Maura: Thank you so much for letting us interview you.

Katie: I’m actually very happy to be here so thank you.

Maura: OK great. So, Katie is a friend of mine that I met in university. And Katie has moved around quite a bit. She is Canadian, like most of us at Culips, and she grew up in Prince Edward Island and she moved around a little bit, she studied in Spain for a semester¹ and now she just moved to Montreal. So how are you liking² Montreal so far?

Katie: Well, I love Montreal so far actually. It’s a great city and it’s beautiful. I love the architecture³ and I’m lucky to have friends that already live here, so I’ve gotten to spend a lot of time with them as well.

Maura: OK great. And you speak French also, correct? So you’ve had some chance to practice your French while you’re here.

Katie: Yes, I have. I just actually moved here from Ottawa, and in Ottawa it is a bilingual city, but I found that I didn’t use my French as much as I could have because most people in Ottawa speak English, so coming here I find that I’m forcing myself to use the language a lot more and I’m definitely⁴ improving even though it can be a little frustrating⁵ sometimes.

Maura: Yup, for sure. So, let’s start at the beginning. You grew up in Prince Edward Island, which if you haven’t heard of that, it’s a province in Canada. It’s the smallest province, it’s an island, it’s on the East Coast, and it’s really a unique place in Canada. One more thing I have to tell you is that the full name of this province is Prince Edward Island, but most people call it PEI.
