Hi, my name is Colleen. I live in Canada, and am a dual citizen of Canada and the UK. I'm a software developer learning French for fun. I need conversation partners in order to improve my conversational French. Although most of my lessons have been in Parisian French (and I do intend to speak French in France), I'd be thrilled to talk to some Canadian French speakers - when I speak French in Canada, I'd love to know what's going on and to understand the differences between what I've learned and what is spoken here.

    I think your sentence is fine, but you should say 'on the internet', not 'in the internet'. Hope this helps!

    'Catch you later' is also used in Canada.

    In Canada, a pot and a saucepan are the same thing. And, you're right, a casserole would be something for the oven, though we'd typically say 'casserole dish'.

    Both phrases are correct. Just two ways of saying the same thing.

    Interesting. I live in Canada and am not familiar with this phrase.

    Something that's helped me with my French pronunciation is singing in French. It's a great way to learn to mimic proper pronunciation and you don't even notice that you're learning because it's fun :)

    This is considered a 'bad word', however it isn't as bad as many others. I'm surprised to hear it used in a press conference, but given the circumstances it isn't nearly as bad as many other words he could have selected. Best not to use this word in conversation unless you're amongst close friends, I'd say. Maybe others can provide some more helpful context? cee

    I suspect any English speaker would know what you meant if you used any of the three phrases. Another common phrase when expressing such a thing is 'That blouse really makes her eyes pop!' Which is to say that it looks really great in combination with the colour of her eyes. Hope this helps.

    Yes, either word would convey the same meaning in this case.
