Cultural observation

My cultural observation comparing both Quebecois culture and Anglophone.There’s not religious difference that I saw but I think it’s at the same level as Quebecois since there wasn’t any manifestation of any religious belief in my internship because it is not a place for that. The music we listen in then internship is different from what we usually listen in shops because it’s from a lot of countries I think it’s due to the fact we sell fair traded products that come from different countries which creates a different ambiance from what we see in shops in general. The news paper they read is the one from the neighborhood I did not get the chance if it was In English or French.

The type of English I’ve been exposed to is the everyday common one but I can see that there is more politeness with Anglophones then francophone speaker. I did not read a lot but sometimes my superior asks me how to say some words in French or I realize that we almost have the same expression in French but with little variations. Also there some times when I help my colleagues when they don’t know how to say something in French it’s a great chance to practice my understanding and comprehension skills and we actually are helping each others with our linguistics issues.

I did not learn new words recently but since now it’s been more than 12 hours that I’ve been in my English learning internship I feel like I get the chance to practice more and even use a wider vocabulary since get the chance to practice with Anglophones. I’m really happy about that and feel that I am getting closer to my goals or at least trying my best to. This experience is really helping!
