but then we tried of course to speak english so everyone could understand.
then again i would advice you to speak proper french, quebecois is not really french , its a mix. |
i know but it sounds better than french lol no offense but i think real french sounds really faggy on guys. i like the way quebecois sounds. |

it's too complicated, it's an entire new system. at least german goes along with english, french is a bit similar to both spanish and english, but mandarin or Chinese is definitely something I must learn before I die, it's great for commerce |

Learn french or get over it.
The dude's living away from his home culture, then he finds a little glimpse of it and he should just give it up because it makes you feel uncomfortable? Besides, there's things you can say in french that you can't express as adequately in english. When I'm with bilingual friends we constantly switch between languages and it's just a natural thing to us - we're not trying to hide our conversations from english speakers. |

I know this is out of context but how easy is it to adapt to a oriental culture like vietman/china/etc ? In terms of business, is it a good investment for future business prospects? I have a feeling that I will be very involved with Asians in my professional career. |

it all depends on you...if you are one of those people who can accept other cultures being complete polar opposites from american culture (many can't i don't know how many people i felt like slapping for constantly wishing asia was more like home) you would do fine.
culture shock is inevitable, especially in regards to food and social behaviors. For instance, koreans will be very rude to you if there has never been a formal introduction. It isn't to be mean, just that without following protocol for introductions (business card is a big one) you simply don't exist as a person to them. Hand them a business card and shake their hand and all of a sudden they will give you the shirt off of their backs. It is weird but it is possible to adapt well. |

The least you could do is learn French or at least the basics. My Mom and I gab in French all the time and her husband slowly picked up on words here and there so he now understands. If it's a personal conversation that has nothing to do with him or anything that'll interest him - we speak in French and I don't see a problem with that and neither does he.
Get over it. If he wants to have a conversation in his native tongue, so be it. Who are you to get pissy about it? I understand being annoyed at first thinking they might be talking about you because people who are around others speaking a different language thing they are being talked about. If you've mentioned it once and he told you to get over it, get over it.
It'll also be a way for you to learn French. |
