The funny thing about the language issue is that the really hardcore seperatists here would be 100% behind someone who resented needing to learn French in Alberta or elsewhere, and that is what all of their controversial language legislation is all about. They want to create a situation in which a francophone need not learn any English at all in order to live and prosper in Quebec.
I think that is a a pointless goal and I don’t support it, but I find the people who really dislike Quebec and it’s influence have very similar attitudes to the nationalists here, while not being aware of it.
Your desire to learn French is admirable and I can say it is a silly and beautiful language, and it will teach you a lot about English while you learn it.
