Mauvaise Herbe | Parce que c'est ça Quebec French and Metropolitan French - Sam Gendreau French is a Romance language spoken as a first language in many countries around the world. Indeed, French is an official language in 29 countries. According to a demographic projection led by the Université Laval and the Réseau Démographie de l’Agence universitaire de la francophonie, French speakers will number approximately 500 million people in 2025 and 650 million people, or approximately 7% of the world’s population, by 2050. What some people don’t know is that Canada is one of the countries where French is spoken, primarily throughout the province of Québec, but also in New Brunswick, Ontario, and smaller communities throughout the country. So how exactly is Québec French different from the French spoken in France? Before delving into this question, let’s first have a quick look at why French is even spoken in Québec in the first place. Why French in Canada? The quick answer to the question “Why French in Canada?” Why does Québec French sound like 300-year-old French? 1. 2. 3. 4.

Le Couac How to learn the vocabulary of foreign languages Once you have got to grips with the fundamentals of a language (pronunciation, orthography and basic grammar), you can concentrate on learning vocabulary. This is probably the most important and time-consuming part of learning a language. Associate the familiar with the unfamiliar Try to find word or phrases in your L1 which sound like and if possible have a similar meaning to words in your L2. Build mental images or draw pictures based on the connections. Genders To remember genders try picturing a Spanish-speaking region, divide it into two and place masculine nouns on one side and feminine words on the other. If your L2 has many genders, imagine a large building with many floors, assign a different gender to each floor and place words on the appropriate floor according to their gender. Avoiding language mix ups Associating words from each language you learn with places where they are spoken will help you to avoid getting your languages mixed up. Testing and revision Learn words in context
Too Different and Too Familiar: The Challenge of French-Canadian Literature In the prologue to his now-iconic “Two Solitudes,” Hugh MacLennan professed to have written “a novel of Canada.” The book was published in 1945, and one can imagine the patriotic enthusiasm that the comment may have sparked among readers hungry for tales of the triumphant homeland. Today, on the other hand, such a claim would sound not only ostentatious but redundant: CanLit, as we often call it, having flailed in the nineteen-seventies through an adolescent phase full of anxious self-definition, is now generally thought to include any work by a Canadian citizen. All our novels are “of Canada,” whether they’re about Kamloops, or Cambodia, or no place at all. MacLennan, in that same prologue, claimed that “Two Solitudes” spoke to the experience of “both races … of the country,” meaning the linguistic “races” of English and French. In MacLennan’s day, Ontario was consolidating its position as the nation’s economic and cultural heartland. The record is littered with lacunae.
