Sorry, I created yet another mistake but clicking quote again. I was trying to edit
post 5, but I cannot delete it now. So post 7 is what post 5 should have been. I did this
with post 2 as well..
Another poster told me to consider Skype to
practise language speaking skills, but I think this excentuates my inepetitude with
regards to computers and technology..

If you have this kind of trouble with your French and want to improve it by living in the country, than Québec probably isn't the best choice. In a bilingual country, you won't be forced to use it and everyone will surely know English, which isn't still true about France. |

Mind you, opinions in Quebec about languages are so polarised that there are probably many people who expect or even demand that you use French if you choose to live there.

The focussing on a Scandinavian language is quite interesting, I had never considered
that. I still wish to continue with the other ones however (and the C2 Spanish eventually
as in the other post), but perhaps I could also focus more intensely on a Scandinavian
one as well.
Today I noticed that Denmark do not allow dual citizenshi except in certain
circumstances. Norway, as well as not being in the EU, do not allow dual citizenship,
even though I had always like being there. Thereform Sweden and Finland remain, so
Swedish probably is one on which to focus.

Swedish is certainly useful in Finland (and my plan is to learn it better than most Finns do :P), but the situation is very different from, say, Canada. It'll be impossible to adapt properly without learning Finnish and jusy by relying on Swedish and English.
(the Åland islands are an exception)
