What do they speak? I haven't had hardly any experience with Canadian culture so I don't know what other languages people speak there.

Canada is extremely multicultural, especially in the larger cities. In certain areas, you are much more likely to hear any number of Asian dialects, Italian, German (German's HUGE near where I grew up).... Northern Ontario has a large Finnish population... Russian and Ukrainian are pretty big too. I know of a school in Toronto that has a flag for every country with a student representative... And there are something like 80 flags. So yeah. We're pretty multicultural.

Average Americans don't usually learn French... I think they learn Spanish in schools. That aside, there are vast differences between Quebecois French and Parisian French... it's almost unbelievable how they're the same language, yet so different between the two countries. Bon chance, OP!

Yes, I know Americans don't learn french in school :) What I said is that most people don't understand me when I speak english, because of my accent... I'm getting better though! Also, the difference between french from France and "le québécois" is not that big. Only the accent and the slangs are different. However, there's something strange: Quebecers seems to understand french people from France much easier. I think it's because here, in Québec, we watch movies and tv shows translated in France, but it doesn't go the other way around! Sorry for my bad english by the way :3

No problem! :) That's what I mean, all the slang and the figures of speech between the two of them are insanely different. And because we're pretty casual as it is (at least in my experience in both French and English) - we use a lot of slang which leads to it being very hard to understand one another.
