True, but if she wants to represent Canada she needs to be able to speak to the Canadian media… _________________ My youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/xxJodelleFerlandxx?feature=mhee

Moving from Russia at the age of 4 to Canada? If that's the case…she would've started her school career in English and would have a good understanding of it…
Maybe if she was 14…? |

Fair enough, but she does need to improve her english skills. It's not too hard to learn to answer some interview questions in good English (or French, but I assume she'd have an easier time with English). Many athletes who change countries learn the language of their new country. _________________ My youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/xxJodelleFerlandxx?feature=mhee

I mean well spoken as in she spoke with class and was respectful. So, the opposite of you.
It is sad to see all of these comments. I know Russians, Bulgarians .... who moved to Canada and attended English speakng schools who have really bad grammar and speak with heavy accents so ... |

I know many Russians/Ukrainians/Bulgarians who have managed to learn good english without attending an English-speaking school… more specifically, a Russian figure skater who shall remain nameless mastering conversational English in about 3 months.
In a country such as Canada, especially in such an 'insignificant' sport, athletes must be able to speak to the media. I hope as her career progresses, and perhaps this will be easier when she graduates high school, that she can work on her English a bit. _________________ My youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/xxJodelleFerlandxx?feature=mhee
