  • Be careful with some signalisation pannel: Stop= Arret Bridge= Pont Highway/Expressway = Autoroute Downtown=Centre-Ville Exit = Sortie Street/Avenue= Rue/Avenue Blvd= Boul. The speed limit is in KM/H, not MPH. ALSO, BE CAREFUL WITH NO PARKING IN MONTREAL, it's very confusing

  • As you know, Quebec is a French-speaking province so most people speaks French. But people are usually bilingual, meaning they speak both French and English, downtown or just English in specific English neighbourdhoods. French is usually only spoken in neighbourdhood east of St-Laurent Blvd or North of Mont-Royal.

  • When I went there I made a point of speaking to everyone first in french. Because of all the tensions that exist between Quebec and the rest of Canada I've heard that people sometimes can get upset when they're spoken english to. I didn't encounter it on my trip but I tried my awful french anyway. It's really quite pathetic. I had 6 years of french and I don't think I learned anything.

  • I've heard stories about the French mistreating or ignoring the English-speakers. I've never had this problem. There's no reason to feel self-conscious towards speaking french. They appreciate the effort and, besides, it's fun!

  • Montreal is big and cosmopolitan, so it's easy to get around with only English. Most people speak both English and French, so don't worry about language problems.
