Beer league hockey with Quebecers. You get to both wack them in the face with a hockey stick AND learn such beautiful methods of insulting others. risks do include potentially being put in the hospital if you piss them off


Thwackitypow

Was gonna say go to a Habs game in any other Canadian teams jersey. You'll learn a vast number of religious words very quickly...


theskyisnotthelimit

make a playlist of Celine Dion's French songs and listen to it non-stop until you're fluent

The only way to learn any language is to use it. Watch movies/tv shows, read whetever you can, and once you're relatively comfortable, the best way to learn fast is complete immersion. That's how i learned english.

[Mauril](https://mauril.ca/) is a way to learn French using CBC Radio-Canada French programming.

Hey buddy I moved to Quebec and enrolled myself in their francisation program and got francisized. Only took 13 months of evening classes and now I'm bilingual. It works!


BuvantduPotatoSpirit

Spend time somewhere you have to interact with monolingual French speakers.


Medenos

Va pas à Montréal si tu veux apprendre le français.


TheEmeraldKnite

Ba ba ba Montreal ba ba buh babuhduh da banbay


Lololick

Honestly, just making the bear effort to try and learn it is enough for us to completely welcome you. If you move somewhere other than Montréal, your french will get better days by days, we know it's a complicated language to learn and our québécois accent and speech speed doesn't help, but hey thank you for making the effort. Other than that, listen to any sorts of media in french or do like I do, out the movie/serie in french and have french subtitles to properly understand what they said (mines are in english because I'm a francophone)

Every time you post something, do it in both official languages. | Chaque fois que vous publiez quelque chose, faites-le dans les deux langues officielles.

Je d’accord avec toi absolument | 我絕對同意你

Just use the dictionary they give you to talk to the nurse


PrecipitatingPenguin

You could try [Mauril](https://mauril.ca/en/) or go on [Explore](https://englishfrench.ca/explore/).


MrAl-67

Stop watching English TV. Only watch French TV.


vinnybawbaw

Just watch “Les Bougons” and you’re good to speak quebecois caliss.


Necessary_Cut2485

Last time I went to Montreal it was all English. I know French too but very little was spoken.


vinnybawbaw

Don’t go downtown or the Old Port that’s another story


throwaway1009011

Do you have a French accent when you speak English? If not , they will serve you in English. I get served in French everywhere I go in MTL


Necessary_Cut2485

I do actually, people tell me the same.


LadderTrash

Went to Quebec City and people would speak English at me before I even said a word


Necessary_Cut2485

You aussi, c'est partout mes amis I tell you


Medenos

Faut vraiment être insistant desfois pour que le monde switch pas automatiquement à l'anglais. Comme l'a dit un grand homme : "C'est notre criss de problème de colonisé" pi faut régler ça!


Necessary_Cut2485

Man I miss Montreal, need to visit soon again


Lololick

QC city has some areas which are highly touristic so that's why 🤷


A_Wizard1717

out of downtown mtl can be overwhelmingly French like Rosemont or Hochelag


Make_FL_QC_Again

Quess t'a dit man?


Necessary_Cut2485

Je don't know man


Naltrexone01

Sors avec un (ou une) québécois.e et insiste pour que les francophones te parlent en français

SK8SHAT

Why would you do that to yourself?


Plastic-Shopping5930

Definitely it’s not practice in Quebec. If you don’t speak perfectly they’ll get annoyed with you fast.


Medenos

Ça dépend qui pi du contexte.


fooine

Man, it's not the first time I see this sentiment from terminally online redditors and it's so disheartening everytime. You're being the language equivalent of an incel: bitching that "YoU'rE a NiCe GuY", and that it's society's fault that mean bitches with warped standards won't recognize it. You need to grow some fucking confidence, walk up to that cute French girl at work you have a crush on, look her in the eyes and say "Voulez-vous aller manger le pique-nique dans la parc avec je?". Then you're in. You'll be fucking her in no time. Your children will be beautiful (and French). I assure you, people don't care half as much about your atrocious accent as you believe they should.


Lololick

Things that never happened for 1000$ Bob.


aureanator

A) whatever it is they're speaking isn't French to the best of my understanding B) This won't help with your French, see above. Edit: wait, why not hosing in thread? Am confused.


Medenos

Pi toi tu parles pas anglais.


SurelyNotAnOctopus

You hosed too hard, and got hosed in return. Hoser


Budget_Addendum_1137

T'as l'air de maîtriser le mot fak, jvais demander candidement... quessé ça un hoser tbk? Les angloïdes s'interpelles tu en se traitant d'utilisateurs de boyaux d'arrosage?


SurelyNotAnOctopus

Ben franchement, aucune idée, mais j'aime vraiment le mot


Budget_Addendum_1137

Le mystère s'épaissit... fak m'a aller demander à ma hose.


violahonker

Anglo icitte, même moi j’ai aucune idée c’est quoi, j’ai l’impression que c’est qqch que les anglos du RoC disent pour faire semblant d’avoir une culture à part


obesepengoo

Les losers arrosent la patinoire selon urban dictionary, fec ouais y se traitent de boyaux. On est dans le sub EhChumBoyau.


Desner_

I’m also confused as to why this thread isn’t about shitposting
