I'm a Dutch speaking citizen of a tri-lingual country and I take pride in
knowing the language of the other side well enough so that when we meet in the
middle a decent conversation can be had.
 
My Canadian experiences are mainly limited to BC and Alberta which is
english=speaking as can be. My very first time there in Waterton AB my friends
took me to a bar and said "Well, they speak french in Canada, will you do the
ordering? You speak french.." .... to make a long story short, that didn;t
work well.
 
Other than that when on business meetings in Montreal I could barely
understand the Canuck version of french, also when I linked-up with Nick in
Quebec City.
