I'm not originally from Quebec but I live here. I've been learning and teaching this beautiful language for 5+years. What's wrong with my pronunciation? Stop being so protective. 😊
Here in Ontario, Canada, we learned standard French. I had no idea, until now, that Quebec French wsa so different. I feel like learning French to speak to Quebeckers may be a waste of time.
You learned "International French" -- or, as we like to say here in Québec -- you learned "Radio Canada French." To say Metropolitan French is "Standard" is to implicitly insult the French varieties found in the dozens of countries countless states/provinces/territories outside Paris, France (heck, it even insults the regional varieties of French that exist in other regions within France that are notably different than Parisian French, but I digress). All that aside, I agree it is totally stupid that Canadian provinces outside Québec teach International French (especially Ontario, as you're a hop, a skip, and a jump away from us). However, Ontarian French is much closer to Québécois French than it is to International French (as are any Canadian varieties of French), so it most definitely would not be a waste of time to better understand the people all around you (as opposed to only understanding people overseas/on the silver screen).
@@brettlarch8050 ruclips.net/video/FKidng_Wkao/видео.html Missouri French (French: français du Missouri) or Illinois Country French (French: français du Pays des Illinois) also known as français vincennois, français Cahok, and nicknamed "Paw-Paw French" often by individuals outside the community but not exclusively, is a variety of the French language formerly spoken in the upper Mississippi River Valley in the Midwestern United States, particularly in eastern Missouri. The language is one of the major varieties of French that developed in the United States and at one point was widely spoken in areas of Bonne Terre, Valles Mines, Desloge, De Soto, Sainte Genevieve, Old Mines, Saint Louis, Richwoods, Prairie du Rocher, Cahokia, Kaskaskia, and Vincennes as well as several other locations. Speakers of Missouri French may call themselves "créoles" as they are descendants of the early French settlers of Illinois Country. Today the dialect is highly endangered, with only a few elderly native speakers. It is thought that any remaining speakers live in or around Old Mines, Missouri. :(
As a French Canadian, I don't even think this guy speak french to begin with (not that there's a problem with that but don't compare French from France to that)

This is rude. I'm not trying to do the accent, but pronounce it correctly so people learn the expressions from Quebec. There is nothing wrong with that.
@@tumulearningyes there is, insulting the people. If I wanted to compare spanish spanish to mexican spanish, I would get a spanish and a mexican guy. Not a spanish and a guy that is not from mexico.

I think it's awesome that you showcase a foreigner who has learnt Québec French, it gives the learning community a great example that it can be done and what that sounds like. But, it would have been useful and more honest to properly label your guest as a non-native speaker so that students understand that his accent isn't native. ✌️
What in this video made you say that? The word "fun" ? Anglophones say the first French word used in this video -- "beaucoup" -- all. the. time. Plus "rendezvous" , "entourage" , "entrée" (though incorrectly), etc etc. In fact, English vocabulary is roughly 30% French words (and another 20% comes from Latin). As French is (of course) a Romance Language, that makes English roughly 50% French. I'd say it's more influenced by French than the other way around.
Alexa could you put on comments how the french expressions are written as well ? Thanks for this as I work in Gatineau Canada so always find my colleagues use differnt expressions from class
Acadian seems to be closer to traditional french than Quebecois. We use "Beaucoup" & "mal" here in Atlantic Canada (New Brunswick, P.E.I, & Nova Scotia). The pronunciation is more similar as well.
Ma'am, I'm a new learner of French. Would you please suggest what should I learn first in French from beginning? Would you please give the link of your RUclips video which I should be watching first. It's my humbly humble request to you. Thank you in advance!
They compare two language registers. For example PANTOUTE or PAS PIRE are used in Quebec but it belongs to a popular or familiar level. C'EST AMUSANT ET PAS DU TOUT are also used when there are more formal exchanges. In school, I would never accept a student answering me using PANTOUTE or PAS PIRE. I would never use these expressions in a formal context. When comparing language, the level and the social context must be taken into account.
I live in Québec but Im my school it’s mainly teachers that come France except for a few so I say Whtvr France says with some quebecois. And my accent is a mix of a France accent , Quebecois ( not rlly lol I don’t sound at all ) and a bit of broken French bc not first language, ( English is my first language )
Nah le gars a pas l'accent québécois 😭🤧 Pas mal sure qu'y est français lui aussi ou c'est un anglais qui essaye la langue. Juste une parenthèse mais la madame a presque la même voix que Siri ou un machin robotisé 👀
It would have been a good idea to invite someone who actually speaks the French spoken in Quebec. There is absolutely no way this guy would fool anyone in Quebec into thinking he's a local. I understand him, but that's not a Québecois accent.
Je comprends qu'il parle d'une manière inhabituelle que vous ne connaissez pas, mais au moins il essaie de parler la langue. Vous n'avez pas besoin d'être aussi agressif envers lui. Je parle français métropolitain et je dois l'admettre, ça fait peur de vivre au Québec avec ce genre de gens autant que j'aime la ville de Québec.

Je ne comprends pas pourquoi on dit que les Québécois parlent un français plus pur vu qu'il ont aussi des anglicismes.

My problem with this kind of videos is that they always compare formal Metropolitan French with familiar Quebec French.
They were kind, they should start dealing with the faux amis:
Gosses, baiseuse, char, foufounes…
Québécois is basically influenced a lot by English.
Wrong, people from France use more English words than people from Quebec

Cool, I'm from Ottawa.
I believe that Quebec should have independence,but there completely fine right here,and right now.
Acadian seems to be closer to traditional french than Quebecois. We use "Beaucoup" & "mal" here in Atlantic Canada (New Brunswick, P.E.I, & Nova Scotia). The pronunciation is more similar as well.
We also use beaucoup and mal in Québec. En masse and pas pire are used, but not always and in a more popular register.
