Thank you! Yes please put the English translation so we can understand each word you say or phrases you say. Thank you this means a lot to us, Filipinos here in Quebec trying to learn french

Vous êtes polyglotte! Français, english, portugues, espagnol, incroyable!!!!!

J'ai commencé à travailler au Tim Hortons et j'ai pris les "Allô" et "c'est correct" avec les clients. Les Québécois sont trés sympa.

Yes it’s good in English too. I love both in French and English. Thanks so much for your videos. You have a very great niche that you are filling. Bravo!🙏 et merci! Cait du Nouveau-Brunswick!

Yes! I'm very glad to hear you describe in both English and French! Much easier to learn. Thank you!

Moi personnellement, j’adore tes vidéos en français, surtout celles où tu parles du français du Québec et du Canada d’un point de vue plutôt linguistique. En tant qu’enseignante de français au Canada, je recommande souvent ces vidéos à mes étudiants. Pourtant, j’apprécie vraiment cette vidéo aussi parce que je peux la recommender à mes étudiants moins avancés 👍🏻

Thank you!!! This video was a perfect blend of vocabulary and historical/cultural context. I am really hoping for more 🤞🏻

Ok finally I get some clarification about tantôt also meaning the past! Thanks for that!

As an English and Spanish speaker, the spoken English helps me out a lot! Thank you for providing explanations and context with your teachings as well. Cheers, madame!

Thank you so much for this video in English! As someone of French Canadian heritage who lives in New England, I really want to learn Quebec French, but it's difficult to find resources that focus on it, so thank you for filling this gap! While I know some basics in French, I am not advanced enough to follow your French language videos yet, so this video was incredibly helpful for me. I hope to be able to understand and enjoy your fully French videos soon!

Merci! Thank you for the English video. I am Brazilian and my kid goes to French immersion school in MB. I am learning French to help him.

Nous avons besoin de gens qui invitent et rendent à l'aise les anglophones et les allophones dans ce pays et c'est tout à fait ce qui manque. Cette vidéo permet d'accroître une ouverture, merci Geneviève, ça fait du bien !

I'm an American who has moved to Quebec and need more of these videos. I'm currently taking lessons and have been for some time but it doesn't always stick. The stories you use to explain the language helps with memorization - it's also fascinating. I did not know there were two stems of french here. I also did not know the relationship between past maritime/nautical language and current day use. I can see why embarquer and démbarquer was used so much, especially by those living on l'île d'Orléans. Back in the day, those living on the island had to get in a barque to have their grain milled on the mainland. Imagine having to cross the St Laurent, back and forth weekly to get your grain milled, just so you can make bread! Time consuming and dangerous! I would love it if you made more anglais/français videos! Nice work.

Just discovered your english chanel. I grew up in Montreal but went to english school. I left many years ago without really speaking french( quebecois) fluently although understanding it very well.I'm now retired, so hit by nostalgia I'll be following you from now on. Merci

Thank youuuuu, Greate video.... French and english explanation works perfect to must of us (Quebec inmmigrants). I am in montreal Thank you, thank you for your videos

Allô Geneviève. Pour une canadienne, Québécoise qui vit aux USA pour plus de 30 ans , j'adore ces mots Québécois. C'a me rapelle mon enfance à Montréal qui me manque énormément. Merci pour continuer la culture Québécoise et pour toujours. Il me manque d'embarquer dans l'autobus pour aller au travail et débarquer... Enfin, vive le Québec je me souviens.🇨🇦🚆

Un saludo a Bolivia gracias 🙂👍

Partagé avec ma patronne basée au Nouveau-Mexique et qui se meurt d’apprendre quelques mots de québécois. On en veut plus!

Anglais est plus facile pour comprendre et apprendre la leçon, mais Français est bonne pour pratiquer. J’aime les deux. Merci!

Mi profe favorita! Love to hear u speaking in English, you're amazing. Hi, hola Salut from Montreal. (Raised & born in the sunny Cali, Col)

Je suis étudiant en francisation (MIFI) en mode virtuel. et je suis des cours à l’Alliance Française. On n’enseigne pas ça là-bas, on ne vous dit pas comment les Québécois parlent. Votre travail est très précieux pour nous. Merci beaucoup Les sous-titres Espagnol fonctionnent correct

Thanks you for you Geneviève 🎉❤🎉❤

Personnellement, je préférerais regarder tes vidéos exclusivement en français, mais c'est merveilleux d'avoir quelques trucs en anglais pour partager avec mes amis qui n'ont aucune raison pour apprendre le français (et encore moins le français québécois/canadien)! Allô depuis les É.-U.!

Loved this. Keep em coming. Merci

C’est assez bizarre de vous entendre parler de l’anglais, mais merci d’avoir fait ça! T’as une chaîne INCROYABLE pour apprendre le québécois, spécialement en ce climat. English is pretty much dominated by the British and us Americans, but anytime I see another accent represented, it makes me happy. Us and the British aren’t the only English speakers, et les français ne sont pas les seuls parleurs du français!

Hey thanks so much! Ma blonde is from Quebec so I ought to learn the language and culture

C'est comme ça qu'on donne le goût du français ! Bravo, si les gens apprenaient le français avec tes vidéos, ils trouveraient ça pas mal moins pénible!

Merci, excellent vidéo.

Great video in English explaining Quebec words! I'm from Norway and I've always been fascinated by pretty much everything that has to do with Canada, including its two languages English and French. I took some French classes in high school, partially because my aunt is from Switzerland and my mom can speak French fluently so they often have conversations in French together and I'm totally lost listening to them most of the time, save for the odd word here and there that I understand haha :) I've enjoyed your French videos with English subtitles and and you did really well wth this being your first video in English, I'm looking forward to more in both languages! :)

Elle parle Anglais.Elle est Super!

Thank you for your generosity

I’m moving to Quebec in about 2 months! I was born in Montreal but moved to Ontario when I was 5 I took French immersion in elementary school and as I am learning now I do have a good basis in which to grow from. Happy to have found your channel!

It's easy for me to follow in English and French. Thank you!

I really liked it, good idea

Merci! Je suis un nouvel apprenant et je trouve vos tutoriels délicieux!

Amazing content. Thank you!

Merci. Je l'aime bien. Surtout la référence de Les Colocs!

I like! Thank you so much for your encouraging words!

Thank you, loved your video! Make more please

I´ve been following you for 1 year and I was confused at the beginning of this video because I think it is the first time I hear you speak english! Personally I prefer to watch only videos in full French to force me to learn but I think making some videos in english can help you reach more audience that are interested in learning French and about the Quebec culture!

the acting scenes are great, specially because they feel genuine and it makes it easier to comprehend the nuance of different contexts. Thank you for this content!

Loved that you made a video in English! C'est fantastique!

Great channel to learn Quebecois. Thank you, finding your teaching very helpful MERCI!

Merci beaucoup Geneviève. C'était très utile (et amusant)! 🙂 I love your videos, either in English or French.

I like it...french and english translations please. Also luv the history lesson with texting examples.

Merci pour cette vidéo. C’est correct. J’aime ton accent. C’est intéressant de t’entendre parler l’anglais.

Votre videos sont fantastiques, alors merci beaucoup! Also, it's jarring to hear you speak english! I am a Canadian learning french (with a long way to go), and there are not a lot of content creators specialising in teaching Quebec french. Your channel is helpful, challenging, et vraiment gratifiant quand je peux te comprendre. A little english to help with understanding context is awesome! Your explanation of embarquer/débarquer was great; same for tantôt & pantoute.

Moi, j’ai un niveau intermédiaire en français donc je préfère les capsules en français, mais j’ai aussi profité de ce capsule-ci. Tes explications en anglais sont supers et j’ai beaucoup appris. Bravo!

Thanks. I prefer everything in French, and with subtitles no need for English. But I'm sure beginners will prefer.

Excellent! (Of course, I do know all of the expressions and words, as I'm from Montréal). Your English is very very good! I can imagine many English speakers will benefit greatly from such video content. Keep it up!

Thank you very much for the English too !

Thank you so much I’m following yy

Merciiiii Beaucoup!!!

Yes very helpful meeci.

Ça fait un an que je t'ai découvert, et j'aime beaucoup tes vidéos. J'ai regardé celui-ci jusqu'au bout avant de réaliser que tout tes autres sont exclusivement en français! Je n'avais jamais remarqué ton accent! Duhhhh! Continue, soit dans la langue qui te convient le mieux!

This was fun to watch! I love the Quebec French. I'm trying to learn more french through a program offered at my workplace here in Ontario.

Hey, thank you for poutine... putting, sorry ! Belgium (and Switzerland) on the map for English speakers ! ;-)

Excellent contenu! Je vais le partager avec des amis anglophones

Great fun. Du bon québecois!

Thank you very much. Of course I would like to see your videos in english. It would help me to learn.

Merci pour le contenu en anglais! Je me rappelle quand j'étais à Maroc et le chauffeur d'autobus m'a dit . Je ne me suis pas rendu compte que le verbe et utilisé uniquement au Canada dans ce contexte

That was really cool! I enjoy your videos in French, but also really enjoyed this one in English. I can share it with my friends who are curious about French but don't speak any.

Wow, après longue temps c’est la première fois que je t’entends parler en anglais! C’est très jolie! Mais j’aime mieux écouter tes capsules en français pour la pratique que cela me donne. Merci!

I'm really happy you chose to explain in English, in the past I've looked at some of your vids and I just get lost, so Thank you!

Un moment! C’est la première fois que je vous voyez parler en anglais!

Merci je te suive.pour appendre francais mais j'aime aussi l'anglais. J'ai acheté ton livre en ebook c:est très bon

C'est chouette cette formule Gen....

j'adore ta prononciation d'anglais comme français , c'est coooool , j'ai aimé bien ta vidéo , tu es unique, Bravoooooooooooo

J’aime beaucoup! Bravo Genevieve! A très vite en français ou en anglais :)

I'm bilingual and you've really explained the words very, very well. Bravo.

This is great! Ma langue française a besoin d'amélioration mais j'ai pas le niveau pour comprendre tout. So this is truly helpful.

J'ai aime cette video. Mon niveau est debutant avance, avec les soutitres je peux avoir l'anglais et le francais !!!

Thank You Genevieve for your vidéo again!! :D hihi!! i am now able to speak french!!! :P

Pretty similar to New-Brunswick French! Except for Tantot, we would say "Ajeuve" for "earlier today", and "Bétôt" for "later today" (probably specific to the Chia/Acadian dialect).

Buen sur! Give us more with French and English subtitles. Good work!

Thank you so much for your videos! I am living in Quebec (in a small village on le fleuve) and struggle to learn this quebecois french, it is very different than the high school french we were taught. I do watch content mostly en francais, but having some english instruction is also very helpful. Merci, encore!

Wonderful idea. At my age and living in Toronto, I have no immediate need to learn French but I always felt I should acquire some proficiency in the language of Quebec. In my days, growing up in Europe anyone planning a trip abroad which in Europe often means a couple of hour drive, would try to learn at least some basic phrases in the local language. It was meant to be polite and show respect for the local culture. This was before the “all inclusive” tourism and often involved hiking through the countryside. I have subscribed to your channel and hope to learn Quebec French instead of the European version which seems to dominate all around. I am very likely to travel to Quebec or New Brunswick while there’s a fat chance I will be exploring the Lazure Coast anytime soon. So, thank you for creating this channel for people like me. I have to finally realize my long delayed resolution.

Je suis en train d'apprendre la langue francais. Vos videos aide-moi beaucoup. C'est la premiere fois que j'ai entendu tu parles en anglais. C'est une bonne idee mais j'espere que tu vas continuer avec les videos tout en francais aussi. Je me demande si tu as quelque trucs pour les accents sur une ordinateur. Bon travail avec la chaine!

Good JoB

I definitely prefer videos in French because it is helpful to hear the language you're learning. But some videos in English is understandable, especially for more beginner topics.

I’m just learning like it

You speak really good English ❤

Still working on my CBC language evaluation, and these videos help immensely. The government language classes teach metropolitan French, which is cool if you want to sound like a Parisian lawyer when you're partying up and down St. Catherine St.

Bonjour Genviève! Thank you for all your wonderful content! I've been watching your capsules for years! Question: I want to learn more and you offer so many resources, but I don't know where to start? Would it be best to subscribe to your Patreon first? Do you have more online content and lessons? Merci!

Yes please.

Trés bonne ! Je voudrai des vidéos "in slow" Canadien français s'il vous plaît 😊 Merci beaucoup !

Merci pour la vidéo! Je préfère t’écouter parler en français, j’apprends plus!

Habitant en Montreal tous les francophones switchent les langues. Ce me fait plus difficile d’apprendre français . Moi, parce que je comprends comment facile il est de cacher en dernier anglais et en fin l’apprendre plus lentement, je me préfère les vidéos sans anglais. Si je l’ai besoin, je peut lire les subtitles. Merci pour tes videos!!! J’espère que je t’ai trouvée dix années avant ça.

"allo" is usually "hello" here in Louisiana with final o not diphthongized, of course, but I do remember hearing once as a child an aspirated "hallo", but never since. "correc" used similarly here where final consonant clusters are avoided: trisse (or trésse) = triste, Novemme = Novembre, resse = reste, régisse (or régésse) = régistre (as in a "cash register", and a "registration book"), "edmane" (present tense of "edmander", 'to ask'), however, reverts to a final consonant cluster before the object pronoun "y" when used as an imperative: Edmande y, "Ask him (her)", the adjacent y vowel providing an easement that prevents end clustering. "tantot" was sparingly used by the elderly but is rare now. "pantoute" is unknown to me. "embarquer " and "débarquer" are similarly used here, and its noun "embarcation" means 'vehicle' = car, carriage, train, not watercraft.

Please, keep the English format for some of your videos. I have a hard time with the speaking rate due in part to partial hearing loss, but CC compensates. I really enjoy the comparisons to other regions and the etymologically based information. Merci.

Tu parles super bien en anglais!

That was fun. I'm reading "Le Francais au Quebec et en Amerique du Nord" and, while I don't get all the International Phonetic characters, I get enough to hear my parents' voices (long gone).

Please do more in English with french! I am still learning and can only find one other channel that’s still posting in this way.

En France on parle aussi d'"embarquer" et d'"embarquement" pour les avions.

Merci - Je suis Anglaise - et, toujours souhaiter a ameliorer mon francais. Aussi, j'ai vieu et difficile a entendre quand mes amies Quebecois parle vite.

Very helpful, context and examples of use of words, easier to understand. 😊 merci!

My French is already good enough but yeah, I do think this'll be useful If I remember correctly, RU-vid finally rolled out their feature that allows you to have multiple audio tracks a while back, meaning if you had the energy/time to record your videos in English and French, you could have them on the same video with the viewer able to choose

Ah bravo Geneviève il en faudrait plein comme toi et en 10 ans tout le continent nord américain parlera le français là pour le coup ce serait correc' 😅

Allo Madame your first video is inspiring. I live in Calgary and learning french which is Parisian french, Can i be able to communicate with the locals in Quebec. Merci Vikas
