I think you're right...Trying to understand a French Canadian is really

something...I mean, if you're used to 'Euro' French !!!  



Although the roots are the same, the language develops is a different way

!! There are lot's of words and expressions, with completly different

meanings.... For instance 'bicha' means line of people, in Portuguese, and

in Brazilian means....eehhh....to be polite, gay !!





I told you so !!
