A question for those who have been learning French in a Canadian context (and who have learned other languages) -- how would you compare your comprehension of Canadian French vs. European French vs. other languages? My assumption is that because spoken CF (or QF) is further away from written language, that comprehension would take longer to acquire.

For instance, which is easier to understand (though both are probably hard to
understand): QF: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTO2SJL3pg8 EF: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df6FDRZFm40&feature=related 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

The Quebec French video was harder.

I only started to learn french when I moved to Outaouais region. So naturally the Canadian version is the one that I feel more at ease understanding. As for the other, I really have to concentrate hard and the level of comprehension is a far cry. The difficulty all disappears when I tune into formal programs such as news. But then again, no one articulates their speech like that of a TV anchorman in real life so that is practically useless. So for me I learn first hand that accent could be a real impediment to understanding, because underneath all that it is still the same french pretty much.

Here's a classic clip showing Quebecers interacting with a Frenchman:

For those of you who are not familiar with variations in local slang, "gosses" means kids in France and "b*lls" in Québec. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
