“Hi, my name is Viviana, I’m doing my twinning with Danielle and I’m very happy because I know some very interesting places that she showed me. We went to Château de Dufresne, Île de la Visitation and the same day to the Musée de Cidre. I also asked her to go to the Notre-Dame-des-Neiges cemetery, then we had cookies and coffee at Première Moisson (Danielle’s favorite place). I really enjoyed going out with Danielle, learning about Montreal’s history and making friends with her. At first, I signed up for twinning to practice my French, but I enjoyed every outing with her. I thank CANA for this extraordinary opportunity for my integration into Quebec society!”
“Participating in the intercultural twinning with Viviana allowed me to share our history as Quebecers, visiting museums, Montreal neighborhoods and even the Notre-Dame-des-Neiges cemetery. We have two different cultures, but a lot in common as women. What a joy!”
“In my opinion, twinning is a very good and important experience, because I had the opportunity to learn and practice my French a lot. During the twinning, I had the opportunity to share my experience and talk with other people who are from Montreal and who have knowledge of cultures. Since twinning with Thi Lieu, she has helped me to start reading in French, even though my level is intermediate. Thanks to her motivation, I’m able to read better and more and share my opinions with people.”
“Twinning is an opportunity not only to meet a person, but also a whole experience and life path. I was lucky enough to have two twins. Two different and equally fascinating people. Every moment spent with them is a sharing in which I feel their gratitude. Twinning has also enabled me to get to know CANA and the Ahuntsic district even better, which I discovered myself a few years ago, albeit with less of a change of scenery than my twins! I’m registered for a new twinning and I can’t wait!
