I'm moving to Montreal in a month so I would love to learn French before I go. So far I've been taking a stab at Duolingo, but learning a new language is hard! And this is coming from someone who already knows two.

I'd also love to learn more about European history. I learned US history and I know it very well, but European history is a gaping hole in my education s of now.

Montreal is great! Let me know if you have any questions, i've been living there all my life so should be able to help out with some stuff. Too bad you're arriving so late, the summer months really are the best.

I'm actually going there to study so I'll probably miss the summer anyways. I have literally no idea what to do there once I arrive. What's there to do that's fun?

It's a big city so it really depends on your interests. If you're a foodie there are lots of cool restaurants all around. You ll probably to the classic Montreal stuff like eat the bagels and smoked meat and walk up the Mount Royal within your first week or so and then it's just a matter of finding your favorite spots in the city. Let me know what you like and I might have some suggestions :)

I don't really know what I like yet, so I guess I'll just have to find out.
