Learning French in Quebec is not just a choice; for immigrants, it is often a necessity. The province strongly promotes French as the common public language, and integration into society, employment, and even social life depends heavily on French proficiency. While this goal is understandable and important, the system does not work equally for everyone especially for blind people.

I live in Montreal, Canada, a city where French is the primary language. Interestingly, the name Oscar is derived from a French word that means “bones” and “body” a fitting name for my new friend, a skeleton model that has become an essential part of my learning journey.
