Learning French in Europe I got told my accent was Parisian when in Montreal(I think they meant European, not ‘good’. but I’ll take it over English lol).
I’m curious about how Canadian French / European French view each others language, and how that compares to American / British English
From what I heard, Québécois have no problem understanding European French accents due to exposure to French media. On the other hand, a lot of French people find Québec accents a bit difficult to understand because of the lack of exposure to it.
From my experience that’s fairly accurate. Although I’d say it doesn’t take very long for French people to start understanding our accent, like by the end of a week long trip they’ll understand 95% of it.
It’s not so much our accent as it is the jargon in my opinion. The Quebec french speakers can use a lot jargon that may seem or come off a little hillbillyish to European french speakers.
