Montreal: A Tapestry of Language, Culture, and History

In today’s English listening episode (B2/C1 English), we explore one of my favourite Canadian cities. Montreal.

This city, the largest in Quebec, is an extraordinary blend of history, language, and culture in North America. After a recent trip to Montreal, I asked if you’d like to learn more about it, and your answer was a resounding “yes!”

So for your advanced English listening practice, we’ll take a dive into:

  • Montreal’s roots, from the indigenous Haudenosaunee to the French settlers, to the multilingual, world-class

    city it is today

  • Its unique, plurilingual landscape, with French, English, and many other languages shaping everyday life
  • A few personal highlights and must-visit spots for any future visit

Hear You Go English language listening podcasts aim to give you, the intermediate English language learner and advanced English language learner, a space to practice your English listening so that you can think, learn, and connect in English.

Sit back and relax, or go out for a walk, and join me as I share some of what I know regarding the language, history, and “come as you are” attitude of Montreal—a city that welcomes everyone and hopes you have a blast exploring this world-class destination. Let’s go…allons-y!
