Cheers Martin! I certainly wasn't having a go at the pronunciation (regional variations are what make language great!), just trying to describe what it sounded like to my ears.

2023-08-22 23:57:51 +0000 UTCThere's defintenly a North American twang to their French. I've been able to put on French Canadian TV for my mum (Ici-Télé) and it's hard, but you can hear the difference in the pronunciation of words. FYI, I have a friend from Barrie, so always mocking her about "eh", "aboot" and Canadian Bills being Monopoly money!

2023-08-22 23:56:23 +0000 UTCAhh I've never been to Montreal! I'd love to go one day. I have been to Quebec city though which is lovely!
Megan Ruth
2023-08-22 22:35:19 +0000 UTC😂 yes Québecois French is quite a bit different from the original French language, that's for sure!
Megan Ruth
2023-08-22 22:34:18 +0000 UTCI found the French Canadian accent lovely, with one excepton, the way they pronounce 'yes' ('oui'), it sounds like a bad Manchester accent trying to speak French! Gotta add though that I love Montreal, one of my favourite cities I've visited.

2023-08-22 21:18:10 +0000 UTCYou don't see many of them aboot!

2023-08-22 20:47:41 +0000 UTCMy mum is half French and she mocks the Québecois accent because of how they pronounce French words. They also have their own French slang words which are different from standard French.

2023-08-22 20:47:14 +0000 UTCTo be fair, most Canadians would probably say any British accent is sexy 😂 also this is just personal preference, but I don’t find the French Canadian accent very appealing! It’s very different from the France French accent.

2023-08-22 20:38:06 +0000 UTCI was in Montreal a few years ago, and got talking to a French Canadian who said that he absolutely loved the sound of my accent. I’ve got a fairly neutral British accent so I was like, “are you serious, you speak with a French accent!” Yeah it’s a very sexy accent, I guess it’s not so common in the West of Canada.
Adam
2023-08-22 20:09:53 +0000 UTCAs you should be!
Megan Ruth
2023-08-22 20:00:37 +0000 UTCOur next colonisation of the world via humour continues! Seriously though we are a little bit proud of our comedy and love to see it being spread around!
Adam
2023-08-22 20:00:14 +0000 UTCI'm not annoyed I'm just discovering it now! But yes, it's such a shame that such wonderful British TV has never crossed our boarders. That being said, my parents in Canada are very fond of their Brit Box subscription!
Megan Ruth
2023-08-22 09:18:38 +0000 UTCNope, he we was from France!
Megan Ruth
2023-08-22 09:16:26 +0000 UTCWas that guy French Canadian that you found hot?
Martin Phillp
2023-08-22 00:00:00 +0000 UTCYou saying you would definitely have watched this when growing up actually makes me a bit sad, I think we take it for granted that in Britain we were a bit spoiled and grew up with the best comedies from both here and across the pond (mainly US ones admittedly, but it would be a bit like me never seeing South Park, a show I grew up on and loved, and would be a bit annoyed if I were only just discovering it now!).
Adam
2023-08-21 20:51:09 +0000 UTC😂 I just meant it as a way of saying that when you're 17 the problems you think are super important aren't really that important... but to be fair, 17 wasn't a bad age for me. 14 was when it was really awkward! 😅
Megan Ruth
2023-08-21 18:54:00 +0000 UTC“Oh to be 17 again” Really? You’d be 17 again? I’m guessing you weren’t as much of a loser as these guys then.
