She tried to speak in a neutral French accent at the beginning of the video, when they were doing pleasantries. But a minute in, her Quebec accent became more prominent.
@@AnastasiaLUVSU , non, c'est EUX AUTRES qui parlent la nôtre ! Le français s'est concrétisé au Canada/en Nouvelle France bien des années avant que la majorité des Français de France l'ont adopté comme langue maternelle.
@@cyndianderson7056 There's a huge difference between the Quebec accent and the France accent. However, this is the same language the speak, the interview er and the interviewée. I Know that Céline Dion speaks English with a notable French accent.
@@Michelle__. Lots of hours of listening, I watch a lot of French movies and series on Netflix, remember stay consistent it takes time for your brain to absorb the French sounds, bon courage!
It's not quite her mother tongue if you watch an interview when she's in Quebec and compare to this video you can hear the differences. There is a decent amount of difference between Quebec Fr and France Fr, such as terms, expressions, and accents, etc
I'm English, I understand enough to get the gist of this interview but I'm basically here to work on my French. I no longer learn it at school but hope to become bilingual someday. I would love to live in Quebec or France for a while to try to learn more
TieganSwift I took French for two years in high school. I wish I would have continued. I only got a word or two from the interviewer. Celine was talking a bit slower so I actually understood the meaning behind a few of her sentences. I have SO much respect for those who can learn another language!
Oui je sais! Si quelqu'un a besoin de savoir un truc ou de simplement apprendre notre magnifique langue je donnerai toujours le coup de pouce qu'il faut (tout en expliquant d'éviter certains traducteurs) mais de communiquer avec , dans ce cas-ci, un francophone! Rien de mieux qu'un nouvel adepte ^.^
PotatoChips BeatBattles Tout simplement, c'est l'art d'apprendre une langue étrangère. C'est pas forcément français... Moi je l'apprend depuis deux ans constamment mais je ne peux faire que conversation simple. Pour cette vidéo, j'avais besoin de (?) revoir la vidéo deux fois avant je l'ai pu comprendre complètement. (I'm sure I made an error in there somewhere, please excuse them!)

Pour cette vidéo, j'avais besoin de revoir la vidéo une deuxième fois avant que je puisse comprendre complètement. (Of course but that's the best I've ever seen from a non-francophone) You use a Bescherelle?
I've been studying French in my school for almost a year now and I thought I was pretty good at the language based on my exposure. Then came this interviewer and his lightning français. *Pulls hairs out*
+AFCATFE well 1 year is not very much.. so do not get disencouraged to continue. It is a good idea to watch french movies with subtitles in french. If you read what they say it is easier to understand and at the same time you get acquainted of their way of talking (les liaisons sont dangereuses...because all the words are pronounced like one word)
+isulanu20600 I have lived in France for 20 years and I confirm: watching french movies AND reading french subtitles at the same time is a very efficient way of improving your french (it also works for english). BECAUSE you read what they say AND you hear how it should be pronounced - of course you need a good basic knowledge before this method works. Watching movies is much more fun than learning vocabularies.
+AFCATFE Normal, studying with books in something but speaking a language in the real world is totally different. That's why watching TV or listening to radio shows is the best way to learn a language. Keep up the good work!
I agree. I am doing that in fact. French, I think, it is a beautiful language. I would like to practice it a lot more. Think we can text some times? I would appreciate it email me pls: genesiscmt16@gmail.com Merci beaucoup!
Je suis d'accord avec toi, Martin. Je comprends très bien quand une personne du Québec parle français . Je ne peux pas dire la même chose pour une personne de France .
***** Pessimiste???? J'avoue que je suis confus.... Je blagais un peu. J'ai quitté le Québec en 1980, peut-être que les Québécois disent "sur Paris" maintenant, mais je n'ai jamais entendu cette expression au Québec.... et je visite chaque année pour la pêche.
jceepf Franchement, je blague aussi alors que je viens de Calgary et je ne comprends pas bien l'accent québécois. Je suppose qu'il m'a fait plaisir d'écouter le ton de son accent.
Yeah, it's super weird. I hope the french people didn't ask her to do that because it's nuts. You shouldn't have to try to fake an accent just to be interviewed. Although she isn't completely putting on a European accent, just a bit.
being from Austria, where we speak German with a different accent than in Germany, I totally get it. accents are usually considered inferior to the standard version of a language, and a lot of people have internalised that so much that they will try to suppress their accent.
Yes, and she even sings in a more “international” sounding French, to have more of a wide French audience, I imagine. But I can still tell she’s not from France. And I’m neither French nor French-Canadian. Just a Francophile that’s been learning the language since about age 12, I’m 31 now. And I’ve become accustomed to accents from both areas through music, movies and native speakers.
Being from Paris, I can say that French (and mainly Parisians) like to make fun of other people's accent (which is a really bad habit in my opinion...) so it's logical that she tries to hide her Québécois accent when in France
j'adore le langue français. Il est très fascinant, n'est pas? Honnêtement, ça me rend heureux. Je ne sais pas s'il est même pour tout le monde, mais j'aime personellement!
Quand je vous lis avec vaut mdr son accent mes chers cousins Français VOUS N'AVEZ PAS LE MONOPOLE DE LA LANGUE ! aimeriez vous qu'ont vous prennent toujours à la blague ? ... sérieusement assez c assez. Sur ce , ont t'aimes Céline ! :)
+hugo de blois 100% d'accord avec toi (bien que je sois Français)... je trouve même que le Français Canadien est même parfois plus logique que le Français tout court.
^^ mais je le pense sincèrement : "Je m'en viens" (en écho à "Je m'en vais") , "l'internet" et non "Internet"...y'en a d'autres mais c'est celles qui me viennent pour l'instant. ^^
Les français semblent avoir un bloqué dans leur cerveau. Le français québécois est complètement compréhensible au moins qu'on parle à une personne âge de la campagne. Dans ce video je regarde deux francophone et je comprends les deux et je suis pas francophone. Les québécois parlent moins joual quand ils parlent aux étrangers. Personne ( naturellement ) ne parle comme on enseigne dans les livres de grammaires. Dans la vie quotidienne les gens parlent dans une version moins correcte ( "street language" ) de sa langue maternelle. C'est la réalité de tous les langues au monde. Les français disent contre les québécois les mêmes non-sens que les portugais contre les brésiliens.
Je suis d'accord avec toi. Bien que Française, je comprend parfaitement ce que Céline ou d'autres Québecois disent lorsque je regarde des vidéos sur RU-vid. Je n'ai malheureusement aucune connaissance venant du Québec là où j'habite et j'adore me "faire l'oreille" avec des extraits de shows comme ceux de Julie Snyder ou Guy A. Lepage, etc... Je ne comprend pas comment certains de mes compatriotes peuvent ne rien comprendre car en télé les Francophones de tout le Canada (il n'y a pas que le Québec qui parle Français) font généralement attention et évite le joual. Je ne comprendrais pas plus un Marseillais ou un Chti de France s'il parlait son patois local. Certains commentaires sont vraiment pathétiques.
Francophone (with a québécois accent) tend to “internationalize” their french (i feel) when speaking to other francophones (not having the same accent). Montréal has a diverse/dense population, i have the impression a lot of Montrealers with Queb accent do that (or try) for the sake of reducing the language barrier.
She also has toned it down due to exposure and doing lots of press around the world. She definitely can Quebec it up if she wants to and you can hear it come through in this interview as well. My wife can do this too. She slows it down for european french speakers and pronounces everything.Canadian french is lightning fast compared to euro french and the reason for that is because words are shortened...
Polentaccio I would tend to say québécois sounds quite "slow", maybe because of the very distinct, peculiar intonation (really a general view of course). In some parts of France, patois, ch'ti, and others dialects or even neutral french can be super-fast and almost incomprehensible for non-locals. Depending on personalities and places as well of course. Then you have the really slow french accents, like the Swiss and partly-Belgian ones (which in very different ways are so funny but oh so dear to us)
Oh boy, I would call it anything but slow. Are you sure you have enough experience with it? If anything, it is probably close in speed to some of the dialects or regional french you have described in other areas of France. It isn't a speed competition but you need to listen to her in french canadian interviews (which already are much cleaner than what you hear on the street) and then compare it to french canadian films that aren't dubbed or what you hear on the street in every day situations. All things said, she def does have a canadian accent when speaking french and she is controlling how much of that ends up in this interview. It comes through when she speeds up her responses though! But even at that, it is nothing compared to the french in my area! (outaouais: Gatineau/Hull or Franco Ontarian variants in this region)
I have more than once heard that a lot of French people are really stuck up and full of themselves and think any other accent than theirs is stupid. I'm sure it's obviously not true of everyone though :).
taking my DELF tomorrow. gotta practice haha. oops... je voulais dire plutôt: j'écris mon DELF demain alors il faut m'immerser dans la français pour les prochaines quelque heurs
Je ne comprends pas le Français. Je suis American. J'aime cooment les gens dans cet video parlant et communiqent entre eux. Oh my god! French is très difficile! I don't even think I said anything correctly!
Céline is so confortable in thé interview totaly diferent when she is in anothers countries., of course she is a profesional and she have to do thé her Best effort., but when she is interviewed in French languaje she looks so relax she is just herself.❤️
Well since I'm from Quebec I don't hear an accent 😂 But it's weird because she's trying to cover her real accent. When she's in Montreal, her accent is a lot worst
rsaaol I speak Spanish and Portuguese and know nothing and a half of French. I can understand bastante but then I just fall into a trance and the words just become sounds. Oh well. I only love French when Celine speaks it.
The first time I drove around Lafayette, LA, I heard a Cajun French radio station. It was such an odd accent b/c it was super American-sounding, flat and nasally, not like the soft, slurry France French. I wondered if other native French speakers would even understand.
Thanks God I learned English and French at school and with the help of myself , it will be so easy for me to understand , I'm 18 years old , I love these languages so much, I can speak those languages very well 😊
Je travaille, tu travaille, nous travaions, ils travaient... Nous avons pris, , Elles n'avon pas boivent un juice... Le français est tres difficile, pas-ce que je ne comprends pas beacoup de les vocabulaire, grammaire, et les verbes.
Laughing my ass off at celebrities' self importance (and everyone else's) We're just dust in the wind, and the children born tomorrow one day soon all will have headstones (most of them after miserable lives). Shame on everyone pulling souls who never asked for this into existence.
This is so weird. I can understand her here but not in other videos. I didn't know there were different tongues for the French language till just recently.
I did read one of her biographie, she is completely out out touch. She proude to said she give a$1000000 to each oh her brother and sister for a Christmas and what she got she deserves it. Just keep quiet. You just be lucky to find a rich old men who exploit you voice. Absolutely out of touch.
So I lived in France a while and speak and understand France French 😅 Not other types of French. I assume from the comments she's not speaking Canadian French which apparently has different vocab too not just the accent. I'd probably be confused. Like American English is very different to uk English. Bird dogging is one that is ridiculous. I work for an American company in the UK and some things they say need to be translated
true, i guess as a french speaker myself (second language) obviously i don't know first hand like a Parisan, but its not quite that extreme as UK vs the US, haha sorry if that didn't make much sense :3 but yeah, they can both definitely tell if they're speaking Quebec french vs french from France, but yeah to somebody like me having french as a second language, it isn't quite that extreme :)
Hey. I am currently learning french. Je parle un peu mais je veux apprendre plus. Any help? If so email me: genesiscmt16@gmail.com thanks! :) would appreciate it.
Oh wow. I speak French as a second language but why does it sound like she hesitates? Maybe because she's French Canadian and I'm not used to that French
A tip I got was to listen to French radio or TV in the background, but don't try to understand it. Just having it in the background helps you pick up the rhythms and sounds. It really helped me.
Quebec accent has the Nasal N when she speaks it's so clear she said Enfin ENGGFUNG. I'm not french i don't speak it fluently but know enough to understand it lol.
the. canadian french is not the same. from France.. just like the mexican spanish. is not the same from spain we can comunicate. with no problem.. .but there. is a huge difference..
Moi, je suis 🇮🇹 mais mon père était 🇫🇷 Je parle prèsque un parfait 🇫🇷 Et j'ai tout de suite entendu la différence de son 🇫🇷 Je la connaissais déja mais la différence est si claire La "R" de denier, ouhais /oui même si oui change en France aussi On peut dire que le 🇫🇷🇨🇦 est plus fort à écouter
