Cole Caufield: His French learning is making progress – DansLesCoulisses

Latest News / By /

When we think of the Canadian’s “face” at the moment, Cole Caufield is probably the one who embodies him best. Even though he isn’t the club’s captain like Nick Suzuki or a seasoned veteran like Brendan Gallagher, he is still the most popular person on the team.

And although he is only in the first year of his eight-year contract, Caufield risks being in that role for several more years.

Obviously, the question of language often arises in Montreal. Without expecting the organization’s big names to be perfectly bilingual, a significant portion of the fanbase would wish they had at least some basic knowledge of French.

Whether it’s broken or not, just the effort to do it is already a huge step forward.

And in a casual interview with Colby Armstrong (in which Caufield discusses a number of topics, including the Taylor Swift concert he attended this summer), Armstrong asks him how his French learning is progressing:

Things are progressing slowly. It’s still progressing, but I’m slowly learning. –Cole Caufield

In the same interview, Caufield states that the Quebecers on the team tend to test him on his knowledge of French from time to time. He tries to listen to them when they speak French to understand what they are saying, even if he doesn’t understand everything yet.

I find it interesting that an English-language medium honestly asked him the question. Questions like this often come up in French-language media, but this time it came from a Sportsnet employee: Colby Armstrong. Perhaps the latter understood the importance of the French language in Quebec during his (brief) stay in Montreal in the 2012/13 season.

But even though he’s still at the basics, Caufield is still able to add a few words in French from time to time. We will remember his “Goodnight Tampa!” “, and in his recent ad for McDonald’s he also includes a “Salut” in French.

Once again he won’t be giving a long speech in French tomorrow morning, but we can still appreciate the effort. Because in the end it’s the attention and effort that counts.

And if Caufield ever wants to improve quickly, all he has to do is follow Armstrong’s advice: In restaurants, it’s easy to speak French well by reading the menu. I liked it.
