I'm french and I think you are mistaking several things:
- Mocking Quebec accent is not 'superiority': it just happens that your accent kind of sounds funny for some reason that I have no other reality behind, probably some specific sounds bites make it 'funny'. I've always thought it's in good fun and certainly not disparaging. All french people I've met including myself have stellar opinion of people from quebec (even more than of their fellow french).
- I've never ever head someone making fun of another non-native french speaker accent. In fact we're happy when someone likes french
Sorry you feel that way.
- red-iron-pine 3y agoI live in Canada, and the folks I know who live in France (direct blood relatives) have mentioned that Quebec French sounds like a weird mix of Russian and Valley Girl, with a few weird terms mixed in. The English equivalent would be something like a deep Northern England accent which sounds goofy to my N. American ears.
