Ubisoft Quebec to announce something company related on September 5th
- Thread starter dex3108
- Start date
It's not that, some people like me do want to learn French, but it's hard to learn Qebecois French outside of, well, Quebec.
People asking "can you survive with English" are sometimes asking "can I get around and not die of hunger until I learn the language?"
You dont have to learn Quebecois french though lol...we prefectly understand regular french you know and you wont have the French from France accent,you will have the english,quebecois accent
(if you are from Quebec or Canada).

Uuuuh, "Québécois French" is... French. It's not a completely different language, not any more than American English VS British English.
I know it probably wasn't the intent, but this was a bit insulting.

You forgot the "not"
I know a few guys who don't speak a word of French who work for Ubi MTL.
I'd still heavily encourage anyone working here to learn French though, for obvious reasons, but in MTL, it's definitely not needed.

Around 700m in investments in Québec in the next decade (1000 new jobs)

Ben honnêtement je comprends bien ce qu'il veut dire. Il manque vraiment de ressources pour apprendre les particularités distinctes du français québécois, même si c'est toujours la même langue. Même moi, quand j'apprenais le français en 2009, j'ai embauché un précepteur qui m'a défendu de parler avec un accent québécois, en raison de ses préjugés linguistiques. Du coup, maintenant je parle avec un accent parisien, et moi je ne suis jamais allé en Europe ! J'ai vraiment peur que quelqu'un ne m'accuse d'être snob.
Mais bon, en tout cas t'as raison, c'est la même langue et on peut toujours se faire comprendre.
Did they say where in Saguenay? I have a lot of family in Alma. Might be some interest.
And honestly, the QC language isn't that bad up there. It's a thick accent, but there really aren't that many colloquialisms besides bastardised English words (c'est bein hot! c'est full cool!). Probably not the best place to learn though...joual is not the most pleasing take on the language, heh.

And here I was, hoping that past 1945 most people should be aware that being nationalist hardly qualifies as a legitimate or respectable position.
What is entitled about not learning all kinds of languages while on a job search, but instead only starting to learn a new language of a country, when you start working there and feel it is a position you would like to keep for an extended period of time? If you are a game developer looking for a job, which languages are you required to learn as to not be considered entitled? Just French? Or also German (Blue Byte, Crytek), Polish (CD Project Red), Japanese (Nintendo, Capcom, many more obviously).....
Asking whether a job in an international business requires the regional language in order to apply is very natural if it is not explicitly outlined from the beginning.
