with only English and Spanish
BRAVO POUR VOTRE FRANCAIS ET BIENVENUE AU QUEBEC . CANADA🍁🍁 CONGRATULATIONS VOTRE FRANCAIS EST TRES BON SOYEZ PAS TIMIDE POUR LE PARLER L ACCENT ANGLAIS EN FRANCAIS C EST DE LA MUSIQUE A NOS OREILLES ON ADORE CA
You should also make a video why everyone is moving out in Montreal.. high taxes, high rent, Orange cones everywhere, pot holes everywhere as it's visible in your video, crowded hospitals with less staff because there moving out of Montreal because of french English barriers, high business taxes, high commercial space rent, i sold my Restaurant business here and move out in other province with my whole family is the best decision i ever had never been happier like before, Quebec taxes are the worst also just a little rains it Floods everywhere.
Congrats of trying to learn French. Most anglophones in Quebec are shy to try to speak French, but don't be. We don't give a damn if you miss words, we will even help you.
Bien venu dans la région, et merci de faire l'effort de vous intégrer parmis nous. Je vous aurais prit pareil personnellement mais c'est quand même apprécié. : )
I appreciate anyone looking to practice their French in Montreal. Let people know if you want to practice. Alot of people change languages to make things more comfortable or fluid for their interlocutor, so that can be a challenge.
Le contexte est important. Je ne réfute pas ce commentaire, mais je tiens à préciser que la majorité de ce vidéo se déroule sur la rue Mont-Royal qui a été fermée avec des blocs de bétons tous l'été. La rue redevient accessible, malheureusement (opinion personnelle), aux voitures. En vue de cette transition ces cônes ont été installés, puisqu'ils se retirent plus rapidement. Bref, oui il y a beaucoup trop de cônes à Montréal, mais ne soyons pas trop pessimistes ;)
DAN, since you seem to love cruising down Mont-Royal Ave by foot and bike, you should know that this week is your last chance to experience Wellington street in Verdun. It’s as cool as Mont-Royal, with great places
I was born in Montreal and lived there until I was about 40. I often miss it... until I go back. I love the people and the atmosphere, but I don't miss the traffic (especially since I often have to go down Decarie...) or virtually every street being one-way in the direction you don't want to go. It's also a bit sad to me how the West Island, where I grew up, is changing. When I was a kid, there was a farm across from where I lived where there were horses... Now everything is asphalt and condos. Despite that, I think I will always call Montreal "home" even if I don't live there anymore.
D'ont move to Montréal or Québec if you are not ready to lean french. Myself I am a francophone from Quebec who moved to Victoria bc and guess what I learned to talk English. It's a question of respect towards the society who host you.

On devrait plutôt saluer leur efforts d'apprendre le français et de le pratiquer.

J'ai beaucoup apprécié la vidéo!
MAGHREB and socially Algeria has destroyed Montreal , unruly behaviour, littering , street harassments … insults homophobia … that’s them
I totally agree.
Thank God for your honest comment. I'm reading all the praise and wondering where this glorious Montreal is? It was in the 60's-70's-80's but then it started its downward descend into the disaster it is today. I mourn my once beautiful city. Killed by terrible socialist government and "green" UN movements, now when I have to go there I cry.
Loved this video and shared experience with your friend!
Ben has a fantastic french accent. Props for his efforts
Very cool to hear English 🇨🇦 speaking French! Good job and good luck with this upcoming move 👍🏻✌🏻
I moved to Montreal 3 years ago, this is by far the most beautiful and warming place I have ever lived in, everything about this place makes me want to stay for a long time. The Montrealers specially are really friendly people, I have never felt judged or unsafe in this city, and the way life is threated here is quite interesting and comfortable. Montreal is a city that tells you that life is pretty, that we can do the right things as society, and that no matter how hard it can get we have enough time to enjoy ourselves and help each other. You can sense the community on the air, the desire of improving and loving each other, its just magical. French is an amazing languague , and living here gets you the chance to sumerge deep into it. Just walking around the city is enough to understand what I am saying. what else can I say Montreal has problems as any other city in the world, but in my experience as an 21 years old immigrant in this city has been incredible, and I love every part of it. I love Montreal, and if you are thinking about moving here, go take the chance and we will be waiting for you with a warm Bonjour and a poutine à la québécoise!!!
Great video. Your making me fall in love with Montreal again 😀
We need more guys like you showing how nice it can be to live in Montreal as english speakers who wants to learn french. Learning french is such a great advantage and the way to embrace the Quebec culture as well. I think that most canadiens doesnt understand the real deal with Quebec and that contributes to the "Quebec bashing". Keep up the good work, I just love your videos.
I LOVE when people make effort to speak an other language, you are definitely welcome here!
J'apprécie l'effort d'apprendre le français en préparation du déménagement, ne lâches pas Ben!
Bienvenue au Québec Ben :)
Our young fella will be absolutely fine. His French is serviceable.
Bienvenue à Montréal et bonne chance pour ta recherche d'emploi.
Good luck Ben!
Both of you have great French skills.
Des jeunes gens brilliants. Let's go!!
Montreal is an amazing city. even .going for coffee is an event....!!! style, flare and the art of living BRAVO
Ben seems very good yet in french. With that kind of people, it's never a problem to get good relationship.
Oh my goodness I remember this area. My grandmother was around there. I was born in Montreal in 1982 until I moved out at age 7 years old in 1989.
Omg i feel like you read my mind, dude, lol. I also want to move to montreal. The first time i went was 10 years ago for my 18th birthday, and im going again in October. I fell in love with the city. I've been trying to learn french just in case i do end up moving there. ✌️ ❤ 🇨🇦
Its a nice city, nice food, subway is nice, lots of hikes nearby. But DONT LET THE SUMMER FOOL YA, The winters are crazy! But maybe with climate change its not so bad
Most Canadians are used to rough winters, but yeah for immigrants it will be a shock
@@TheNewTravel i lived in hamilton all my life and was very shocked by montreal snow.. only been to Quebec once in winter though
I feel like every weekend this summer was a thunderstorm...
Ben is from Nova Scotia ! So he knows how crazy the winter can be too. Sometime when the freezing cold 🥶 air passed over the Atlantic ocean you suddently end up with 2 meters of snow in a few days.
You the open the door and a wall of snow is waiting for you outside. 🤯
@@TheNewTravelLol Canada doesnt have rough winters anymore. Clinate change is real. Get half the snow we use to ..
If everyone's coming here ya'll better learn french !!! Thanks to both of you for making the effort.
Bienvenue à Montréal! Tant que vous faites un effort pour apprendre le français on est heureux de vous avoir
I love to see hes actually working on his French!
Such a great video! I wish I could move to MTL. Used to live there, and be wonderful to return!
Parce-que c'est la meilleur ville en Amérique du Nord!
Bienvenu chez nous! N'hésitez pas à visiter les petites villes en région si vous voulez pratiquer votre français encore plus :)
You're killing it with your french dude ! Way more fluent than you think.
Très bon début pour le français, ne lachez pas - vous allez pouvoir sortir de Montréal et découvrir le reste du Quebec :)
Bravo les gars pour votre français. J'espère que vous allez inspirez les anglophones de Montréal à parler français
Bienvenue au Québec Ben !
Bravo, c’est tellement encourageant. Merci
I live in Halifax and the rent has absolutely skyrocketed in the past 5 years. In my opinion it’s one of, if not the best city in Canada, but lacks the services that one would expect when paying so much. Montreal is really amazing too as I’ve visited a couple times, and I’m actually learning French right now (In part motivated by the fact that I’m of French-Canadian origin). I hope to maybe move to MTL one day!!
Great to see my old neighborhood.
I'm from Toronto, but all my life I've been saying that Montreal is the best city in Canada. That gap is now increasing as Toronto has become an over-populated, expensive and dreary cesspool and likely to decline even further in the coming years.
Come to Montréal, learn french too !
Because Toronto has a Chinese mayor that only cares about the Chinese and that is it , she also jumps on popular band wagons .A perfect example was during gay pride .
@@OdinWannaBe One country ,one language English ,long live England .
@@josephforest7605 Well, then... Vive le Québec Libre!
Took the plunge last year and started vlogging on my bike! I can't wait to get into some intensive French classes because I can't help but feel slightly relegated with only English and Spanish
Montreal seems like the most unique city in Canada, or even North America. From afar, it gives the feeling of Europe crossed with the US.
Great vid fellas. Always make miss and want to come back to Montreal again... And again.
BRAVO POUR VOTRE FRANCAIS ET BIENVENUE AU QUEBEC . CANADA🍁🍁 CONGRATULATIONS VOTRE FRANCAIS EST TRES BON SOYEZ PAS TIMIDE POUR LE PARLER L ACCENT ANGLAIS EN FRANCAIS C EST DE LA MUSIQUE A NOS OREILLES ON ADORE CA
I love this kind of video
Welcome to montreal
Because it’s Great !
You should also make a video why everyone is moving out in Montreal.. high taxes, high rent, Orange cones everywhere, pot holes everywhere as it's visible in your video, crowded hospitals with less staff because there moving out of Montreal because of french English barriers, high business taxes, high commercial space rent, i sold my Restaurant business here and move out in other province with my whole family is the best decision i ever had never been happier like before, Quebec taxes are the worst also just a little rains it Floods everywhere.
votre francais est vraiment bon
Congrats of trying to learn French. Most anglophones in Quebec are shy to try to speak French, but don't be. We don't give a damn if you miss words, we will even help you.
very charming and fun
Bien venu dans la région, et merci de faire l'effort de vous intégrer parmis nous. Je vous aurais prit pareil personnellement mais c'est quand même apprécié. : )
I wish him luck. He's very brave, because it won't be easy.
I appreciate anyone looking to practice their French in Montreal. Let people know if you want to practice. Alot of people change languages to make things more comfortable or fluid for their interlocutor, so that can be a challenge.
Il parle déjà mieux le français que beaucoup de monde à Montréal!
La couche de smog que je voyais chaque fois que je rentrais chez moi sur l'île. Content d'être parti de là! vive la campagne!
Ben est adorable. He will have no problems in our city.
Oh how I long for the greatest city in Canada. Montreal.
The hostess at Bagel St-Viateur is obviously from France, not from Quebec. (just an observation, not a critic)
Why Is Everyone Moving to Montreal?
simply because of your videos mon mec
50% of the video shows orange construction cones... very well represented of the actual city that is 50% orange construction cones.
The true mascot of montreal 🟧 🟧 🟧
Le contexte est important. Je ne réfute pas ce commentaire, mais je tiens à préciser que la majorité de ce vidéo se déroule sur la rue Mont-Royal qui a été fermée avec des blocs de bétons tous l'été. La rue redevient accessible, malheureusement (opinion personnelle), aux voitures. En vue de cette transition ces cônes ont été installés, puisqu'ils se retirent plus rapidement. Bref, oui il y a beaucoup trop de cônes à Montréal, mais ne soyons pas trop pessimistes ;)
Its the same with toronto, so the guy in the video is alrwady used to it
Merci de parler francais
Hate me or love me I believe people who speak French whether fluently or clumsily should step out of Montreal and learn about the rest of the province
DAN, since you seem to love cruising down Mont-Royal Ave by foot and bike, you should know that this week is your last chance to experience Wellington street in Verdun. It’s as cool as Mont-Royal, with great places

@@TheNewTravel Thank you, I somehow missed that one !
I was born in Montreal and lived there until I was about 40. I often miss it... until I go back. I love the people and the atmosphere, but I don't miss the traffic (especially since I often have to go down Decarie...) or virtually every street being one-way in the direction you don't want to go. It's also a bit sad to me how the West Island, where I grew up, is changing. When I was a kid, there was a farm across from where I lived where there were horses... Now everything is asphalt and condos.
Despite that, I think I will always call Montreal "home" even if I don't live there anymore.

Mccurold is an OG spot
Give me 3 months I’m gonna be there . Been trying to move there for a year now
Tres fiere de ton ami! Way to go Ben!!! Continue de pratiquer. Ton accent est charmant!!!!
D'ont move to Montréal or Québec if you are not ready to lean french. Myself I am a francophone from Quebec who moved to Victoria bc and guess what I learned to talk English. It's a question of respect towards the society who host you.
great city when the weather is warm but a long bitterly cold snow deep winter must be endured as well.
smart set decamp to Florida or LA.
