- dghughes 5y agoA guy I worked with from New Brunswick was bilingual. He dated a woman from northern New Brunswick she only spoke French. When he met her parents he said her dad scowled at his poor French. To the father he was not French. So this person my co-worker bilingual French/English since birth had to take French lessons. I guess the words he used were bizarre to French-only ears.
