  • i like to piss of some french immersions :)

  • Native should be teach their languages to have an idea of the french accent ( Here) , that's all ... otherwith it's cute...

  • The teacher has a very weird accent. I am a native French speaker from Paris, France, and to me this teacher speaks very strangely. She rolls her 'R's, like when she says 'Bonjour', and in French we NEVER roll the 'R's. I find it very odd and not beneficial for the students at all.

  • @lespatmilescyrusbff I know, I reacted to that too, and I don't even speak French. I though it might have to do with it being a Canadian program, but still. You'd think they'd want kids to learn the correct pronounciation.

  • @KCH91 well, I think rolling your r's is common in this canadian dialect of French. I am not sure if this french is quebecois or acadian or whatever...but I can tell you, in Louisiana, where I am from, most people roll their r's in combination with the typical Parisian r. I like the rolling of the r, it gives French a little more spice.

  • @sambo861 Fair enough. I didn't realize French was commonly spoken in Louisiana. I do know a bunch of people from both France and Quebec though, and none of them have an accent like in the video. So, in my experience it really isn't very common, that's all. Could be some regional dialect, I suppose.

  • @sambo861 Rolling your r's in French is wrong and terribly disturbing to hear.

  • @lespatmilescyrusbff Their accents are heinous... It hurts my ears to hear the kids speak French too. They should fix their accents or just stop!

  • @YouStoleMyTube Says who? This dialect of french is OLDER than the french spoken in Paris today.

  • @sambo861 Yes I know, any self respecting French speaker knows that. But that doesn't take away from the fact that rolling your r's in French is incorrect. And it's not even used by native French speakers of Quebec. The only difference between Quebec French and France French is that "th" is pronounced "d" instead of "z" as well as the expressions. Only people from small villages roll their r's!

  • @YouStoleMyTube Well, it's not incorrect. It's just a different accent. like I said, I in louisiana where I am from, people still roll their r's in addition to the traditional french r. People in many parts of africa and india roll their r's and are native speakers of english. Does that make them incorrect? Or maybe they just have a different accent. It's a little snobby to think that only the Parisians have the correct accent.

  • @sambo861 Rolling your r's in French is incorrect, no matter if you speak Quebecois, French of Belgium, or French of France. But I'm not surprised you roll your r's in Louisiana, it is after all, not near a French speaking Capital so of course your accent would diverge from what is standard.

  • @YouStoleMyTube I disagree. Cajun french is based off 17th century French. Early modern French had rolled r's as the language comes latin, a language that rolled its r's. You've also obviously never been to France as their are several regions in France where the people STILL ROLL THEIR R'S.

  • @YouStoleMyTube You did not say that. You said "But I'm not surprised you roll your r's in Louisiana, it is after all, not near a French speaking Capital so of course your accent would diverge from what is standard." which is much different than saying only people from small villages roll their r's. Two completely different statements. Furthermore, ever been to African countries that speak French?? IN SENEGAL, everyone rolls their r's, and THEY ARE VERY EDUCATED.

  • @YouStoleMyTube Regardless, like I said, in many African countries they roll their r's. It's okay to roll your r's. It's simply a different dialect. People in some countries roll their r's in English. It doesn't mean it's wrong. It's just different.

  • @sambo861 Their dialects are not correct. Just like Afrikaans used to be Dutch, but has strayed away from what is standard. The French has too.

  • @YouStoleMyTube Well, I don't think any country has a monopoly on french grammar. Are you even french?

  • Where is this school? I wish I had this here in Orange County, California.

  • This is a canadian program:) thats why Canada rules lol

  • I think this school is in Canada. There is a French international school called Lycée International de Los Angeles; the main location is in LA but they have some smaller campuses including one in Santa Ana, I think they offer some classes. The kids speak much better French from an early age than the kids at this school.

  • aww 7:08 - 7:21.. cest tellement mignon

  • haha oui
