Sexyist accent of language

I prefer American English accent over British accent because it is difficult for me to understand the British accent…

I don’t know if you saw the X-men movies ( you might be too young) but Rogue in those movies has a Southern accent. I’m sure there are many many other examples in movies and tv.

or Matthew Mcounaghy (sp?)

Canadian English has different pronunciations of certain vowels…
Not in Quebec though.

My Quebecoise girlfriends are very nice. they have the same accent of French/English like this video but
I speak French like the French people (It is not very fluent only basic) but I have problem understand the Quebecois French, it is very different than in France. They say a lot of ‘O’ letter, so we say I am French Canado :grinning:

When i was buying something from the Paris airport, a girl told me my French is very good :grinning:

Cool!!! I didn’t know you were able to speak French!!! :grin: It’s great!!!

Yeah the Québec accent is so much different than the French accent. In fact, we have the accent people in France used to have before the French Revolution. After the French Revolution, people in France have changed A LOT their accent but this have not occured during this time in New France, which explains now the difference.

About the O sound, it is because we pronounce the A vowel a lot like the O.

I had a lot of colleagues from a different country and they told me that the Québec accent is easier to learn than the French accent. Do you agree?

Maybe because I already spoke a little French, I learnt in high school, I already had it set in a way.
I like the Paris French more… and it feels much easier. Sometimes I can not make out words/ and when they talk fast it is a nightmare. I already studied 8 months but I don’t practice a lot.

People in France, especially in Paris, speak fast as hell!!! This is really crazy!

My colleagues told me that they have a lot of difficulties understanding people from France speaking because of that.

People in Québec speak more slowly and in a more relax way.

Quand j’suis arrivé en Suisse pour passer une année en améliorent mon français, j’étais heureux à découvrir les suisse ils parlent beaucoup plus lentement que les francais. C’était plus facile à comprendre c’qu’on disais alors. Mais après ça on m’a dit que j’ai un accent suisse maintenant - je sais pas si c’est un accent drôle ça?

Je crois que l’accent des suisses est moins prononcé que l’accent français. Je préfère l’accent Suisse que l’accent français. L’accent Suisse me fait beaucoup moins rire car il est moins différent que l’accent français par rapport à l’accent québécois. :slightly_smiling_face:

En plus les suisses me paraissent plus sympas que les Français.
