So apparently the boss of Air Canada had to step down because... he doesn't speak French. Ja echt, that actually happened!
Sophie and Daan talk about why this is such a big deal in Canada, where both English and French are official languages. They wonder: should a CEO of a national airline really speak both languages?
Here's something to think about: if you were running a company in a country with two official languages, would you learn both? Or is English "good enough"?
Look, I get it. Learning a new language is hard work. But kleine stappen tellen, right? You're here, listening to Dutch, doing the work. That's what matters.
Goed bezig! 🧡
