Beech has a few good points. I am an anglophone who worked in Quebec for 7 years and agree that with a little effort you can learn the aviation terminology used in La Belle Province. If you're flying with a french speaker ask him or her to help you learn and I'm sure they will oblige. The list of terms is not that extensive so it can be done. Besides France, you'd be surprised in how many other countries in the world where they speak french on the radio. Many countries in Africa and even in the middle east( lebanon) use french in aviation.
