I'm French Canadian. A friend of mine lives in Paris. I go to Paris fairly often. When I'm there, I speak exclusively English to anyone I don't know.
If I speak French, my god damn native tongue, they either make sure to tell me my accent is horrendous or they reply in German. In either case, they take this condescending tone... You know the one.
When I speak English, not only do I have the upper hand on the language, but they don't know I can understand them perfectly. Win win for me.
Vous êtes chiants, les Parisiens.
In France they are known for this thing with their language where anything that doesn't sound like parisine french they call it "patois" (I think I wrote it correctly?). You probably won't have this problem if you go to the south of France.
The funny part is that quebecois split off of Classical French, and the bastardized version they speak in France now is farther away from classical than quebecois.
Let's be honest, who actually speaks French outside of Canada and France?
Woking with people from southern Europe (seen from Sweden), sadly a lot. Belgians, Luxemburgians, French (🤢), Swiss, and the list continues.
I really hope this is some sort of joke as I didn't mean to spark racism...
It definitely is not a joke - their inability and refusal to make themselves understood is a real problem.
The only solution is to boycott them all and dig out their countries and separate them from the rest of Europe (/s)
Maybe this isn't the place for blatant discrimination
The cajuns and acadians in the USA beside the obvious that have already been named.
Some places in africa, and some islands in the indian, and pacific oceans?
South American countries too
Yeah, I actually realized I didn't mention that once I was off of lemmy a while. Brain not braining.
