I got a kick out of the comments about Quebecois, and the Quebec dialect. There's some American movie (name escapes me) filmed where they go across the boarder into Quebec. I found the dialect extremely recognizable, even though I can only understand a few words of spoken French.
Maybe it's because my extended family (who grew up speaking Quebec) sounded very different than my high school French teacher when they switched to French?
- mabub24 5y agoYou might be thinking of Bon Cop Bad Cop which is all about the differences between Franco-Ontarian and Quebecois French, or Standard French versus Quebecois. Where I live I hear a ton of Quebecois but even with knowing B2 level French I find the accent very hard to parse out. Here's a funny scene from the movie on Quebecois swearing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUGW0jszPzo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUGW0jszPzo
