  • Learning languages, indeed, is quite simple.

  • We often complicate the task, but it is above all about having interest, therefore from the speaker,

  • and to put time into it, that is to say, time with the language,

  • not reading explanations of the language that we want to learn in his mother tongue,

  • but rather to listen, to read, to get involved, therefore to spend time with the language.

  • It's very simple.

  • Et j'avais vu récemment,

  • j'ai vu un article sur l'internet sur l'état déplorable de l'apprentissage des langues et langues étrangères en Bretagne.

  • Et t'as raison, manque d'enseignants,

  • manque d'utilité évidente de l'apprentissage des langues étrangères.

  • Et ben oui, peut-être.

  • Et j'ai réfléchi un peu à...

  • on the situation in Canada where most of the English-speaking students who are not in the immersion system,

  • so in the normal system, do not learn French in principle.

  • Most do not manage to express themselves in French despite the fact that the government spends billions of dollars to make Canadians more bilingual.

  • And finally, the only bilinguals are those who are interested,

  • so in the other language, whether French or English, or who see great utility,

  • and this is therefore rather the case of Francophones in Quebec,

  • or even Francophones outside of Quebec, and even Anglophones who live in Quebec.

  • But otherwise, it's difficult.
