Canada
Ville de Québec, Québec, Canada
In this topic, you have learned about the bilingual country of Canada and its only completely francophone province, le Québec. You now understand that Canada has two official languages, French and English, due to the influence of both the French and English occupation and rule of this country. This province has maintained French as its only official language, due to the pride the Québécois have of their French heritage. Finally, you were able to compare and contrast schools in le Québec with those in the United States of America; in le Québec, students graduate after the American equivalent of their junior year in high school, and they learn English as their second language. After this lesson, perhaps you too can say, “Je me souviens.”
