Montreal Chat Room
Free Montreal chat room in English with no sign-up: anglophones, newcomers and students talk about the city, French, winter and things to do.
#montreal-en is the English room for Montreal, a city where English and French meet every day. Anglophones from the West Island, McGill and Concordia students, newcomers from abroad and francophones who want to practise their English all have a place here. Choose a nickname and join, free and without registration, from your phone or computer.
Talk about the metro, the festivals in summer and how people survive the winter, the best bagels, a show at the Bell Centre, or the challenge of working in French. Newcomers can ask about neighbourhoods, French classes for newcomers and finding an apartment before Moving Day on July 1. Andromede is a French-speaking chat, so you can easily switch to French rooms when you feel ready.
The room is new and may be quiet at first; leave a message and come back. Respect both languages and the people who speak them. Keep personal details to yourself, and if you meet someone from the chat, choose a public place.
Conversation starters
- Which neighbourhood do you live in?
- St-Viateur or Fairmount: where do you get your bagels?
- How is your French coming along?
