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

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

[YouStoleMyTube]

@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.

[sambo861]

@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]

@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 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.

@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.

[sambo861]

@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.

[YouStoleMyTube]

@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!
