🥖 Baguette Bakas

[cedar arrow]

I can't find my croissant!!!!!😭

[zenith flint]

I still wonder why French is considered as the romantic language when the most common swearing word means something very degrading...

[foggy lotus]

Yea and ||most of slang is shit based||

[charred sentinel]

Dandelion coffee is soooooo good

I don’t even drink coffee 😂

[pure kelp]

Really ? That’s romance in my book 🗣️

[zenith flint]

That's actually true, now that you say it...

[foggy lotus]

There's also nettle soup
This one i tasted and it's good fr

[charred sentinel]

Sooooo good yes!!

Idk the French version tho

But ah so much is edible if only people weren’t so afraid of everything

[zenith flint]

Well, different cultures come with different eating habits

[charred sentinel]

Actually my area and us had a really interesting history with foregoing and edible native plants

Most of which is embroiled in racism, segregation and colonization of course

[zenith flint]

Ah, colonization...

[foggy lotus]

Most people are afraid of stuff bc of lack of knowledge about it (which is to their best, I'd rather not eat a flower than eating one and getting some sketchy disease because I mixed it up with its poisonous cousin)

[charred sentinel]

True, deadly look alike are very common

But I would like to argue: natural selection

Until we meet again.

[exotic pier]

wth

this is so smooth actually

i can't stop staring at it

[foggy lotus]

Noooo

It's terrifying

It looks like a train station i used to go to

And i don't want to go there next time and feel threatened by such a thing

[icy bridge]

I wanna see an animation in how it would look like from the inside of this train

[foggy lotus]

I don't think anyone's alive in this

[exotic pier]

wdym

it's a roller coaster :D

[foggy lotus]

i hold you in high esteem 先生 but i wouldnt visit your amusement park 🥹

[exotic pier]

😔

i love roller coasters though

[foggy lotus]

i dont like them

i mean

i would visit your amusement park

just not go on the attractions

i'd gladly spend 20e on a pizza there though

[dusty moth]

10 *

[exotic pier]

as long as you pay for the ticket

[foggy lotus]

ofc

[foggy lotus]

amusement park food is twice as expensive as the ones in pizzeria

[zenith flint]

Last time I've been to the amusement park was 8 years ago

In fact, I've only been twice to an amusement park : when I was 15, and around when I was 6.

[dusty moth]

Ah triste

[zenith flint]

Après, je ne peux pas confirmer ou infirmer ce que dit Nina, mais je me souviens que je n'avais pas tant apprécié les parcs d'attractions.

Peut-être parce que je suis une poule mouillée

[exotic pier]

😭

the older you get, the smaller the chances are that you can handle roller coasters

gotta enjoy them while you can!!!

😤

[zenith flint]

I couldn't even bear them at 15, お嬢様

For me there was no point in going to the amusement park, I'd rather stay at home and either do some math or playing on my mom's or my own computer

[dusty moth]

Yeah it really depends on each child's personnality

[zenith flint]

And already at that time I was already asking about the meaning of life, at 15

[dusty moth]

Everyone does AT that age i think

[zenith flint]

You think ?

Oh well

I thought it'd come later, at around 20

But hey, let's say that, at that time, I only was interested in my studies

[dusty moth]

It depends on the expérience you've already had in life

Some might just have a normal life (which IS ok)

And others might have had experiences

[zenith flint]

I had a rough start : both parents deaf, autism striking me but not knowing it for 21 years, bullying, a dead father at 18. Yet I defied all odds

[dusty moth]

Oh yeah that's why tho

Having Deaf parents must be a good expérience is it?

For me as long as love IS here, Deaf or not, IS doesn't change things

[zenith flint]

Clearly not. Especially for me, the eldest of a family of 5. I had to act as a kind of translator.
My dad loved me, that's undeniable. Even after the divorce of my parents, I remained at his side. And I can confirm that love doesn't need hearing sometimes.

[dusty moth]

Yes, but AT least (i hope), you spent good Times with him. Now he IS in a peaceful place where he Can rest, so all good !

[zenith flint]

I spent a lot of good times with him, of course

[dusty moth]

That's the most important, having no regrets = happy life

[zenith flint]

I do have a regret : I haven't explicitly told my father I loved him. Though I don't want to dwell on that fact.

[foggy lotus]

i worked in one

[dusty moth]

yes, but he knew it, fathers are really often like that

[pure kelp]

baguette bakas got emotional

I should call my grandparents

[exotic pier]

sounds like what a math teacher would say

[zenith flint]

Oh really ?

[solemn scarab]

I may have invented it

[steady needle]

finalement j'ai compris français à rythme normal
https://youtu.be/15lziZ2ch6M

je ne comprends pas tout que il parler tho

[foggy lotus]

quand il parle ||(when he speaks)||
ce qu'il dit ||(what he says)||

[foggy lotus]

du français
un rythme
||articles and pronouns are mandatory! ||

www

mais dans tous les cas bien joué !

[steady needle]

I still don't understand the video "le géographie de l'Algérie" enough to completely enjoy it

especially when I get even a tiiiiiny bit distracted

ce n'est pas bien

[foggy lotus]

it's a very niche subject so hold on tight! tu peux le faire

[thorn cedar]

Yeah, well, Linguisticae's video are not the easiest subject 😂
And his humor is also a bit tricky, i think x)

[thorn cedar]

It would be a bit weird to use "du français" here
I would say either:

• "Finalement, j'ai compris le français qu'il utilise à un rythme normal" -> Finally, I understood the french he use at a normal pace (you can't really really leave it unspecified, otherwise, it would kinda mean that you don't understand french anymore)
  Or
• "Enfin, je comprends le français à un rythme normal" -> Finally, I understand french at a normal pace

A case where you would use "du" would be:

• "Enfin, j'ai une bonne compréhension du français (parlé à un rythme normal)" -> Finally, I have a good understanding of (spoken) french (at a normal pace)

Ah and i use "enfin" because it's more natural for me to use it 😅

[steady needle]

je choisissais le dernier option

[foggy lotus]

la dernière !

[steady needle]

[steady needle]

les articles sont très difficiles

if you dont have them in your native language

still underuse them in English btw

[thorn cedar]

😂

[mint wing]

"enfin" is a more casual way to say it i'm guessing?

[thorn cedar]

Yep, I'm happy that I don't have to learn them xD

[steady needle]

[thorn cedar]

Hum, wait, I trying to think about it 😂

[foggy lotus]

Yea i used du as in he understood "some french"

[thorn cedar]

It's not really more casual but "Finalement" is more emotionless.... I guess? xD
I think I use it more to make statement like when I wrote something or when I want to say "Finally, I finish that thing you told me to do" without a lot of emotion.
"Enfin" is a bit more "Yes! I have finally finish that damn thing"

[foggy lotus]

I adapted his answer to his level for the language
He's been only a week in and has an exam on monday

[thorn cedar]

Wut? a week? xD

[foggy lotus]

Phrase au top ! Et oui ils sont difficiles 😄

[foggy lotus]

Yup ! On tente un speedrun de 10 jours

[thorn cedar]

Wow, good luck on that xD

It's just for the challenge or?

[mint wing]

oooh I see! thank you sm

[steady needle]

j'ai un test dans le lycée

et oui pour fun

[thorn cedar]

Np 😄

[foggy lotus]

Bah ça se passe plutôt bien, on n'a fait qu'une dictée pour l'instant mais ça va, niveau compréhension orale ça va plutôt bien

[thorn cedar]

Okay 👀

[foggy lotus]

Au lycée (at + the, à+le=au)

[foggy lotus]

Et le fun ;)

[foggy lotus]

En tant que mot de liaison, enfin marche aussi en tant que conclusion "pour finir"
Ton "enfin !" c'est l'interjection

[thorn cedar]

Yes for the first but I'm not using it as a interjection.
"Enfin" has also the meaning of "After a long wait" by itself
Whereas "Finalement" does not.
If I have to reformulate the sentence to an extreme, it would be:

• "Finalement, j'ai une bonne compréhension du français" -> To conclude, I have a good understanding of french
• "Enfin, j'ai une bonne compréhension du français" -> After a long wait, I have a good understanding of french (I should change change the english sentence here, but the important point is the beginning xD)

[foggy lotus]

aaaah yea ok i see！

yea enfin is a better translation for finally

[thorn cedar]

"Finalement" is a bit like making a report, so that why it seems unatural for me (I had to search to check that because i could feel that something was off but didn't know exactly why xD)

[steady needle]

pourquoi.... pourquoi je ne comprends pas des gens en twich?

ce qu'ils parlent n'est intelligible pas

[thorn cedar]

"sur twitch" think "on the platform (of streaming) twitch" 👀

[thorn cedar]

"ce qu'ils disent" -> what they are saying (but without specifying what they talking about)
You could also say "ce dont ils parlent" -> The subject they are talking about (but I don't think it's what you wanted to say here)

[foggy lotus]

Et c'est parce qu'en français parlé on a tendance à manger des lettres ! Et certains accents en mangent encore plus que d'autres

• l'argot, le verlan...

[charred sentinel]

A chaque fois j’écoute “verlan” ma âme décède

Il est trop difficile pour ma petite tête, donc pour le moment je fais semblant il ne existe pas

[charred sentinel]

Off topic for a sec, every time I see your pfp it feels like I’m slowly reading a manga 😂

[thorn cedar]

Le verlan est "fait" pour être difficile à comprendre malheureusement x). Mais ne t'inquiète pas, au quotidien, tout le monde ne l'utilise pas autant que ça 😄

[thorn cedar]

"mon âme" unfortunatly. Yeah, "âme" is a feminine word, i know but you need "mon" here. Don't ask me why xD

[thorn cedar]

"qu'il n'existe pas" for the end. But otherwise, it sound pretty natural 👀

[steady needle]

j'ai fini le compétition au lycée

ce n'était pas terrible

mais ce n'était pas bien aussi...

c'était plus bien que quand j'ai essayé

[thorn cedar]

Tu veux dire que ce n'était pas si terrible que ça?
Sinon, bien joué 😄

[steady needle]

I had the last one in the test!

the last word

and I had no idea what it ment

[thorn cedar]

"Joué"?
It mean "played" 👀

[steady needle]

yep, I looked in the dictionary

now I have 11 days to prepare for same thing but for mandarin chinese

[thorn cedar]

And you can use it like that to say "Good work" ("bien joué")

[thorn cedar]

wth xD

[charred sentinel]

thank you

[foggy lotus]

for the ease of speech
just like "bel homme" sounds like "belle" despite "homme" being masc

[foggy lotus]

u some crazy language mad guy arent u

[steady needle]

yes I am

I looked at competitions and said "why not, sounds fun"

don't regret tho

french gave me kinda good exp overall

worthed it

also I found some interesting youtube channels

[foggy lotus]

t'inquiète pas, pour moi aussi des fois il me faut 2 à 3 tentatives avant de bien comprendre la première fois que j'entends un mot venant du verlan 😅

[steady needle]

I hardly understand them for now tho

[foggy lotus]

i was worried you'd end up hating it!

happy you had a good time

[foggy lotus]

wwwwwwwww

||it's manwha tho but ||

[steady needle]

|| you misspeled ||

btw I just looked and I'm going to get results only next month

[thorn cedar]

Yes, it should be something like that x)

[foggy lotus]

thats in a long time

jeez

[steady needle]

yep

well they gotta check every guy that wanted to do this competition around the country

its like a tournament thing

you go competition inside school, then district of city, then city, then region, then country

if you make it to the end I mean

[charred sentinel]

Www

[exotic pier]

[exotic pier]

Genshin and France

My two favorite things!

[main heart]

Time for an anime idea

[steady needle]

lol my homeroom teacher today said that the only remaining french teacher in school now interested in seeing me

as he said "she said: point a finger on that boy that knows something in french"

I haven't seen her even once btw, since there's no french as a subject in school and now she teaches another subject

[steady needle]

can someone rate their french pronunciation, just out of curiosity
https://youtu.be/yTyX_EJQOIU

they sound good to me but you never know unless you're a native

[dusty moth]

Euh in my opinion it's ok for someone who just began to learn french

but i have a russian friend who has a very very good accent (not perfect because of the R's and the U's) + he speaks fluently. It's just a matter of practice imo

[thorn cedar]

I can understand them easily. But they also have a very strong accent 😅
I don't think it will be a problem most of the time thought 👀

[steady needle]

then I am accent deaf I guess...

I mean, I expected it since they're in no way related to french, they're a geography and history channel

I just wanted to make sure it's me deaf and their accent bad and I'm not trashing their abilities just because it's not something they do on the channel

[thorn cedar]

No, you just don't know the difference. Here https://youtu.be/yTyX_EJQOIU?t=47
When he said "Je voudrais", the "vou" use a "u" sound quite common in english. But in french, it's a "ou" sound which also used in "Bonjour". It's a pretty common mistake that I see a lot. But when people learn pronunciation, nobody tell them those kind of things. And worse they said, you should learn all the phonetic at once. But that just don't work.
I can't help you for that, but for english, I tried to study some phonetic just enough to kinda understand that. Like in french, there is one "i" sound but in english, there are two (one "i" like "fit" and the other like "feet"). Just knowing that those sounds exist help a lot (even if you can't distinguish them for now).

If you can take the habit of searching the prononciation of the term you heard, it can help a lot too. Just seeing the phonetic and that pronunciation use this symbol can make you more conscious about those difference. I spent a lot of time on the Cambridge dictionary just for that and it did help in my case. But it also did take a bit of time. And even the other day, I searched some terms. But in my case, I'm just doom xD (I have an "internet" english accent 😂 )

[proper aurora]

tkt mec

[foggy lotus]

they dont have a strong accent when they say random words but it sounds very foreign when they try to say actual sentences
they also make grammatical mistakes so i wouldnt take them to the word 👍
you can refer yourself to the subtitles though they seem pretty good even though very out of sync
||also bof is definitely not used like that||

[steady needle]

I'm too accent deaf when it comes to european languages somehow

[foggy lotus]

well hearing accents in a language you dont know is actually very tricky

i wouldnt call it accent deaf

if you asked me to spot the accent of a korean talking japanese or a czech talking german i wouldnt spot it either 🤷

[cedar arrow]

Oui et je sais aussi que le E signifie "européen"

Vous voulez dire le N1 du 日本語能力試験 peut-être ?

[minor forge]

Recherchez le CEFR sur Wikipédia, le japonais est l'une des langues acceptées pour le CEFR.

[minor forge]

Non, c'est juste B2 à mon avis

De plus, le JLPT est destiné aux personnes qui l'apprennent comme langue seconde et non aux natifs.

[dusty moth]

"Mon reuf", Lorenzo bientôt Pessi ??

[cedar arrow]

Pessiって何？

[cedar arrow]

Et donc c'est quoi votre but ? Dire aux natifs que vous êtes natif ou dire aux étudiants que vous êtes d'un niveau dont ils généralement n'ont font pas référence ？

[dusty moth]

Pessi is a twitter community (it means Messi + penalty). If you try to understand them, they will eat you

[minor forge]

Ni l'un ni l'autre. Mon objectif est simplement de trouver ici des natifs qui souhaitent apprécier la langue japonaise et approfondir l'étymologie et les kanji inutilisés.

@desert canyon bienvenu dans le french corner l'américain

[slender dew]

Hello, je commence une fac de japonais/anglais en septembre donc j’étudie deja car jai peur de ne pas assez vite progresser. Est ce qu’il y a des gens qui étudient aussi activement (qui font les memes etudes ou qui étudient tout les jours quasiment)?

[foggy lotus]

yes moi c'est le cas

pas une fac par contre mais un bachelor dont on doit atteindre le n3 a la fin de la 2e année

[slender dew]

Cest un bachelier aussi. Tu es belges?

[foggy lotus]

te mets pas trop la pression parce que je suis rentree dans mon bachelor en pensant que des gens auraient commencé ou seraient déjà chauds etc mais tout le monde commençait tout juste à lire hiragana/katakana

non française

donc ouais rentrer avec un niveau déjà n5 ca aide bien, par contre c'est pas nécessaire je pense

[slender dew]

C’est quoi la différence entre bachelor et fac ?
J’utilise le mot fac car je croyais que ça signifiait université 😶

Oui a l’université ou je vais c’est pareil. Ya pas de pré requis on commence aussi avec hiragana et tout mais étant Tdah jai un peu peur d’être perdue

[foggy lotus]

fac c'est publique et bachelor privé

et oui fac = université 👍

bachelor = école supérieure

[foggy lotus]

dans ce cas là c'est mieux de prendre un peu d'avance pour aller plus à ton rythme

j'ai une amie TDH là bas et elle a beaucoup de mal (sauf ce qui est des kanji puisqu'elle avait fait du chinois au lycée)

[slender dew]

ohh ! okay merci pour la précision. j'ai déjà rater 2 années en psycho (apres l'unif ou j'étais est élitiste) donc j'avoue que je panique un max a l'idée de commencer quelque chose de nouveau. Tu utilises quel livre pour apprendre? (en dehors de ce qui est des syllabus proposé par ton bachelor)

[dusty moth]

Hello ! En soit, si t'aimes ce que tu fais, y'a aucune raison de paniquer. Le seul pré-requis (selon moi) dans toute formation est le travail et la discipline, chose que tu as acquis pendant tes deux dernières années en psycho

[slender dew]

Hello!
Pas vraiment c’est plus complexe que ça, j’ai adoré psycho, c’est le métier de mes rêves mais jai trop de mal a assimiler les informations, malgré le temps passer a travailler et mes médocs rien n’y fait 😶 j’étais plus financeable jai pas arrêter de mon plein gré.
Je suis cependant bien d’accord sur le fond de ta pensée.
Quel livre utilises-tu aussi pour apprendre?

[dusty moth]

Je comprends, la santé avant tout ! Perso j'ai pas encore tryhard le japonais, je suis en licence d'informatique, donc pour l'instant je ne suis pas trop focus sur les langues, je ne peux donc pas te conseiller quelque-chose

[slender dew]

oh oki oki!

[icy bridge]

bonjoir! I have french classes and an exam yet I cant make a single sentence

do yaal think am cooked?

[slender dew]

What is your exam about?

[foggy lotus]

Pour les cours j'utilise minnano nihongo
En dehors des cours j'ai bunpro, renshuu et un livre en anglais dont j'ai oublié le nom

[slender dew]

Okay okay ! 🙂

Faut penser à dormir un peu hein (rien à voir avec le contenu du message)

[foggy lotus]

[dusty moth]

Nah je voulais dire que t'a écrit ton message à 4h du matin => tu ne dors jamais ! Ce qu'il y'avait entre parenthèses était là juste pour que tu ne confondes pas le contenu de ton message avec ma remarque

[cedar arrow]

確かにな

[cedar arrow]

bonsoir, je voudrais savoir comment apprendre le français parce que, honnêtement, j'essai depuis 30 ans et j'ai pas du tout encore compris.

Ma langue maternelle c'est l'Italien et donc, très loin, difficilissimo

[dusty moth]

Habibi, are you gonna study in english at your uni ?

[cedar arrow]

you mean in Paris or in general?

[dusty moth]

Paris

[cedar arrow]

I haven't decided yet, maybe I can do it here

[dusty moth]

No I meant : if you go to paris, will you study in french or english ?

[cedar arrow]

literally no idea

but I'm guess in French

[ivory trellis]

i think he'll study in Japanese

[cedar arrow]

@mint wing Bonsoir et désolé pour le ping.
Pouvez-vous m'expliquer pourquoi vous avez écrit dans votre "about me", « do your best or don't try at all » ?

J'ai réfléchi brièvement et je suis arrivé à la conclusion que, personnellement, je ne suis pas du tout d'accord avec vous. À mon avis, il serait mieux d'encourager les gens à faire le premier pas, même lorsqu'ils n'ont pas assez d'envie ou de confiance en eux pour commencer. Je soutiens fermement qu'ils doivent essayer de toute façon.

Je vous souhaite une jolie soirée !

[mint wing]

oh man, my french is not good enough to reply coherently. but i meant it more as "go all in", really try, don't cut corners and be honest with yourself, etc. not in a discouraging way, quite the opposite

[cedar arrow]

Ahahahah okok

I was half-joking so it's cool actually

[mint wing]

i figured it was more for you to practice french or something

[cedar arrow]

Yes ahahah

[minor forge]

Salut, comment cv ?

[minor forge]

Parles-tu le francais ?

[cedar arrow]

bah ouais

et tu ?

[minor forge]

Je parle un peu français, mais ce n’est pas parfait mdr

[cedar arrow]

bah c'est bon

je crois qu'y a pas de « français parfait »

[cedar arrow]

j'espère vivement que la France ne disparaisse（？） pas avant mon arrivée

[agile wave]

Lol un endroit pour ceux qui parle français 😆

[cedar arrow]

bien sûr, il faut nous ségréguer quand même

[meager pecan]

mais pourquoi cet forum n'est-il pas mort deja comme quoi c'est un serveur japonais

ah ben jpensais quil y avait une notif whoops 💀

[fluid fulcrum]

Faut resusciter le forum mes baguettes

[cedar arrow]

on l'utilisait bcp plus à...« la belle époque », jsp comment l'appeler quoi

mtn y a pas de engagement

sadly 😔

[foggy lotus]

si y a le français de l'académie française ☝️🤓

[foggy lotus]

||j'essaie.......je ne comprends pas encore tout. (i don't understand everything yet; what you wrote would roughly translate as "i didn't at all yet understood")||

[foggy lotus]

||"à propos" 👍
pas envie ou pas assez confiance en eux pour se lancer (commencer marche mais c'est plus joli de dire "se lancer")||

[foggy lotus]

||"le" is not mandatory here so you can just skip it, it sounds more natural. also, reverting subject and verb will fit more with the casual tense you're using -> Parlez-vous français ? (formal) / Tu parles français ? (informal)||

[foggy lotus]

||this sentence is, though!
for a more natural way to answer, in french we usually don't retake the whole sentence, because we already know what we're talking about, so it would be more natural to say:
"tu parles français ?
-bah ouais et toi ?
-un peu, mais [c'est pas] (keeping the informal tone; ce n'est pas -> c'est pas) parfait mdr". alternative could be "un peu, mais pas parfaitement"

however, if you couldn't speak it but only read it, now you would need to precise "je peux un peu le lire, mais ...."||

[foggy lotus]

||more natural to say "vraiment" rather than "vivement"; though vivement sounds like you're trying to be poetic or effusive
ne disparaîtra pas||

[foggy lotus]

top 3 french people's favourite things

[foggy lotus]

not sure i understood w

[foggy lotus]

ok so threads arent called "forum"s tho, we just steal english word thread 😭 "forums" are whole websites dedicated to specific subjects, not discord threads

[foggy lotus]

"comment l'appeler." "quoi" sounds like you're trying to emphasize your sentence and it sounds weird here, as if you were in front of him and he looked at you like that 🤨 while you were speaking so you added "quoi" to be like "trust me bro i don't know how to call it"

[foggy lotus]

||"mtnt y a plus d'engagement"
tristement :p||
you could also use "engouement", though technically it has less of the meaning that "less people are active" and more that "people are less enthusiastic about the thread". I don't think most people would nitpick on those underlying differences as both words are not used that commonly in everyday conversations

[foggy lotus]

also "à la belle époque" works best, alternatives that come to my mind would be
-"à l'époque" (less subjective)
-"tah l'époque" (obviously very slangy w)
-"à/pendant l'âge d'or" (same level of speech, though, imo "la belle époque" sounds nostalgic while "l'âge d'or" sounds like you're emphasising the thing rather than your emotional attachment to it)

[meager pecan]

idk if this message was just heavy use of queb french somehow but I just said "how is this thread not dead yet, like what? its a japanese server"

[meager pecan]

Ive seen it used?

proprement cest fil de discusion si tu veux etre exacte mais quand meme la majorite des personnes saches qsq je veux dire

aussi jsuis sur mon ordi alors jmenfous que la comprehension de mes messages est diminue par la manque daccents

[meager pecan]

btw to be clear I regularly mix up the words in english too lol

[meager pecan]

aussi, pourquoi donnes-tu autant de corrections??

[foggy lotus]

owww i see!! here we'd say "comment c'est possible que ce thread soit toujours pas mort ? c'est un serveur (de) japonais quoi" or variants :D

[foggy lotus]

could be in queb french, i really don't know their slang :D but most french people i see on discord servers dont even use threads tbf... but in the mainland i'm a 100% sure that a forum is just a 3rd party website

[foggy lotus]

parce que j'aide ceux qui apprennent le français :D parce que les cours c'est bien mais des fois y a une différence entre ce qui est enseigné et ce qu'on utilise vraiment, donc je donne des précisions ou autres
souvent les gens, comme en japonais, mélangent les niveaux de langues (formel/informel) par manque d'utilisation en cours donc c'est aussi une opportunité pour eux de pratiquer avec des gens qui le parlent tous les jours :)

[foggy lotus]

je connais pas le fr québécois mais pour ceux passant par là qui comprendraient pas, sur le continent, sans reprendre les accents, on dirait ||plus exactement c'est ....... tu veux être précis, ........ la majorité des gens savent ce que je veux dire||
||........ que la compréhension de mes messages soit diminuée par le manque d'accent||

[meager pecan]

huh cool, d'ou viens tu?

[meager pecan]

jpense q jai malcompris un de vos messages plus tot, ou tu disais que tapprenais encore le francais, alors jetais un peu confus que tu donnais tout les corrections lol

[meager pecan]

ouais le genre et conjugaison de quelques mots sont incorrect haha, meme si jetais presque parfaitement billingue quand jetais jeune ca fait plusieurs ans que je suis dans une environment presque exclusivement anglais

[cedar arrow]

i love l'âge d'or

bref j'ai mis l'expression entre parenthèse pq je voulais faire un petit jeu de mot, je faisais pas référence à la vraie belle époque

[foggy lotus]

france :D
||same as when I corrected someone else earlier, here inverting back subject and verb is better when talking in informal form; d'où tu viens / tu viens d'où||

[foggy lotus]

c'est parce que j'ai beau être native y a quand même plein de mots que je connais pas mdr
||alors je comprenais pas pourquoi tu donnais plein de corrections (in ML france we don't say "je suis confus", though it's grammatically correct, and i would guess common in qb french due to the english inspiration :D)||

[meager pecan]

I never noticed that kind of nuance but it is intuitive, I havent really had many french friends so the last couple years my only exposure has been to school french, and that has an underlying formality to it

[foggy lotus]

yea teachers tend to only teach how to use the formal construction

which leaves us frenchies with foreigners who sound very posh www

[foggy lotus]

||et la conjugaison ........ plusieurs an__née__s ...... dans un environnement||
yup language is like everything, don't do it for some time and most of it goes away

though to be fair even with small mistakes it's still fairly understandable

[meager pecan]

haha yeah, that is until u start using "salut" for every greeting before realizing its rude outside of quebecisme 💀

[foggy lotus]

xD

[meager pecan]

I did that for my entire france trip 😭

[foggy lotus]

between friends, here "yo" or "wesh" would be common too

[meager pecan]

wesh!? never heard it

[foggy lotus]

i mean as long as it's not work context it's fine 😂 sounds quite a chill attitude from a complete stranger but otherwise it's not as rude as wsh or yo 😂

[meager pecan]

I got some pretty strained looks from the airport lady

[foggy lotus]

we've got lots of arabic borrows in the last 10 years, most of it is very informal and i would not be surprised if it was not taught at school hahaha

[meager pecan]

wow, thats super interesting, altho mtl (where Im from) is very multicultural, there is 0 arabic influence on the language since we separated from france around 3 centuries before arabic immigration occured to france

[foggy lotus]

j'avais compris tqt 🫡
l'âge d'or a aussi un côté historique mais beaucoup plus vaste que LBE (l'âge d'or de l'islam, l'âge d'or du hip-hop...) c'est pour ça que je me suis dit autant ajouter des précisions

[foggy lotus]

yup! instead you guys have plenty of english borrows :D

even more than we do

[meager pecan]

its really wierd cuz I always thought that, but then my grade 6 teacher was from france and she said that francais de france uses a lot more english borrows actually??

it always threw me off a little

but I think we just have borrows for different things

[meager pecan]

jai aucune apercu a propos de lhistoire de france, alors jenais aucune idee de quoi vous parlez 😅

that was very wierdly wiriten

Im rushign lol

[foggy lotus]

we use a lot amongst young people but older generations (40+) usually have no idea what you're talking about
even words as simple as "screenshot" i have to translate everything in french for my mom 💀 i know in quebec they tend to translate a lot of things too but we usually don't bother when talking to each other

[meager pecan]

aussi a cause du fait que je nai pas damis francos, jai beaucoup de difficulte avc le slang

[meager pecan]

non mais ici on dit "courriel" et "capture d'ecran"

[meager pecan]

could be the school french but when I go to multimedias I need to use these words or they dont get me

[foggy lotus]

yes je répondais à lori
||j'ai aucune notion de l'histoire ....... j'ai aucune idée de quoi tu parles (informal, keep "tu" consistent)||

[foggy lotus]

here i never heard courriel unless informative things at school back in elementary, 2008 😂

[meager pecan]

mais non tu parlais avec lorenzo, mais oui apercu est rarement utulise

[meager pecan]

ya, but Ive heard my dad talk with his colleagues, and they also use words like that to be fair, and he is fluent and sounds suuuuper quebequois

also, my first 4 years of school were at a place that taught francais de france so my accent is in this wierd middleground where it doesnt sound french, but not fully quebequois either, and my lack of persistent usage makes me overdo my r's and mess up vowels when I speak too fast

my french friend that lives in quebec but has french parents says it sounds "international with a hint of american"

[foggy lotus]

||franco means rough in slang ww but a very good dictionary is Wordreference. it usually don't have the "younger generation" stuff (very little arabic borrows in it) but la langue française can be a good complement if you encounter some and don't really have an idea of what's going on||

[meager pecan]

basically I cant speak perfect french with anyone really lol

[meager pecan]

oh, everyone says anglo or franco here

since the queb language laws

like with a crowd, a patrouilleur might say est-ce quill y a des anglos ici? tout le monde est confortable en francais?

its just whatever your preference is

like if you went to my school to the french sector, Id say il est du secteur franco

[foggy lotus]

yup but i meant it as in, here, if you tell a 45 yo the word "screenshot" he'll look at you like you're some alien, while i guess in quebec it would be much more common, even if they don't use it
but in the same way as you, i know very little about quebecois french so maybe i'm wrong :D

[foggy lotus]

yea, well here we would understand "capture d'écran", but "courriel" would make you sound old af 💀

[foggy lotus]

r is fairly the most mistreated letter amongst foreigners so dont worry wwww my spanish friends treat it as their own latine "r", a lot of other foreigners force it a lot like a "rh" or not enough like an aspirated "h", so it's alright 😂

[meager pecan]

I dont really think so, I dont think screenshot is a great example tho because I know 45 year olds that would look at you that way that are english 😂

[meager pecan]

people have told me I have the proper pronounciation of it, I just cant do it too fast without choking on it

[meager pecan]

rip everyone here says that

[foggy lotus]

really wth 😂 yea tbf it could be just technology gap

[cedar arrow]
