Harp:After this time in Europe, did you speak French well?
Maura:The saddest part is, Harp, when I was looking for places to WWOOF, that was my objective. I wanted to go and have a French immersion. But the only place that accepted me was a place, a farm, where the guy was from England.
Harp:Oh no!
Maura:Yeah. So I was in France but I was staying with English people, speaking English all the time. So I didn’t learn much French at all, unfortunately.
Harp:But you’re very fluent in French now. Did you learn that mainly in Montreal?
Maura:Yup. After I came back from my travels in Europe, I lived in Quebec City, which is even more French than Montreal, and I started learning French there. I took a class at the university there and when I came to Montreal, I took more classes and I did language exchanges, which I have to say helped me so much with my French.
