View Comments

• Please do British and Australian accent for the next video. It would be lovely. 🙏

  • Rieka chan please

  • Australian accent is sooo hot

• Ahah, as someone from Quebec, I do prefer our accent in general, but the french one is definitely sexier ahah
  I like trying to speak in a french accent, it makes me feel fancy, whereas with the Quebec accent, it feels more chill and laid back.

  But both are really cool ahah

  • C'est normal de le préférer comme tu as grandi avec; et l'accent québécois.. c'est tellement calme et posé c'est trop bien

  • +Niumiko moi j'ai ni l'accent français ni l'accent québécois :')

  • Les deux accents ont leur propre charme :3

  • Maliha Khan tu as quel accent? o:

  • tu as quel accent? Moi je parle le francais international mais j'utilise des mots "soulier" "chum" "blonde| je suis quebcois mais je parle pas avec l'accent pure comme un quebecois XD

• I’m French and I once heard a Quebeceker girl speaking in the street of Paris, I fell in love right away. That was so cute! Vive le Québec !
  Love Quebec accent!

  • Quebeceker xdddd

  • Vient alors :3 Québécoise tout seule x)

  • D. VA moi je veut bien venir ave toi jsuis deja la xd

  • Moi j'aimerais trop aller en France, je me sens beaucoup plus français que canadien (faisant référence à ce que le Canada représente maintenant...), et je suis fier de mes origines!

• Ne nous faisons pas la guerre entre Français et Québécois!! Nous défendons une si belle langue!! Nous sommes tous soudés!!

  • Lea Lea exactement

  • Vous imaginez ce qu'on seraitsi on avait gagné la guerre de 7 ans ?

  • LucasTheSwordman Honnêtement avant les gens avec un fort accent québécois je pigeais rien, et puis j'ai vu des dizaines de film québécois, comme du Xavier Dolan (je sais c'est cliché parceque vous n'avez pas que lui en super réalisateur vous avez aussi Denis Villeneuve) et maintenant j'ai plus besoin de sous titres, je connais pas mal d'expressions, formulations de phrases....

  • C'est pas une guerre

  • Exactement ! Restons soudés, nous parlons tous deux la plus belle langue au monde

• My maternal grandmother was Quebecoise and she sounded as if she wanted to fight all the time! My mother, her daughter, was half Irish and had an very strong Eastern Canadian accent and actually did want to fight all the time. They were both like hockey players. :)

• It breaks my heart to see this many people say the Québécois accent is ugly. It sounds smooth, fast, effortless and exotic also. They often reserve the some of the English pronunciation which I say it's easier for the ear. Btw they speak perfect English so do not ask them to speak English when you are blindfolded trying to guess where they're from.

  • Was looking for that in the comment section ..was born in the US but I speak both languages and the french-canadian accent is pretty deep and a little hoarsy which is not far from the american accent and phonetic !!

  • The accent from Quebec sounds more like a French peasant's accent. Not that there is anything wrong with peasants. But if you listen to older French peasants who still speak in their dialects, you can hear the same sounds. However, somewhere along the way, people in Quebec seem to have developed a "honking goose" tone, like an American southern twang, only more pronounced. French peasants don't have that honking tone, and I don't think they ever did.

  • When i hear the québécois accent i laugh so much idk i tried watching a movie from quebec and i didn’t understand a thing so funny, but i like the accent

  • There are no single Québécois accent tho. Different regions have different accents.

  • Cuong Ngo this accent is not ugly, i'm French and i love Canada :)

• The French from Québec is an older version of French, which used to be spoken in France by the nobles in the 16th-17th century. At the very beginning of the colony, most settlers were men from Normandy and Brittany, so they spoke their regional dialects (which wasn't really considered French). But there was a shortage of women in New-France, so the king decided to send young educated women to help the colony, these are what became known as the "filles du roi" (daughters of the King). These women were, for the most part, orphans who were given a good education by the church, or in some cases, orphans or illegitimate daughters of noble families. These women brought with them the French that was spoken by the elite of France at that time, and of course it's what they eventually taught their children, so this way of speaking caught on in Québec. Later on, a linguistic shift happened in Paris, which gave birth to the metropolitan French of today, but because Québec was a part of the British Empire by that time, our French evolved in a separate way. Still to this day, Québec's accent is the closest to the old French accent, although the vocabulary has changed a lot, mainly through the introduction of various English loan words.

  • @Ganegui You are mixing up les Filles du Roi (700+) with the women who were banished. Two different groups, the later being beggars, sometimes prostitutes, criminals and marginals who were imprisoned in La Salpêtrières. Les Filles were given money and lived in religious institutions until they could find a husband. Linguists have associated French-Canadian with many old French accents, like the way we say the oi and ant sounds etc. Also we actually don't use that much English words and those we do use have been changed to sound French anyway. If anything, French-Canadians nowadays and speaking more and more French. We used to say parker mon char (to park my car, a char being pulling by horses lol strange it stayed until today) now a majority say stationner mon auto.

  • ​@Technite Quand les colons sont arrivés au Québec on parlait le même français qu'au 17e en France (bien sûr) à savoir les syllabes des mots étaient pas toutes prononcées etc. après la bataille des plaines d'Abraham, la France nous abandonne aux britanniques pis les échanges s'arrêtent entre France et Québec. Les deux langues évoluent séparées où en France on se met à prononcer toutes les syllabes etc. au Québec on a pentoute connu ce changement, ce pourquoi notre français est plus archaïque. Astheure une langue évolue, la plupart des patrons étaient des anglais faque certains mots lié au travail sont anglicisés; un boss, un shift de travail, le foreman. Mes sources? Ce qu'on nous enseigne dans nos différentes universités québécoise en linguistique (et ethno linguistique dans mon cas).

  • Wow... do you take extra history lessons?

  • This is a misleading comment... Quebec vocab is closer to the pure vocabulary of the old nobility, but the Quebec ACCENT is a descendant of the North French Accent, NOT the Paris accent of old.

• Je suis Française et fière de l'être mais nos amis Canadiens ont autant de qualités que nous, la vie n'est pas une compétition, ce qui compte, c'est que tout le monde se respecte, c'est ce qu'il y a de plus important, et je vais vous dire, soyez fière de ce que vous êtes et nous sommes tous uniques, on serait tous pareils, ce serait plutôt dommage

  • Je suis québécoise et fière d'en être une! Et je suis totalement en accord avec toi! "Pis de toute façon l'important, sé que toutes les accents sont sua coche" en gros tous les accents sont vraiment top. Alors je te salue la cousine!

  • @Isa 04 Merci bonjour de la France :)

  • +Del An  Merci. Vous aussi les Français avez autant de qualitiés que nous les Canadiens Français.

  • Personne n'as jamais dis le contraire. Autant de qualités certes, mais pas les mêmes. Et l'accent c'est un point pour nous :')

  • Del An
    Bah, déjà ils ont gardé la fleur de lys sur leur drapeau

• As a french, I always loved the accent from Québec so plz be gentle with them 🙏
