This was my grandma. She married a Quebecois man who was ESL and raised his french kids from a previous marriage all while refusing to ever utter a single syllable in their language. You could ask her anything in french and she would clearly understand and respond in english. She spent sixty years living with and loving french speakers but she never slipped, not even a bonjour. She also refused to ever say why. We waited until my grandfather passed to bury her ashes because we were certain if we left her alone at the family plot in rural Quebec she would find a way to make us regret it.
Understandable. Quebecois is to French what vomit is to food.
There are plenty of dialects in france similar to or worse than Quebecois. Maybe I’m biased, but to me parisian french is the one that sounds bad. In the end it was the accent of the nobility, hence why it sounds so pompous, while Quebecois was the accent of the commoners.
What's the point of speaking French unless it's to sound pompous? There already IS language for the common people, it's called English, everyone knows that.
It will always feel so weird to me watching a movie in French french, the villain trying to sound badass or evil but then says something in the parisian accent. It fails everytime, it basically sounds funny. Hell even their insults sound funny for some reason, not in their choice of words but in the delivery.
They could easily fix that by having them speak Quebecois. Sounds more sinister than German IMO.
