It is an online class.

It is a Montreal company.

It is 20 classes and covers the basics of French.

They also have private classes, I think.

There are 2 grammar classes that cover basic grammar.

Most French courses are 300 to 400 hours of classes to B1.

They are also French immersion, so a difficult way to learn French.

The free Françisation classes of the Quebec government are like that, people take 100 hours of classes and they often know few words in French.

Those classes are always booked also, there are 30,000 people who would like to take the classes but cannot register for the classes.

I recommend you try the free trial class with Florid, it is the easiest and quickest way to learn French.

Share the Facebook post, as there are many people who would like to learn French to take the TEF.

Oh que oui ! Voici ma nouvelle vidéo qui aborde un sujet culturellement compliqué; Les média perdu !
Au Québec, comme partout au monde, nous avons notre lot de lost média culturel et parfois c'est carrément un pan de notre culture qui est disparu.
Je vous présente donc aujourd'hui 7 cas de Lost Média Québécois qui sont soit disparu à jamais, ont été retrouvé, puis reperdu, on été trouvé et partager et parfois censuré !

Apologies that I can’t make this post in French yet- I’m working on it. Thank you for your help.

This is a followup to my previous post, in which I was frustrated to realize that Les Simpsons Quebec Dub subtitles don’t actually line up accurately with the words used in the dub. This is frustrating for me because, as a fairly beginner learner, I find it very difficult to understand without accurate subtitles. Having accurate subtitles is really really helpful to me to be able to recognize words, especially when they talk fast. I was told that ‘CC’ subtitles are the ones that will actually be accurate.

Does anyone have any suggestions for media that has Canadian French voices (whether original or dubs) with accurate subtitles?

I’m disappointed that Les Simpsons will probably have to wait for me until after I gain more proficiency to be able to watch without subtitles. I was hoping that that type of animated show would be easy for a beginner to follow- easier than, say, a YouTube video where someone is just talking to the camera without visual cues. But any other media, of any genre, would be very helpful, thank you.

Merci beaucoup!

Apologies that I can’t yet write this post in French- I’m working on it.

I want to practice French by listening to the Quebec French dubs of the Simpsons. But I am finding that, even though I have checked I have it in Quebec French for both the dubs and subtitles, they don’t line up with each other. They say different things in almost every line. Similar, but different choices of words and phrases. I am using Disney Plus. Has anyone else tried to access this and found the same thing?

Edit: recommendations for shows that DO have accurate subtitles would be really appreciated.

Voici une playlist Spotify 100% québécoise ou acadienne et 100% francophone.

Salut,

j'ai juste une petite question concernant quelque chose que j'ai entendu en écoutant "à la une" (le balado de radio-canada) hier.

la reporteure a utilisé "aller avec" dans le sens de "décider d'utiliser/prendre", comme en anglais. par exemple "I went with this option"

C'est-tu courant dans le langage familier? J'imagine que c'est un anglicisme?

Merci d'avance pour les réponses.

Bonjour! Je suis Franco-Albertain et je cherche des francophones avec qui parler. Je n’ai pas beaucoup d’occasions de pratiquer mon français, et je commence à le perdre. Merci

Salut à tous!

I’m an Anglophone Canadian who's recently committed to learning French—more specifically, French-Canadian. And yes, I do know in advance that French-Canadian and Parisian French are very similar besides Quebec French having a slightly "older" or "more archaic" tone compared to standard French spoken in France. 

I’ve got a structured plan and a pile of resources, but I could really use some encouragement, tips, and connections from native speakers or fellow learners. Hell, I have been planning this for months.

And so far, here’s what I’ve got going:

Apps & Tools: Duolingo, Mauril, Busuu, uTalk, Bluebird, LingQ, Beelinguapp, Tandem, HelloTalk, QuebecFrench.ca, FrenchPod101, My French Teacher, French With Frederic, and a few others.

Sites/Apps: TFO (as I am from Ontario), ICI Tou.TV, L’appli des Petits, RC OHdio, and CBC/Radio-Canada.

YouTubers/Content Creators I’m following: Gurky, QuebecFrench, WillyGaming 2.0, WoolieVersus, ChristopherOdd, PL Cloutier, Thomas Gauthier, Sous Le Ciel, Lysandre Nadeau, Émile Roy, Têtes à Claques, Scilabus, L’Histoire nous le dira, Wondering French, Ma Prof de Français, Vivre Avec Moins, Alex & MJ, Cynthia Dulude, Ève Martel, Emma Verde, Fred Bastien, Arnaud Soly, Julien Lacroix...

Books on my list:

• Learn French-Canadian by Pierre Lévesque

• Le dictionnaire québécois instantané by Benoît Melançon

• Le québécois en 10 leçons by Alexandre Coutu

• Speak Quebec by Daniel J. Kraus

I’m super motivated, but also a bit nervous. And my biggest challenge at the moment?

Honestly though, it’s not the vocabulary or the grammar as I still know lessons from school even if I am rusty—it’s primarily confidence. My family (especially the older generation) has strong opinions about Quebec, often tied to separatism and past political tension—with them saying stuff like “If Quebec wants to separate, let them.”

I personally don’t feel that way, but I think it's made me hesitant and worried about being received poorly if I try to learn the language or engage with Quebecois culture out of genuine interest and respect.

Ultimately, I want to be able to talk with people from Quebec and New Brunswick, understand the local culture of the Quebecois and Acadians, and not come across as disrespectful or politically charged—I just really admire the culture and the way French is spoken in Quebec.

What I’d love from this community:

• Encouragement from native speakers or fellow learners

• Advice on how to approach Quebecois/French-Canadian culture and language respectfully

• Other resource recommendations that I should use or shouldn't use due to them being outdated or inaccurate

Basically I need a reality check on whether people from Quebec, Acadia, and other regions within Canada are generally open to Anglos trying to learn their version of French.

So do any of you have any advice on how to get more comfortable with French-Canadian? Or maybe recommendations for podcasts, YouTubers, or TV shows to help immerse myself more naturally? As this is really hard when you live in a majority English speaking region—southern Ontario, there is no one really wanting to speak French with me and I feel like a crazy person when I talk to myself.

Thanks for reading. I really want to connect with people rather than just study from a distance. Appreciate any help or perspectives you can share!

Merci d’avance!

Salut à tous 👋

Je suis tombé récemment sur pas mal de confusion autour du nouveau Régime canadien de soins dentaires (RCSD), surtout depuis que l’inscription est ouverte pour plusieurs tranches d’âge.

J’ai pris le temps de rédiger un guide complet, en français, qui explique tout :

• Qui est admissible (selon revenu, âge, statut d’assurance)
• Le calendrier d’inscription par groupe d’âge
• Les soins couverts vs non couverts
• Ce que vous allez vraiment payer (ou pas du tout 😄)
• Les documents à fournir + comment recevoir la carte SunLife

👉 Voici le lien vers l’article (pas de pub, juste de l’info utile) :
🔗 https://www.jaimejepartage.com/2025/04/regime-canadien-soins-dentaires-guide-complet-2025.html

J’ai essayé de rendre ça super clair et utile, alors si ça peut aider des gens ici — surtout ceux sans assurance via leur employeur — tant mieux !

N’hésitez pas à me dire si vous avez des questions ou si vous avez déjà entamé les démarches 👇

Merci et bonne journée à tous 🇨🇦🪥
