Every time I go to my internship, I
realize how students here in Concordia are respectful. Today one of the girls
was waiting for her lunch at the cafeteria and she just introduces herself to
this beautiful boy next to her. She told him her name and he did the same.
After that, she told him that he looked like an angel. He starts laughing but tells
her that it wasn't possible because she was the angel. :) It was funny. My
internship is fun but honestly, I don't really learn new words. The
majority of time it's just remembering some words. My real problem is talking.
I am a little bit stressed when everybody's look at me and wait for me to talk
so then, I start to jabber. Sometimes, I just don’t understand what
they said because nobody understands. I am so shy to ask them to repeat, again
and again and again so I ask to Poppy or Marileen what this person just says
but they don’t know. But the worst time is when we have to say ‘’yes’’ or ‘’no’’
or ‘’maybe’’ or things like that and start praying that you just well guessed what
they are trying to say to you. The other day, one of the boys there said a word
that I didn’t understand. It was ‘’dismembering’’. This word means ‘’démembrement’’
in French. There’s the thing I like in English. A word can mean many different things
but rarely in French. He was talking about his birthday not about Luka Rocco
Magnotta. Lol. The other thing I realize is about the English culture. One of
the other volunteer talks to me about how difficult is to learn French when you
come to live in Quebec. She says that it was ok to ask to immigrants to learn
French but that it was silly to try to impose it to them. Of course, I don’t
totally agree with her. I tried to see the things by her side and she try to do
the same on mine. I don’t think we should oblige immigrants to learn French and
only French. Sure it is important but I think that everybody, even people who
was born in Quebec should learn French but also English and maybe Spanish.
Learn languages open your mind on the world. The more we learn, the more we can
understand each other worldwide. We both agreed on the principle.
