Hi everyone! Former Quebec City resident here.
I am an American who has been living in Quebec for 10+ years and I just finished my free guide to Quebec French. I've lived in both Quebec City and Montreal and have become fluent in French while living here, and a while back I decided to put everything I've learned about Quebec French into one place.
In the video I talk about the history of Quebec French, characteristics of the accent, common words, the famous sacres, anglicisms, and some tips about what helped me to learn.
If you're an anglophone in Quebec City or just coming to visit, I hope this video helps you!

Salut les Amis Québécois.
Dites moi vous qui connaissez votre pays. Dans un comparatif amical et factuel qu’elle raison donneriez vous à un français de venir habiter votre pays.
Quels sont les avantages du Québec face a la France ? Et les inconvénients bien entendu.

Sorry for the duplicate pics- it’s my first time posting pics
Anyway I wanted to illustrate the phenotype for a Quebecois/Scottish Anglo couple and family.
My mom is fully French Canadian. A picture of her mom as a teen is one of my collages
My dad is half Scottish Highlander and half Scottish Protestant fully from Nova Scotia
Although my sister has sandy blonde hair, she favors the French side in her features
I have black hair like my mom, but my facial features and body type favor my dad’s Scottish features
My brother is a mix
My sisters daughter is actually 75% French bc her dad is French too
My older daughter is half Jewish and looks exactly like her dad nothing like me
Anyway we’re American of half Quebecois heritage so I posted some pics
Salut tout le monde,
Je me demandais si certains d'entre vous connaissaient le groupe franco-ontarien CANO et leur reprise de « Mon Pays » (sur l'album Tous dans l'même bateau).
Pour moi, en tant que Franco-Ontarien, c'est une chanson qui me touche particulièrement, en plus, je suis née a Sturgeon Falls. La manière dont ils ont réinterprété ce classique vient vraiment chercher ce sentiment d'être coincé entre deux mondes, avec cette impression de voir notre pays et notre culture se faire détruire ou s'effacer peu à peu.
Je curieux de savoir : est-ce que ça vous parle? Vous en pensez quoi de cette chanson ou du groupe en général?
Je suis américain et j’apprends le français depuis 8 ans. C’est pas parfait mais je comprends plus que je parle et je peux comprendre le français d’Europe assez bien. Je regarde les infos du Québec et c’est pas trop difficile mais j’ai vu une vidéo québécoise pas formelle et je l’ai pas comprise du tout. Est-ce que vous pouvez me recommander des émissions à regarder pour mieux comprendre le français québécois parlé dans la rue?
Il y a des Français ou haïtien ici s’il vous plait ?
