French classes are always funny

Funny.. But in french class, I said that I visited Quebec .. So the teacher was like, yea their french is different, I bet you found difficulties understanding them.

Me inside my head *umm yea yea, this is the reason why! 🥔🤔 It is not because I do not understand french to begin with* O.o.

Me out loud; Ah oui, c'est bizarre 🤷‍♀️ Je ne comprenais pas bien leur français🥔🥴

*teacher nodding head in complete agreement*
French accents from different places are weird. Parisians for me are the worst bec they eat their words a lot and they speak so fast that I have a delayed time when answering them.
Quebecois for me have this very thick accent . I have a friend from Senegal and her accent is completely different from the Swiss/Belgian etc. (Ex: demain for her is “demeh”)
I just use the magic word: Pardon?…everytime I didn’t get what they were saying.

I took one year of French when I was in college. During the winter break between semesters, one member of the class visited a friend in Quebec and decided to practice his French while there.

When classes resumed in January, and he opened his mouth to speak, the professor (who was a native speaker from Belgium) almost shrieked in horror at his new accent! "C'est canadien! C'est canadien!" She actually told him that Quebec was the worst place in the world he could have gone to while he was studying French! 😄

@BittersweetPotato You haven't heard me try to speak French!
Ffrangeg is Welsh for French.....impress your tutor with that😀

@TheSirfurryanimalWales Hopefully I will be able to pronounce that. It isn't clever to try to impress someone by stuttering 🥔🤣

@TheSirfurryanimalWales Much easier now 🥔🥴

Instead of Oui, they sometimes pronounce it "why" lol

And of course, you have to learn all the profanity. Most of it is actually profaning parts of the Roman Catholic Church.
That was a lovely sentence you made, did you say it that way?

@EarthlingWise Yea but it is not like it came out as second nature, i need to pause and think even to say a simple sentence like this lol
@BittersweetPotato Mais c'est normal.

@EarthlingWise I suppose so.. I have not been studying much, but even the mere daily lessons are improving me... i really want to practice more french daily.. It makes me happy when I feel that I can communicate a little bit in french and I definitely understand spoken french much more than before and I am still a beginner..
