Canadian English
Canadian English is a mixture of American and British English,/as well as French. Canada was a colony of England/and uses British spelling,/but the pronunciation is closer to American English. The Canadian pronunciation is similar/across the country. A person from Toronto sounds like someone from Vancouver,/even though the cities are over 4,000 kilometers apart.
Canada has two official languages,/English and French. As a result,/there are many French words/in Canadian English. For example,/Americans say “knit cap,”/while Canadians say “tuque,”/a French word.
Finally,/Canadians often use “eh?”/at the end of a statement. It’s not really a question. The speaker wants you to share the same feeling or opinion,/like “ne? ” in Japanese. When you speak English,/say “eh?”/instead of “ne? ”/and you will sound Canadian!
