Why do most people speak french in Canada?

Most people in Canada do not speak French as their first language. English is actually the most widely spoken language in Canada. However, French is one of Canada's official languages, and it is the first language of the majority of people in the province of Quebec, as well as in some parts of New Brunswick and Ontario. Additionally, the Canadian government has implemented policies to protect the French language and promote bilingualism.

Is French one of the hardest languages to learn?

If you are taking French by itself, then it is a very challenging language. However it can be seen as both easy and hard, depending on your native language. There are some people (like myself) who find French easier than, say, Japanese. This is because my native language is English and there is a very big overlap in vocabulary, expressions, phrasing, etc. If you were a native English speaker, or a native Spanish or Italian speaker, then French is not very difficult... because you aren't really learning an entirely new language. You are almost learning a modified version of an existing language as the language families are the same or similar. If you were, on the other hand, coming from a completely different language family such as Sino-Tibetan (Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese etc) then French would be considerably more difficult. You could even take the point of view that French is to a Mandarin native what Mandarin is to an English speaker - completely foreign, it doesn't make sense, nothing is clear, the words are so mysterious, etc, etc. So, French is one of the hardest languages to learn if you have little or no experience with Romance languages or English (even though English is Germanic-based). Otherwise, if your grasp on English or another Romance language is strong, French will be a very quick and enjoyable new language to acquire.

What is the Second Language Acquisition research?

It is the study of how people learn a language which is not their native tongue. For example my native language is English, but my second language is French as i studied it from the age of ten, before i studied any other foreign languages. When researching how people learn a new language - be it in school, listening to radio or watching TV in that target language or by going to a foreign country and immersing yourself in that language, that is second language acquisition research.
