Today, I will practice my English. I learned to speak English in my twenties. But since fifteen years, I am living in a city where nobody speaks English. It’s so easy to loose a language, if we don’t care about it. Learning languages is interesting and fun.
But it does require a lot of patience. I have this quality, most of the time…
But one thing that drive me really impatient, is when people are late for a meeting . Specially when I am waiting in front of an empty screen. My time is precious, and as important as for the other. Maybe there is a cultural or generational value, but really, it’s making me mad. Sorry, I had to bring this up.

Today, I will practice my English. I learned to speak English in my twenties.
But for the past fifteen years, I have been living in a city where nobody speaks English. It’s
so easy to loose touch/fluency of a language, if we don’t care about it(if we don't use/practice it). Learning languages is
interesting and fun. But it does require a lot of patience. I have this quality,
most of the time… But one thing that drives me really impatient, is when people
are late for a meeting. Specially when I am waiting in front of an empty
screen. My time is precious, and just as important as the other person's. Maybe there is a
cultural or generational gap, but really, it’s making me mad. Sorry, I had to
bring this up.
Forgive my ignorance but is English not spoken at all in Québec?
