Mandarin (on the subway)
Cantonese (my neighbours) Hindi (my other neighbours) English (I live in Vancouver, Canada) It's quite common that I also hear Spanish, Arabic, or Farsi on the subway, and occasionally German or various slavic languages that I can't distinguish, but not too often. Ironically, although Canada is officially bilingual English/French, there are almost no French speakers at all here on the west coast. Occasionally there are some street punks that have hitch-hiked from Quebec (several thousand kilometers away), but all of the languages I mentioned above are much much more common here than French. 1 person has voted this message useful | |
