French is common in Montréal, but almost all Montrealers also speak English, especially those involved in the professions, restaurant and hotels, and in retail marketing.

You can also go to certain neighborhoods where you will find Portuguese, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, and Arabic spoken. Montreal is an international city.

Both French and english are spoken in Montreal. French is the more dominant language though. Some people speak both english and French.

I live in Montreal and speak both english and french "quebec style" perfectly. I guess that because the population of Montreal is nearly splitted in half between people using primarily french or english as their language makes it easier for someone living here to master both languages to a level where no strong accent is audible. However this is not a generality and I am sure that the person you know feels more comfortable in either French or English. The language he thinks in would be the dominant one.

Language most spoken at home in Canada
English 68.6% 68.3%
French 22.9% 22.3%
Other language 10.6% 11.2%
Note that percentages add up to more than 100% because some people speak two or more languages at home.

French and English are equal to each other as federal official languages
