And I do.  My French is more than passable and remember, Quebec
is a Province in Canada still, although there have been "Movements"
towards independence even in very recent years, however even
Quebecens recognize independence from Canada was voted by
native Quebecens, not to be in their best interest.  I have also found
most Quebecens are very willing to speak English with English
speakers whom visit there.  Not so in France.  And both my
daughters speak fluent French and Vietnamese.  >:)
