I am extremely uncomfortable in new places where English is not spoke. (I'm not all that comfortable in strange places where it is, to be honest.) We did go to Montreal, and a fellow blogger who spoke French brought us to "french only" areas to experience what it is like not being able to communicate with our native labguage. I have never been an ignorant American, assuming everyone should speak english, but it definitely helped me appreciate the struggle of being foreign in a strange place more.
