  • I'm from BC and I just learned alot from this. Thanks for posting!

  • @questfortruth85 You're welcomed, thank you for watching!

  • My last name is Acadian, and that is the only Acadian thing about me, but I wished for so long that I could've grown up speaking acadian around the house, but sadly our language was lost a few generations back. Thanks to French Immersion program at the school I went to, I was able to learn french from Les Acadians and Les Anglais alike. Now that I'm livingin Boston though, I find it annoying to explain to people, "No, I'm not French, I'm Acadian."Maybe this video will help me explain! Thanks! :)

  • @daniarseneau13 We have the same last name, I'm an Arseneau too. :) But it's too bad they don't know more about Acadians in Boston, there's a decent Acadian community in the area!

  • Real Acadians comme from France and was the first setlers after the native. Acadians have always live by the coast in what was Acadia, the maritime. I am pure Acadian from 1670 from the the Capital of Acadia, Caraquet situeted in the Acadian Peninsula in New Brunswick.

    Y'a environ 10 millions Acadiens au Canada. Plusieurs Quebecois et anglais sont d'origine Acadienne et ne le savent pas. Dans l'Amerique du Nord y doit avoir plus de 15 millions d'Acadiens.

    Vive l'Acadie!

  • @caraquetquartier4 10 millions!!! Le Canada a une population de 32 million, j'ai un peu de misere a croire que 10 millions d'eux sont Acadiens. C'est quoi la source de vos chiffres?

  • Je suis un Acadien de la Nouvelle-Écosse et j'adore le Québec. Cependant, c'est incroyablement frustrant d'aller au québec et de se faire constament addressé la parole en anglais, même lorsque j'insiste que je suis purement francophone. C'est cette ignorance envers les autre cultures francophones du Canada (pas seulement les acadiens lol) qui me frustre au plus gros dégré.

  • Oui mais ce que je veux dire, c'est que être d'origine acadienne au québec ne veux pas dire que tu vis la culture acadienne.Grandir au Québec, ça veux dire grandir dans un milieux où c,est la culture et la mentalité québécoise qui domine (naturellement).

  • This was a great find! Thanks for your explanation of the difference between Acadians & Quebecois & Canadians. Laughed at how you describe parking your car - perfect!

    I just finished co-writing a new one-woman show called "I'm An Acadian-Canadian, Eh!". Plans are to launch it February 2012. Details on my website jeanettearsenault.ca

  • @Dow1755

    J'suis d'Edmundston et j'étudie en France toute suite. Ça m'est arrivé la première journée! C'est un peu insultant parce que c'est comme si tu te fais dire que t'es nul en français, but faut pas trop y faire attention. Le nombre de fois qu'on m'a dit: "Ah t'es Québécois!?" ouffff...

    J'étais un peu complexé au début parce que avouons le, on parle un français de merde, mais j'pense à st'heure qu'y faut savoir apprécier la richesse linguistique, culturelle et historique de tout dialecte!
