French here, with an anecdote:
More than 20 years ago I visited Montréal. It was difficult to participate in discussions with french-speaking people because I could understand some participants very well and others not at all, just because there are different degrees of accent. In constrast, it was easy to understand any english-speaking person.
> There are so many YouTube videos of French people mocking us. It's not curiosity but a distinctly French superiority complex.
Nope, we also mock our own accents. There are many of them across our country. It's just for fun, we still like you.
- allarm 3y agoYeah, I remember how I tried to order coffee in a restaurant in Paris. Even though coffee sounds almost exactly the same both in French and in English the dude refused to understand what I need. Probably it was just for fun, but this type of fun is what stops me from visiting Paris ever again.
