When I was younger my Grandmother, my Mom`s Mother was from Lisbon,

Portugal and didn`t speak english. I spoke some back then, but when she

passed away I never really spoke it again because we were an english

speaking family. I can still taste and smell Grandma`s cooking.

Sometimes? I'd say most of the time--my short sentences are very accrate but as I start to explain things it really does show. Not just me...it goes for all French Canadians.

Yes, mother tongue is French. Most of my schooling was at French Schools until midway High School onwards.

Not true MR.FUGI! There are people of all nationalities that need help now and then. I don`t want to say anymore because this WILL NOT turn into a political discussion.
