Ouch, tough one for our friends in Québec xD
French is spoken in many parts of the world, including a great part of Africa, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg. And France includes several islands and Guyane, it's not just the mainland. Canada doesn't only have Québec, they also have other speaking French parts like the Nouveau-Brunswick (New Brunswick) and Acadie (Acadia). New Brunswick you might be tempted to speak English though.
I would guess everywhere should be fine, just know you might end up sounding like the people from the location you elected to go. Which is totally fine. It's legit French. France does not have the monopoly over the language and France also has its strong accents depending on the location.
- keiferski 3y agoI really liked Québec and think Montreal is probably a top 5 North American city, but to my knowledge and impressions from others, it's best to aim for a Parisian accent as the most prestigious and neutral accent. I don't have a super strong opinion on the subject, but personally I do prefer how France French sounds to Québecois French anyway. But sure, if you're only able to go somewhere other than mainland France, it's not the end of the world.
- jraph 3y ago> Parisian accent as the most prestigious and neutral accent you are going to offend the Normans with these digs :-) The most effective way to learn to speak French might be to land somewhere you enjoy being, that would be my number one criterion I think. Paris is a fine choice if you like the city. You might end up sounding Parisian from the rest of the world of course. Your foreign accent will probably be stronger anyway.
