just to understand it, Anji:
Isn´t Ontario francophone??

[anji1971]

It's Quebec that's mainly French, but we have a large population of French speaking people here in Ontario as well. A lot of my husband's family speaks little or no English at all. They're from New Brunswick originally, another area with lots of French Canadians.
My in-laws' English is always amusing to hear.
I'm actually quite impressed with how well many of our European members speak English, considering it's not an easy language to learn.

I agree. Some of them speak it even more betterer than what I do, and I'm English.

I learned English from TV and computer games.

Thanks Anji,
but you never tried to learn Nederlansk or Deutsch, did you?
Because we´re still something like a hidden kolony of the USA since the second world war, we have lost of English music in radio, English promotion...and have to learn a kind of "Oxfod English" at school.

And yeah...I guess we learn most of our English (is that wit a capital?) from radio, tv, games, internet etc

people often mention how good my English is and I usually tell them that it was better before I lived in the US
my first week in the US, the American students were already asking me to spell English words for them
