Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.
Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.
Québécois is French
However, the pronunciation is quite different from European French
The written forms are identical
I’ve heard there’s a few different words and things as well? Like she’d taught me a swear word specifically used in Quebec.
How would those differences affect me learning? Should I just forget about the difference and start learning
There are also vocabulary difference, but the written form remains basically the same because the vocab differences are largely informal
Your question is like saying "I have a Scottish friend should I learn to speak like them or should I learn California English"
It doesn't matter what resources you use, the language is the same
but you'll certainly need to familiarize yourself with the accent a certain vocab
Ok thank you. If I have a separate question should I ask in this little thread or go back to the first channel?
If the question is unrelated, it's best to post it separately so that other people can see it
It’s pretty much just how should I get started. Sure I could watch some YouTube videos but with plenty of people willing to help and tell me how they think is best would be nice. The only video I’ve seen essentially just said search up a textbook. Start reading it and watch some movies and stuff

Welcome to your French Adventure!

People like to ask French-related questions in #salle-de-classe, #salle-de-classe-fr and #salle-de-classe-vulgaire.
Come chat with us in #français-débutant (for beginners), #français, #🌈anglais-français, or the voice channels! Immersion is key to language-learning.

If you don’t find it appealing trying to learn French in a large community, you can find a penpal to learn with in #correspondances!
A Discord server offers options diverse enough that you can learn a lot just from hanging around, but it's always best to have other language sources, such as a textbook, Duolingo, Busuu, Anki, listening to music, podcasts, reading books and/or news etc. That way you can go from set phrases to more advanced language structures. No matter if you're a beginner, an experienced speaker or a native speaker, there's a place for you here! If you're confident, you can even help others in said channels.
