When in Rome, do as the Romans. Learn French. Also learn to punctuate and use capitals where needed as life in the real world is not a chat line.
I'm from Montreal, but never learned French so I moved to BC before all that separatist nonsense happened.

A name like "Jacques" and you are from Ontario. How big a place is Orleans? We seem to have more than one poster from there. Why are you in Montreal for schooling if you cannot afford to be there? Why would your parents send you to a city where you cannot speak the language? At 17 you haven't even graduated from High School until the end of this school year which means if you are going to school there, you are a few months too early. I think you are a teen who stumbled onto here and think you will have some fun with us.:idea:

You'll have to look for jobs in the West of the island in order to find something... and even then, not knowing French is a significant handicap...

Well first things first I'm disappointed you think I'm here to have fun, I'm in need of help and before presuming anything which is very selfish, let me explain. First of Orleans is a big enough place for what it is,it has a population of 95,000, i can afford to be in montreal,also seeing the schooling is cheaper, i just need a job so i can pay for my books etc, seeing i do not want my parents to pay for everything, i would also like my own money on the side to be able to afford life, getting my license etc.Well my parents moved here because they now have to work here, and i have no choice but to go with them. i am also here to apply to colleges such as mcgill, concordia etc. I'm very serious about my education and i just want to be able to support myself and not rely on others, whats wrong with that?, learning french for me is hard, when i used to live here when i was smaller i never really picked it up, and i know now won't be any different, i took french classes in ottawa at my school in orleans and if you have any doubts of that it was st.matthews catholic high school and i still just cant pick it up its very hard for me, just like i cant seem to grasp math. All i am looking for his help not people jumping to conclusion and presuming i am on here for fun? I have had a major problem put apon me and it is very stressful, i have researched and all i have come across is telemarketing jobs and i guess that is what i am going to have to stick with but i dont even know where to begin i have searched and searched for hours and only 3 jobs have came up.

That is a problem i am temporally living in laval but am soon moving to lasalle, isn't the west islands very far without a car?

Orleans is pretty french, I'm surprised you aren't more fluent. take a quick class. I have no adivise, I have a hard enough time trying to survive in with what little french I know.

I did miss the part where you said you had moved there with your family. I thought you had moved there on your own. Moving past that now - you need to take some other courses before you get to the French. If you are just poor at typing I guess that's a different matter but if you are not - go back and look at how you have typed and how others have. I would not write (type) st.matthews catholic high school for example. I would type - St. Matthews Catholic High School.
They are all letters that in this case need to be capitalized. You seem to know how to spell quite well and that's a good thing. You say you have difficulty in math. Lots of us do so - while you are still young enough that it's going to matter for a very long time - get some help. Telemarketing is not going to help you learn the language. Try to find something that will. Go to somewhere like a MacDonald's where the people you work with will be speaking french. Nearly all cities have a place on line where you can job search. I can "job search" just by googling jobs in my city and come up with a number of sites. I live on the other side of the country from you and I do not know anything about Ontario or Quebec. I live in a province where most of us do not know how to speak French and have no need to learn it.
I wish you luck with your quest.

Yeah... Lasalle is closer to the West Island... I've never been in the West Island on mass transit so I can't help you there, but from what I've heard going in the West isn't that easy without a car.

Well, some good news even if it won't help me learn french, a company name Duro Design Inc. called me for a telemarketing job at home although i know it won't help me learn french i could take some of the money i make and take french classes and eventually maybe move onto something better. The only thing that is wrong now is that i am a little scared, my mother has said that many telemarketing companies can be a scam but upon research it wouldn't appear that it is.

that is a list of people they have supplied hardwood floor for. I not only have the phone number of the company that called me but an address and i know they are located right next to carrefour laval. I would just like to have some reassurance that this is indeed a good thing, i cannot find any negative information on this company online, I just do not want to be arrested and trialed for fraud. All the help will be much appreciated, thank you.
