Les gens d'Ottawa ont bien étudié avant que tu viennes;) Ils ont finalement fait leurs devoirs haha. Mais pour de vrai: Surtout du côté Est de la ville, vers Vanier et Orléans, la grande majorité sont francophones comme langue maternelle, et l'anglais c'est leur deuxième langue (même si l'anglais c'est le plus commun dans la vie de tous les jours, hors-maison). J'ai encore de la famille à l'Est, comme mes grand-parents, qui sont beaucoup plus à l'aise en français. Aussi, à travers la ville/province, on a plusieurs conseils d'écoles francophones à temps plein, et il y a typiquement au minimum deux écoles francophones-temps-plein (publique et catholique) par quartier. Quant aux écoles anglophones, ils on leur programme d'immersion en français, que (je dirais) a réussi beaucoup mieux que d'autres villes au Canada en tant que qualité de langue. Le gouvernement exige aussi un certain niveau de français pour les emplois dans la fonction public fédérale/municipale, et la ville c'est vraiment dominée par des personnes qui travaillent au government fédéral, donc c'est pas difficile de trouver des gens qui peuvent au minimum tenir une conversation super de base. C'est vraiment du côté Ouest où le niveau de français, ça diminue vite (en part des raisons historiques, genre migration et lois de zonage, et en part parce que, généralement, à l'Ouest il y a moins d'éxposition au français dans la vie quotidienne). Mais j'ai l'impression que Gatineau c'est la ville avec le plus haut taux de biliguisme au Canada, et à Ottawa (en général) c'est moins qu'à Montréal, mais c'est quand même genre 40% de la population qui sont (plus ou moins) bilingues anglais/français. Mais les Franco-Ontariens, on est là, et on est fières et fiers de notre français!! Et j'espère que c'était un bon week-end, et que t'as eu ben du fun:) Et Montréal c'est une super de belle ville, on est chanceux que c'est si près d'ici (si non on aurait besoin de conduire 4 heures à Toronto pour voir un concert, il y a vraiment PERSONNE qui vient à Ottawa)
I am from Ottawa and I find that when you are fluent in French, it's easier to switch to it when you have emotions or concerns to speak about. It is more expressive, similar to spanish. A beautiful language and Country.
Hello Ottawa, I live in Kanata and I am from Turkiye. I can speak Turkish, English and Chinese and I can read Arabic. I have an art studio for Downtown on Bank Street and Slater Street, and everyone is welcome. ☺

5:01 Here's what the Catalan girl said: Catalan original: "Avui ha sigut un dia complicat, perquè hi ha gent que no té molta intel·ligència emocional i suposo que, que, bueno, ens toca a la resta aprendre una mica a controlar les emocions dels demás i aixó..." Castilian/Spanish translation: "Hoy ha sido un día complicado, porque hay gente no tiene mucha inteligencia emocional y supongo que, que, bueno, nos toca al resto aprender un poco a controlar las emociones de los demás y eso..." As you can check, Catalan is full of Castilian/Spanish loanwords such as "bueno" or "demás". English translation: "Today has been a complicated day, because there are people who don't have much emotional intelligence and I suppose that, well, the rest of us have to learn a bit of how to control the emotions of the others".
Dan, i want you to know how much these videos give me confidence to continue to learn other languages. They're so inspiring that when i feel discouraged to keep learning french, watching one of your videos, literary lights a flame of perseverance within me. It's weird, i know, lmboooo 🐢 Does anyone else feel this way, or am i just dramatic 😅
I'm now 26 and I speak English and Spanish. I don't know how people manage to speak more than two languages but that's admirable and also hard to do on my part. Learning and mastering multiple languages is a challenging task meaning that it is beyond anything I know. Dan speaks English and French whose pronunciations are tricky, especially in the latter. And besides, he could easily get inspired by different multilingual people when interviewing them on the streets, well, that's just a suggestion. Keep going, man 😊🤍.
French cuisine is also known for being very fat. Perhaps they're just better at hiding the massive amount of butter. Of course if you eat burgers with fries and poutine then you may find Canadian food fat but there's a lot of other options, especially in Ottawa. It's true though that European cuisine in general is less processed. I find the food feels more satisfying and it makes me eat less. Combined with walking a lot in the cities, I lose a lot of fat whenever I visit for a couple weeks, even when drinking copious amounts of wine!
@@Gomba13 You missed the point. I’m saying that he’s on vacation visiting Canada and likely only ate at fast food restaurants and food trucks (probably targeted towards tourists), which obviously have processed, fatty food, like poutine, burgers, fries, soda, etc… BUT as a Canadian, I can go to the grocery store or local market and buy plenty of organic, unprocessed foods. In fact, MANY Canadians live very healthy lifestyles and eat very healthy foods. They don’t just walk around town and eat poutine from food trucks all day. So the guy in the video is making a blanket statement of "all the food in Canada is greasy and processed", but that is far from the truth. Hope that helps.
Our city is quieter because we have fewer people and more space. We can't compare the 10/12 million in Paris or London to Ottawa's 1 million. I live in Ottawa. Moved from London England 10 years ago and it was the best decision. My native language is Somali, I speak English and French fluently and speak basic Spanish and Arabic. Go Ottawa! ❤
People say not much is going on here but if you're an introvert, and you appreciate being to go out without huge crowds, and you appreciate not having someone sitting next to you on the bus, then Ottawa is a pretty good city. We also have significantly cleaner air than Paris, London or Toronto. Ottawa is a good place if you're retired or just introverted. Lol.
Fun fact, Mandarin does have the "ka" sound. The reason why it's "jia na da" is because Canada was first written into Chinese by people who spoke a different Chinese language, like Cantonese or Southern Min, and they wrote the first syllable using a Chinese character that's pronounced "jia" in Mandarin (but pronounced "ka" in their own languages). Mandarin speakers read it as "jia na da" and kept it until today.
Thanks for the views of Ottawa and your interviews that are always fun and informative. I haven't been back since 2019. This August, I missed being in a race along the Rideau that was formerly held in Tunney's Pasture. BTW, I half expected you to film next to "Maman" in front of the National Gallery; perhaps she would have frightened your arachnophobic subscribers..
What?!? I was so surprised when I saw you made a video in Ottawa! I live right beside Ottawa and am 5 minutes away from Parliament Hill. I'm so glad that you made a video on "my" city ❤. Also, my first language is English, I'm not perfectly bilingual but I completely understand French. I'm learning Korean and am hoping to become a polyglot. I wish I had gotten out of the house and was in this video 😅
Fellow Ottawan here! Fluent in English, fluent in French, a little bit of Romanian, a little bit of Japanese. Enough to survive in Romania or Japan. I also know a bits and pieces - a few words and phrases - in a few other languages; Arabic, Spanish, Italian, Russian, German, Tagolog, Urdu, Hindi, Swahili, Somali; whatever my coworkers are willing to teach me.
There is tons of artistic stuff in Ottawa, you just have to look for it! There are many regular, community focused events in music, visual art, dance & food. If you want me to share some info let me know!
0:44 in mandarin, the "j" sound is pronounced differently - instead of putting your tongue on the roof of ur mouth, you put it behind ur two front lower teeth, the tip should touch the "border" where the gum meets the tooth. the front area (not tip) of ur tongue is basically covering the entire rear of the 2 front lower teeth.
J'aimerais beaucoup passer un moment à Canada, spécialement Ottawa et Quebec. Je suis un allemand, résident en Espagne et ça veux dire que je parle allemand, espagnol, français, anglais, catalan et un petit peu de néerlandais.
I've lived in Ottawa most of my life, and most people speak at least 2 languages (Usually French and English). But Chinese dialects, and Arabic languages are other very common and those folks usually know 3 or 4 languages. If you only know one language in Ottawa it's kinda weird.
Yeah, it’s understandable that Parisians say one of the differences is that there are fewer Canadians on the streets than there are French people on theirs. This can be explained very simply, and it’s not because Canadians stay at home more. It’s simply that the population density of France is much higher than that of Quebec. About two and a half Frances could fit into the territory of Quebec, and approximately six and a half Quebecs fit into Canada’s territory. So, a population of 67 million in France versus about 38 million in Canada. So it’s quite normal, in terms of density, that we have fewer people on the streets. And regarding Canadian food as more “fat”. Its ironic coming from the country who invented Foie Gras Edit: Yes I use Quebec as a scale
I'm 30 and come from Aruba. Live in the Netherlands currently and can speak Papiamento (fluently), English (fluently), Spanish (only can read and understand it but needs more conversational practice), Dutch (same as spanish), and (Brazilian) Portuguese (can understand only moderately).

They (french speakers) pronounced Montreal as Mongryal? 😮
It is pronounced « Monréal »
@@chloechaudron305 nope they said Mong like among.
1:20 the French couple/friends pronounced it the proprer way « Monréal ».
@@chloechaudron305 ok, perhaps because I'm a Tagalog speaker that's why I heard clearly the letter "g" after the N pronunciation of french speaker of Montreal.

I’m 23, I’m Ukrainian 🇺🇦 and I know Ukrainian, russian, Polish, English, German, Spanish, Italian, Portugiese, French, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Turkish and a little bit of Greek. Now I am learning 3 more languages at the same time. I feel at home everywhere.
There is a huge difference between '' i know '', '' i speak '', '' i'm fluent ''
That’s great. I just speak Arabic and I can understand Turkish but can’t speak it. My English it’s been long time I trying to prove it but it’s hard for me i speaking broken English. Is there any tips for help me with languages?
What are you learning now?
