I know it does. Every country has its own rats. I just take it more personally because I'm from Quebec and I just can't bear this kind of attitude. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Actually, the guy's beef is with language, culture and assimilation. I can't hear anything racist in what he says, or am I missing something? Here I am derailing my own thread... despicable... Edited by Arekkusu on 09 September 2012 at 6:18pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Really, that video is not worth discussing. But for those people who are really interested in spoken Quebec (and European) French, you should have a look at www.fluentfrenchnow.com. The blogger has started a series of studies of YouTube videos where he provides a very accurate transcription, a translation and an in-depth analysis of the language used. As of this writing, there are two videos from France and two from Quebec. A lot of work went into doing all that. Even I learned quite a bit about French from looking at this stuff.
And as for the closed-captions on Radio-Canada, RDS and RDI, I agree that there are often many mistakes. I should also point out that the closed-captions in French for Youtube videos are particularly atrocious because they are machine generated.

Un bel exemple du français québécois en action : http://www.youtube.com/watch?

I don't know enough about Swiss-German to comment, but HTLAL has 2 separate language entries for German and Swiss-German. Are these more different than français and québécois? Shouldn't Québécois also be language category?
Certainly, when we discuss Québécois, we aren't dealing with matters that would interest students of France French, and anyone interested in Québécois wouldn't find much if he simply looked for posts about French or native speakers of French. I started a thread requesting this here. Edited by Arekkusu on 12 September 2012 at 6:38pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

France French and Quebec French are not that different. The written and formal language are pretty much the same in both countries. In informal spoken language, the only difference is the grammar, a few words and the accent. So I think it takes very little input to be able to understand the other. I do not believe that Quebec people watch a lot of TV shows from France but I would not really know since I don't watch TV. However, I think people watch a lot of american TV shows and a lot of American movies and those usually get dubbed in France French as France in the main market. There is also a lot of French immigrants, French sudents doing a student exchange... in Quebec, way more than the other way around. 1 person has voted this message useful |
