As a French person, I absolutely don't mind when a foreigner tries to have a conversation in French, makes mistakes, asks for me to repeat or explain something. It very little breaks the flow of the overall conversation and we are happy to help :)
:))
My experience -- limited, admittedly -- is the opposite. Many French people I encounter immediately speak to you in English even if you speak French and cut off your efforts. Now, to be fair, in smaller towns that is not the case. I lived in the Provence area for 6 months and almost everyone has been helpful.
@@jeremysantos7661 maybe after so many "fReNCh PeOpLE cAnt SpEAK EnGlish", they've had enough and thought to themselves "so, is it English what you want? Then you got it!"
Hmmm. I live in Saskatchewan and had my children go to school to graduate as bilingual. Every time my children have met a person from Quebec they were thrilled to find someone they could use their french on. Only to be belittled on how bad their french was, told they spoke as a child might, etc. That's when I gave up. Do yourself a favor, don't put your kids in immersion.
RnRose192 That is great and it was my experience when I visited France. Here in Canada the Quebecois will make fun of you and start talking to you in English. Jerks.
Keanu is beautiful in any language.
:))
Yeah,he is breathtaking in any language!
Ohhhh yes!
Bradley Cooper is beautiful in any language as well!
BC is a trash panda
Wow this lady is so professional; her comments so constructive.
aw thanks it means a lot :)
I love your non judgemental attitude and positivity towards non native speakers! As someone who doesn't speak French perfectly, I'm always conscious of making mistakes. This is reassuring.
Thank you! 😃 your comment means a lot because you totally got what I was going for and what my idea was behind these types of videos! So glad to hear that I got my message across and that it was helpful to you :))
@@Street_French Merci! And keep up the great work!
@@Street_French I teach French In US (au collège et au lycée) and have shared your website with my students. I plan to show some examples like this one where you comment on all the GOOD things they do to try to get point across or to ask for clarification :) It's ALL about COMMUNICATION, which is why I appreciate what you and Charlie are doing. I studied in Paris my first year of college and ended up majoring in French and became a teacher. I do not expect perfection from my students most of the time but hope to instill a love of the language, people and culture :) Your videos certainly help! Merci mille fois :)
@@ceciliaallen5441 Oh wow merci beaucoup! Thanks for sharing and glad to read that you get what we are about :)
Bradley expresses himself better but Keanu seems to understand better. The main thing though is to try. Cheers;
yeah totally agree :)
Pierre Doe Bradly Cooper a étudié à Aix en Provence. C’est peut-être plus l’accent qu ‘attendent les français.
I can understand French near fluently, but I can't speak it to save my life so i know what that's like.
@@shaungordon9737 Several of my friends and coworkers are in the same boat. They were taught French in Canadian high schools but their schools neglected teaching them conversational skills and they've felt too embarrassed to speak (generally saying they can't speak it to save their life). Often, they're far better at getting across their meaning than they realize but they are convinced that they sound like rubbish.
@@paranoidrodent my pronunciation isn't bad (it's not great either), but I always stumble with the sentence structure and using the right words. It's frustrating
Who else is here jus because keanu reeves is in this vedio.. 😅
haha so many people ! ^^
A friend of mine from university first started learning French when he was a little boy. He grew up in a small Texas town where there was no one to practice speaking French with, so he decided to call Air France pretending to make travel arrangements. The agents quickly saw through the ruse, but were so charmed by his efforts that they talked to him a little bit!
ow that's so cool !! he's pretty creative :))
He was that determined, eh? Good for him!
TexasGirlinVA Aww quelle jolie histoire!
@@Street_French Au fait dites-moi si en France, on utilise l'expression "appeler malade" comme en anglais les gens disent "to call sick"
@@jordanabeaulieu2530 non on ne dit pas ça. on dit "faire un arrêt maladie" pour les choses plus grave
Keanu learned French in the Toronto school system, where french classes are mandatory. Canadian French is Quebecois, which is a little bit different than European French.
ah ok I didn't know that^^ but also he doesn't have a quebecois accent at all
@@Street_French Keanu Reeves grew up in Toronto. The French taught in the Province of Ontario is not necessarily Quebecois. Many French teachers there are Anglophones who learned French, thus they speak with a more neutral accent. My French teachers were from diverse backgrounds: one was Portuguese, another was French/Lebanese, and one was Quebecois. I believe Bradley Cooper spent a college semester in Aix-en-Provence. That's why his pronunciation and fluidity of speech is so good. Here's a better French interview with cooper: czcams.com/video/2_v6HztMeU4/video.html
@@ctalcantara1700 Nice! thanks for sharing that with us
Kenu is canadian
I'm in Manitoba and we had to take it too...In Canada we have to learn as it one of our official languages...some schools give us the option to stop learning at grade 7
As a French person I always appreciate when someone tries their best to speak. No matter how and if it's broken. It's the fun part of it. Keanu Reeves so adorable and cute accent ❤️ very impressed with Bradley Cooper with his French 👍
yeah it's true, I totally agree :))
Bradley is def more fluid when speaking French. But I applause to both for actually being able to speak and overall communicate in the language that is other than English.
agree! :))
Very interesting video. First time I heard Keanu speak French ...sounded so cute ....lol...
ah cool glad you liked it :)

Bradley Cooper spent a year in France as an exchange student , that is why he can speak it somewhat fluently .
ah cool :)
Actually Cooper took french classes at georgetown university and spent 6 months in France
It takes more than a year in order to speak fluent French especially if you come from an English speaking country .... it takes approx 3 years to speak it fluently
@@madeleinedeburgh6703 Not necessarily. It depends on a person's ability and facility to learn languages. I have a friend (Anglo-American) who picks up languages very easily - he's a natural linguist. He speaks French, Spanish and Italian fluently (not his main fields of study) and has a pretty good working knowledge of German and Portuguese as well.
you are referring to your's friend's experience which is absurd how old are you????? 8 or 10 years old .... the absurdity of your comment is beyond question we are talking about large percents of people..... similarities etc... who cares about your friend WTF is wrong with you apart from being stupid ... ..
First off... Keanu is BEAUTIFUL, so he automatically wins
true :)
Bradley is also beautiful!
Keanu is the most handsome but Bradley speaks french much better
:)
johnDomain then go wash your ears 👂
Non !! Bradley is the hottest
Virgil Dimitrion your opinion not mine hahaha
*more* not *most*--when comparing two items, we use *more*
Great video. Thanks. I just had the opportunity last week to practice my French in conversation with someone from France and she was so kind. This video took me back to that and I really enjoyed it. Merci beaucoup.
De rien :)
I like how you talked about the little errors with a very encouraging tone. I wish I had a teacher like you when I went to a French cooking school with an interpreter. When somebody did something wrong (or right but a bit too slowly) our teacher would just shout. “Zero!!!!” - that’s the French word I learnt since Day 1 😂 but your clip makes me feel like studying French :) Maybe it’s time to forget about the “Zero!!!!”s and give it a try
ow yeah I guess cooking schools and the whole culinary world seems quite harsh at time :/
glad you'd felt encouraged! find friends to speak French with who'll encourage you like that too ^^
The most important thing in learning a language is not being afraid to suck at it for a while, and keep throwing yourself into the pool.
so true! :))
And as she points out in the video, you can use the words you DO know to say something, rather than get stuck trying to think of words you DON'T know.
@@JoshuaTanzer Yes, I got very good at talking around unknown words in Turkish. Sometimes conversation went like a round of “Password,” but in the end, you learn the word. Maybe. :-)
My mom spoke Québécois French in the home and I remember studying Parisian French in school and had to basically start from scratch. I was blessed to have been exposed to both, however. I now visit Montmartre as often as I can afford to and upon arrival I can barely give my address to the Uber driver. But on return, I can chat politics! Proof that once something is truly learned, it’s there when you summon it up again.
ah so interesting :)
Keanu's French is actually charming. French is not the easiest thing to say, though Keanu knows the word meaning. He lived in Canada before. 😊😍
:):)
I don’t have anyone to practice French with. So i programmed my entire phone in French and talk to myself sometimes 😭
I'm in the same boat as u
Yves Montand - Couple weeks ago, someone had to use my phone and they couldn’t figure it out 😂
ah great idea!
also check out our facebook group, there's some french people on there and a lot of people learning french like you

I'd like to learn to speak english , if you want to learn me i can learn you french lol and if anybody here is intersted ;)
Just found the page! I've been studying French on and off for the last 20 years. Definitely want to continually practice. Your calm demeanor is so refreshing to see in a teacher. I wish I had a teacher like you!
ow cool I'm glad you like our videos and my "vibe" haha ^^
What a kind person to guide viewers into the intricate beauty of the French language and culture; very lovely energy!
thank you :)
Bradley Cooper did an student exchange in university and learned French in France with a family. He was immersed in it for a short period of time. Keanu Reaves probably learned French in Toronto as it is mandatory to learn French in grade 4 to grade 9.
ah cool :)
I’m an Anglophone from Québec and went to school all in French. I like hearing your analysis on how people speak and process their thoughts.
ugh ur voice is SO soothing and ur channel has seriously saved me,, thank you so much 😭🥺 my school is kinda poor and we don’t have enough teachers to teach french anymore so i have to take it onliNEEEE 😭😭
aw thanks it means a lot that you enjoy what we do :)
This was great! I didn’t know either of these guys speak French. It’s really refreshing to get your perspective.
I've been recently trying to learn French, and your videos help me so much, thank you for this type of content!
Aw glad you like what we do :)
Merci vous avez l’air très sympathique !!!! Bonne continuation !!!!
:)
This was interesting! Bradley's flow like you said is very impressive 😁
:)
You are a superb teacher! I love your positive approach and encouraging words on learning and speaking French. Merci Bien!
ah cool happy to hear that, thank you :)
Just a Portuguese language learner passing through. I love the process of learning a language and I’m a fan of Keanu and Bradley Cooper so I was curious. I love the channel and your analysis of the speakers.
ah I'm glad :)
Keanu may not be better speaking French but he is just more beautiful period !!!!
ah :)
Keanu is what person should be in terms of behaving and he is handsome ... the other one is just a little arrogant thinks so high of himself
Hey Connie I bump into you again. I see you at every single Keanu video on CZcams it's amazing I got used to your profile pic it's easy to recognize Keanu's biggest female fan now
Definitely
Why are you comparing looks like- stop
Two “faux amis” in either direction:
To attend = Assister
To assist = Aider, soutenir, appuyer
yeah true :))
Thanks for doing this video. Your commentary is so helpful.
ah thanks, glad you enjoy it :):)
For English speakers the tenses and conjugations are always what gives us away for Romance languages.
I study Spanish but as I understand it French is rather similar with specific conjugations for every pronoun.
English conjugations are super simple. They barley change, sometimes not at all or just an “ed” or “s”. So when trying to speak a Romance language we end up not conjugating at all or just using one conjugation over and over even if it’s wrong (without realizing).
ah interesting :)
Yes English conjugations are easier if 40 millions of Mexicans in US can speak English it must be easier
@@madeleinedeburgh6703 My First language is Spanish, not from Mexico, and No, English is not easy to learn, pronunciation is difficult sometimes, I had to learn because I live in the states.
It would've been easier to lear Italian or Portuguese since they're romance languages, similar to spanish.
How many languages do you speak?
I rather w
Bonjour, I have just found this site and thank you, you made me smile.
If you make the effort (and show respect) by using French, it will be appreciated. I am an Irish Expat who retired to France some years ago. I stopped learning French at school when I was 15 years old (50 years ago) but it is surprising what you can remember (a glass of wine does help).
The proof for me was so obvious when a few years ago I visited a local business to arrange for some work needed on my car. I spoke in my best French (not the best French) to the proprietor and he replied in English. While waiting in the shop, two English Expats came in and made no attempt to speak French, the proprietor made no attempt to speak English when he replied.
C’est la vie, c’est vrai.
Romeo Bravo
Haha, I often tell English speakers that the best way to get a French person to speak English is to speak French ;-)
Thanks so much for this. Love the idea to keep trying no matter what.
de rien :)
When you thought that these men couldn't get anymore perfect.
haha ^^
I was forgetting French over the years. I always spoke in Spanish to my kids, but we always sang a lot of French songs. Now I speak to them in French and Spanish. It’s actually helping me a lot because it makes me think of ways of saying everyday things to them in French. Also I’m finding out they understand quite a bit now due to repetition of phrases and words so it’s benefiting myself and my children. Might be a useful approach for anyone with young children. I’ve regained a lot of my French grammar thanks to this approach.
ow so interesting :)
After seeing this video you make me feel like it's ok to make mistakes. Your students are very lucky.
''C'est en tombant que l'on apprend à marcher''
Bonjour! This video was really good! I used to study french when I was a student and I decided to start again the past few months. I remember a lot of things from Grammar. But when it comes to speaking, I feel it's more difficult than writing... 🙂
That's great! ah yeah for speaking it's probably because you spent more time reading and writting than actually practicing speaking. so that's ok you just need to focus on that a bit more ☺☺
J'ai adoré cette vidéo, merci. Je me sens bien encouragé à essayer de parler mieux et plus. J'aimais bien ton style et ton esprit gentil ! :)
ow cool je suis contente ! Bon courage! Amuse-toi bien avec le français :)
Thank you ! I need to just relax a bit more and just talk and ask for people to repeat themselves if I don’t understand.... the only reason I don’t ask all the time is because lately by the time I’m getting ready to my brain has processed the question lol 😂 but it’s a good reminder... also I like the way Bradley would repeat back what he thought they asked/said before answering to see if he understood them correctly... Keanu will only struggle with the accent but he seems to try really hard to understand and create his sentences correctly... I love this video ... so encouraging!
Ah nice! Yeah it's all about staying calm :)
Keanu speaks French?! Now I'm the one saying "Whoa."
haha yeah he's breathtaking :)
I love your videos. You are so encouraging and never put people down.
ah thanks :)
Ta vidéo m’a tellement plu, car j’aime comment tu as analysé des aspects de leur production des mots parlés. Merci beaucoup. Cela m’a aidé à comprendre que chacun a ses propres difficultés ou faiblesses en parlant le français. À bientôt...🙏
ah cool merci :)
Hola
Thank you. Great idea for a video. My Mom was French Canadian and stuck English into her sentences all the time. As in de hamburger.
ah interesting :)
Thank you for doing a video with Keanu 🤗
no problem!
I've seen those clips before but it was interesting to watch a native french speaker react to them :)
ah cool glad you liked it :)
@@Street_French I do like your video's alot :)
Another fantastic video. I think it's very common to be able to read and understand a language before being able to speak it. I love your advice. There is no substitute for actually meeting a native speaker who is willing to talk with you and also help correct your mistakes. Speaking is a totally different animal. It takes time, but you WILL get there. Total immersion is obviously the best, then you are forced to make yourself understood. You learn quickly how to say "I'm sorry, I didn't understand" or "can you repeat that a bit slower, please." Also when I lived in Paris and my level was getting better, if I didn't know the vocabulary word for something, I would just start describing it. It's shape, color, smell, whatever it took for the person to understand what I meant, and then they would provide me with the missing word. I would never forget it after that!
ow what an amazing comment thank you for sharing :) we couldn't agree more with everything you said !
Keanu speaks French the way I do.
:)
You are wonderful, natural teacher.
Merci!
I love you're balanced reviewing style, putting communitcation ahead of perfection but higligthing some interesting idiosyncrasies.J'aimerais savoir si les accents quebeous sont différents? Thanks!
ah cool glad you like it :) and yeah Quebecois is quite different ! but we can kind of understand each other ^^
I just came across your videos and found them very helpful! Merci!
ow great! so glad to help!!
Maybe I've come across your channel a bit late but boy am I glad !!
You are very motivating!! Unlike my French teacher here! Ugh ! Thankyou so much I feel refreshed with new energy to learn the language ! 💓💜
ow no it's not too late :) I'm glad you're enjoying our content! it means a lot :):)
@@Street_French thanks a ton! I've gone through almost all your videos now. You're doing a wonderful job! Look forward to more !!! 💓
@@Uvvn27 ow thank you! it means a lot :))
Keanu is just reading a card while Bradley genuinely speaks French.
yeah true!
Please do a similar video of Timothee Chalamet speaking French.
ah good idea!
@@Street_French Watching THE KING recently I was pleasantly surprised by his conversation with the actress who plays Catherine of France. His pronounciations are very good.
@@Street_French Yes, you should review The King. They had the actor who could speak French (Timothee) play a British king and the actor who couldn't (Pattinson) play a French Dauphin ... who quickly suggests they should speak English, lol.
I love that you suggested finding groups for working on grammar. It is hard for me in French. At my university the higher up professors were very discouraged by my taking advice classes for my degree program because I didn’t get the grammar but spoke it like Cooper and they wanted me to quit. But I didn’t listen 🤗 I passed with a C + because of that but they never encourage outside sources. I am glad she did!
Oh I'm sorry to hear that! Your professors sound awful!! Keep it up, we believe in you :)
@@Street_French I found out duelingo has helped with the grammar but I still have no one speak it but I am going to check out your group in my down time.
Ce que vous faites ici c'est tout à fait excellent du point de vue linguistique et extrêmement motivant pour l'apprenant. Vous avez une manière de présenter vos opinions et conseils qui révèle le respect que vous ressentez pour chaque individu qui apparaît dans les videos que vous commentez. Il n'est point surprenant que vous ayez tant de vues. Je suis preneur!
ow merci pour ce commentaire :)
@@Street_French Il vient du coeur! It's so rare to find channels like yours that are really geared towards more advanced learners and that really provide well-founded and well-presented native speaker intuitions. I am certain that your channel is proving to be a gold mine for loads of French speakers who really wish to improve. Chapeau!
@@DCKiraly ow merci :)) it means a lot ! we do our best ! and we enjoy sharing how we speak. nothing but the truth haha it's really depressing for us to meet people who've been learning French for years and still can't quite use the language.
Bradley may speak better but I would rather hear Keanu speak any day of the week ❤️
ah :))
I do not care if one speaks better or not, but being of french language someone that takes the time to learn any other than their own is grand to me.
totally agree :))
Awesome video. Thank you for sharing. :)
:))
This video was very fun and encouraging! Thank you! I only wish to find here in my city, a French speaker to practice my French! ^^
ah yeah but if you can't you can look online! and we have a facebook group called "Streetfrench.org conversation group" where people are looking for language partners^^
You have such a calm and kind energy. It made me subscribe immediately.
ow that's very nice, thank you so much :)
I'd rather choose Keanu, because he's kind, generous, and so grounded. Dunno about the other guy.
:))
I like the way you teach us / explain. Merci Beacoup 🙏
Glad you enjoy it! :))
I clicked for Keanu! but nice video and I love the way you speak so calmly. Oui, made me want to pick up French again !
ah cool thanks :)
I'm studying Spanish, but you've made me want to learn French now. Thank you for your video?
haha ah glad to hear that :) I'm sure you could do both^^
Felicidades, el idioma español es muy bonito.
Interesting video. Thank you. Your english is very soothing to the ear. I'm learning french, but i'm so afraid to make mistakes in my workplace in front of my colleagues, so i keep speaking english, which isn't helping!
Oh go for it! It's the only way you'll get better :)
I agree. We ALL make mistakes. Even native French speakers. You will be surprised how quickly you will learn if you just make the best effort you can. Also don't be embarrassed to be corrected. In no time you will realize just how far you have come!
I will try to speak more often than before in my workplace. My listening has been improved greatly in recent months, i am also aware about intermediate level grammer, its just i’m always translating sentences from english in my head. I’ll keep speaking. Thanks!
@@sabbirhasan6934 Yeah keep it up! It's okay to make mistakes :)
Don’t be shy, we love when people make the effort 🙂 and we are always happy to help when you struggle
Could you guys make a video on the English phrases used often in French? Lately I've heard "faire qq chose au feeling", "cosy" or "faire un call". It's so interesting because on one hand you have the académie française guarding the purity with "ordinateur" etc and on the other all those expressions!
ah yeah great idea :)
I use to live in France and I love French, last ten years I spoke just English so sadly French and Spanish I lost but discovered Chinese and Japanese, I love your video, I subscribed
oh cool :)))
J'adore le fait que... oups, I started in French haha ;-) I adore the fact that she is not judging the accent or even the verbs that are not exactly right. As she said... they are speaking French and in itself, it is a HUGE achievement. It is my birth language and it is NOT an easy language to learn. I feel priviledge to already have learned it as a kid... and I am so so happy to see many Canadian here saying they learned it in school and still remember it a bit... :) J'ai toujours dit... apprendre une deuxième langue, c'est un pas pour connaitre l'autre, une autre culture. Bravo!!! A vous et a Keanu et Bradley!!! :D
ah thank you for this comment, it means a lot :) and yeah I totally agree with you :))
I’m quebecois and some of the corrections you’re making might be valid to European French but a lot of them are just how we talk in Quebec.
ok cool good to know. yeah I teach the French that I speak, and that people speak around me, the French I know ultimately. I wouldn't dare to talk for people from Quebec as I've never even stepped foot in Canada you know haha ^^
Bradley lived in Aix-en-Provence as a student. Your videos are great.
Ah cool, thanks!
I want desperately to learn and speak French fluently. I would really love to move to France and immerse myself in the beautiful language and culture. I wish I was born there!
Okay someone tell me why even though Keanu's french wasn't that good i enjoyed him talking so much.
haha yeah exactly :)
Keanu Reeves is Canadian. French is our 2nd language. Which is why he sounds like that.
ah ok ^^
I like you and your videos. You look like very detail oriented and good person.
The late actress Audrey Hepburn spoke French charmingly. She had an accent but it was charming. There's an interview here on CZcams. I love your videos!
aw great idea! I really have to check her French out :))
And thanks, glad you enjoy what we do^^
She was from Belgium, no wonder she could speak French 😉
Oh mon Dieu. I'm so grateful to have lived 10 years at Belgium I got fluent French. Alors on dirais que Bradley parle mieu, et c'est une surprise de entendre keanu en fraincais dis donc il est pas mal le mec. Thumbs up a tous les francais je vous aime
ah cool :)
Bradley Cooper parle couramment français car il a passé une partie de son enfance à Neuchâtel, en Suisse, puis à Aix-en-Provence au cours d'un échange scolaire de 6 mois durant ses études de lettres à l'université.
ah cool :)
The single fact that they don't go "I don't need another language, I already speak English" is commendable in itself !
Wow you are so encouraging .... I wanna learn French now
ah thanks :) I try to be and yeah join the fun if you'd like :)
@SuperDrew85
the 7 Québécois accents are so different to me, an anglophone Ontarian. It’s so easy to understand around La Ville de Quebec but very tricky in the Outaouais near ottawa. I cannot follow a conversation in the east end of Montreal!
ah cool :)
Bonjour, ton analyse est impressionnante et bienveillante. Super intéressant même pour un français :)
ah cool contente que ça plaise :)
StreetFrench.org Oui. Tu devrais faire une chaîne sur laquelle tu donnes des cours d’anglais. Juste une idée ;-)
Several times in my life I've had to try to dredge up my school French and have been surprised by how my brain will bring it up in an emergency! Was fortunate to start French in 4th grade, and my teacher was une Francaise, une Parisienne. She married an American after the war (I'm in my 60's). Placed out of French I in high school, but took II, III, and IV. Placed out of the language requirement in college but took a French review for reading in grad school. But 30 years later, when working at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, I used my French at least 3 time--with a man from one of the French-speaking African countries, with someone looking for an employee from France, and with a Brazilian woman who didn't know English but did know French. I was shy as a kid, so I never spoke enough in class, but when I need to give information to others, somehow I remember enough to help. Recently I was watching a video of Japanese people with cats. I must have read the captions for about a minute before I realized they were in French, not English. It really helps to have put all that in your brain when you were a kid. Definitely not fluent in speech, but I can read fairly well and, if I practice, my accent is still pretty good. Unfortunately, my accent in both French and Italian is better than my actual knowledge of the grammar, vocabulary and idioms. Sigh...
aw that's great! :))
Voici donc une autre vidéo que je vais montrer en classe! C’est de très bon conseil!!
ah super ☺☺
Make one for Freddy Highmore (Bates Motel), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (500 days of Summer) Tom Hiddleston (Loki)... great video!
ow cool thanks for the suggestions I'll look into it :)
Keanu is perfection 🥰
haha :)
I started learning french using Oxford's Take off in French and u sound a lot like the female speaker from the audio recordings. I could listen to u speaking for days. 😻😻 love ur channel
ah that's funny^^
This video was so helpful.
oh cool glad to hear that :)
As long as I speak both languages indifferently, IMHO, they may be struggling but the effort is noticeable.
yeah it's true!
The question was ask in french-canadian, hens "control freak".
The person asking did not sound french canadian
@@superdrew8564 My bad, too much of E in is sentence an a weird way to say control freak.
ah ok ^^
Hence
when living in montreal and learning french i read papillon, with its parisian street vocabulary that could not be found in any of my dictionaries. i would ask people "qu'est-ce que ca veut dire -- 'mec', 'megot'?" etc. my quebecois acquaintances didn't know either but a friend at the french consulate was able to help (un mec is a fellow, un megot is a cigarette butt). it was a great way to start a conversation, and people loved being asked.
ah cool thanks for sharing :)
merci a vous! c’est très intéressant!
de rien :)) on est content que ça vous plaît!
Keanu wins hands down, Bradley sounds Quebecois. I lived in Toronto and through work I spoke with people from both French speaking provinces, so I was able to tell the difference because I studied under a French Parisian teacher.
haha ah ok ^^
Please “review” Jodie Foster, she’s fluent in French!!
ok noted I'll do that :)

Thank you very much. I agree it is impotent to keep the flow. To think, “what do I want to say”. And to not worry about the grammar to much. Of courses it will always be people that wants to concentrate on the mistakes and exaggerate them. Dream Believe Achieve😊📚🙆🏼♀️
