She's widely exagerating though, I've never heard a french person in my life that say "difficult" with that u sound she made, we may suck but we still learn english from a young age so that kind of words even kids pronounce it correctly (except the accent). I don't think there's a major difference between the Wallonia and France in terms of English fluency.

Yeah but on the first one she over did it, most of the french know that "e" is pronounced "i" in english, she over did it on all tbh

@@xenotypos Most French people pronounce the 'u' in 'difficult' French-style, exactly as the French girl suggests. The Belgian girl doesn't represent the Belgian people as a whole. Her English is perfect.

@@gilbertlagrange6419 No, I've spent almost all my life here and it never happened. By never, I mean never. So don't say "most people", it's absurd. People go to school and it's the most basic word ever, one of the first ones learned and repeated again and again.

That’s only Montreal though once you leave the big cities, you’ve got to speak French 100%

Something even more interesting is that statistically speaking Quebec as a province is more bilingual than the Island of Montreal.

That's totally not true...

@@Entername-md1ev Your comment is not true . Eastern townships is pretty english and bilingual . South shore and north shore of Montreal are bilingual . Chateauguay region and Gatineau are bilingual We are in 2023 , quebeckers are bilingual . Not the case for the rest of Canada .

​@@jeanbolduc5818northern Ontario is very bilingual.

"Belgian"

I'm smitten with Naya, hope they bring her back.

​@@xolotlmexihcah4671what wrong?

I love her voice too ❤!

@WILLIAM GREY he’s silly

well she exagerates a little too much, the exagerate french accent is sometime a joke between french. and I really think for coughing if a french don't how to say this world, he would ask it without saying it😅

@@aimdeka7023 She's definitely exagerating: she sounds like she's imitating someone who has never read english or heard any english sound before...

@@Poussindesdomtom i have understands, but a child even a who speak only french may heard english word every day in france. ^^

i’m actually exaggerating it cuz i had no idea how french people would say it so i said it the strongest french accent possible

@@aimdeka7023 Yeah as a French (who speaks with other French ppl in English everyday) i neva eared an accent like that lol

Canadians are friendly and solidarius people i agree.

People from Quebec are very nice .... and the maritimes . As soon you enter Ontario and the west of Canada it is another story.

@@jeanbolduc5818On t’au Québec ‘citte!

​@@jeanbolduc5818that attitude is why many Quebecois are perceived as stuck-up.

More beauty 🤣, maybe compared to the US accent, but many Brits accents definitely sound more refined- There is an elegance to the English spoken in a French accent, but it is more "effete" and artificial sounding and less of a Velvet "smoothness," of many British accents, and especially compared to the RP English accent

If you repair in video the 3 ladies knows deeply the french and the english phonology. Lucie the first lady,gal shows in pratice what she like, when she speaks english she uses english sounds, when she speaks french she uses french sounds. About brit accent i love the central and northem brit accent, the southern brit accent its mixed with french strongly its so confused. But a person that speaks french and english well can understand all the brits phonologies. In other way, many southern regions yankees invents a wrong phonology to english its no good too.🤭🤭🤭🤭

Interestingly enough, I noticed a lot of Flemish speakers sound very American as well. Also Dutch speakers in the Netherlands. Might be a regional thing or just a trend among English learners everywhere.

@@Vulgarities Yea Dutch/Flemish is a very similar language to English, that could explain why many of them learn it so well, and many Walloons begin learning both Flemish and English at an early age, Naya says she began learning English at just 6.

Don't forget they all live abroad (as you know this is a Korean channel). Which means they all pay a strong interest in foreign cultures and languages. The way they speak english is not necessarily representative of the way people speak english in their native country. It'll actually depends on their own personnality and past. For example, I know a lot of them have already lived in an english speaking country before South Korea.

@@Poussindesdomtom As a Belgian, i can say that her accent is representative for a lot of Belgian people in the flemish (dutch speaking) region. I can't speak for the other half. In the walloon (french speaking) region, the accent will tend more towards the french accent

I confirm the Flemish people are more anglophone just like the people in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 vs the Walloon people who are more Francophone like France 🇫🇷 Brussels is a melting pot of it all. There are more Flemish people that can speak French than Walloon people that speak Flemish and if both can't speak both we default to English which sounds American coming from the Flemish speaker

it really is like a fairytale place!

bcp de gens disent "challenge" de cette façon, a noter que ce mot vient à la base du français. Bcp de mots dits "anglais" sont en vérité des mot issue de l'ancien français ou des mots du français moderne mais tombé dans l'oubli. les mots comme : bacon,designer, spoiler, custom et bien d'autres encore

I'm an American, but I live a mile from the border with Canada. I've had Canadians tell me that I sound very American, and I've had Americans (from other regions) say that I sound Canadian.

i know i was exaggerating, naya was actually helping me to find a way to say it cuz it was too much but i was reading if a french person was reading it for the first time ever

The french girl was perfect. I am from Quebec , living in an ocean of english speaking , and i confirm , french from France in Montreal are very easy to notice in english.

People from Quebec are more into fashion than the rest of Canada. Montreal is considered the fashion city and the canadian capital of culture .

isn’t he? aha

Which is pretty sad to be honest, yet real... I think it's mostly due to some sort of PTSD remembrance moments and triggering memories coming from the shaming process generally applied and viewed by teacher as a teaching methods ( sigh ) during English classes ( facepalm )... I think a lot of French understand English to some levels but prefer to answer in french when a foreigner come to them because they're actually afraid to speak it...

Would you have said the same thing if the English speaker came from the USA? Like, "I wish they had a British person too"

English Canada and USA have the same accent in general . But in the UK , you have several accents like in the USA

Me too❤

Je suis Quebecois et confirme que l'accent des francais de France est mediocre en anglais

Vlaanderen left the chat

I thought you were right ...

Exactly. Every time she tries to prounce things _"the way French people would do"_ (as she says), she sounds like someone who's reading English for the very first time or as you say: like a non-French person who's trying to imitate the French accent...

it was hard to do and i was thinking as if exemple my grand parents would read it, the french phonetic but it’s quite hard to do as i trained myself not to have a french accent when i speak english..

@@ricartlu In this case I agree. I think my grand parents would pronounce those words as they see them, the way you do... 😋

As a Montrealer , i confirm the french from France accent ( with a strong french accent )in this video is pretty accurate . Of course , there are french people fully bilingual . The best countries in Europe are Sweden and Norway for not having any accents in english

@@jeanbolduc5818 French kids learn how to speak English in primary or middle school, they learn how to pronounce words with their teachers. Frenchs know that “I” is pronounced “ai” in English, so pronouncing every letter is a stereotype. Of course there is an accent (like so many other English speakers that are not native speakers), for instance “ze” instead of “the” for some people. But as I said, pronouncing every single letter is a stereotype and this is only applied to people who never learned English in their life, which is rare considering the actual school system in France.

No no it is correct

@@sebastianjarvie543 they changed it, lol

I agree with this 100%: "As a Québécoise it puzzles me how non Canadian expect Québécois to have a Canadian accent when speaking English. We don't learn to say "aboot" and "eh" in English classes." However, "You can't really pick up that accent unless you live in _the other provinces_ ." drives me up the wall. That "Québec is French and everywhere else is English" mentality is completely wrong.

@@juliansmith4295 it's not a mentality it's a fact. A Québécois who has lived in Québec all of their life is very unlikely to develop those speech patterns associated with "the Canadian accent". You need significant contact with someone who does have those speech patterns to develop them. Why is this driving you up the wall?? That's just how language works. It's a matter of exposition.

@@TheAnnez0r Bonjour, Anne. I understand that English isn't your first language, so I'll try to make this more clear. I was talking about two different things. First, I said I agreed with what you said about needing to have significant contact with someone (or more likely be in that environment) to pick up certain speech patterns. The "mentality" I was talking about, what I disagreed with, was that Québec is French only, and all the other provinces are English only. That is not true, and when people say that or imply it, it drives me up the wall.

@@juliansmith4295 I understand writing might not be your strong suit, but you quoted me twice using these ".." then proceeded to invent a quote I haven't said using these "..." Making it seem like that is what I said. Now you say that you agree to all of my actual quotes except the one you invented...So I don't understand why you are bringing it up? I never said that, nor do I believe that. I am aware there are language minorities in all provinces. I am aware there are French communities in the other provinces. I literally spent a summer working for one of those communities. I am aware N-B has two official languages and a strong Acadian community. I am aware some towns in other provinces are historically French speaking and still do. I am aware Québec has a historical English minority, but unless you live in Montreal or parts of the Eastern Townships most people's contact with the English language is at school only thus won't learn the "typical Canadian accent" and even then what outsiders associate with the "Canadian accent" isn't even spoken in all provinces. Decently educated Québécois are aware of these facts. You are barking at the wrong tree and making a mountain out of an ant hill. I don't know the Québécois who hurt you but it ain't me lol Enjoy your day, i'm out of this conversation.

​@@TheAnnez0r Wow! What a spectacularly rude load of crap. From the beginning, I said that I agree with the first part of what you said, about how people pick things up from the people around them. The only thing I didn't agree with was that you implied that Québec is all French and people "in the other provinces" (deny it all you like, but that is what you said) only speak French. Do you really think anglos in Québec don't use the Canadian /aʊ/ diphthong? You're out of this conversation? Thank you!

Depends, Megan still represents the Quebecois accent pretty well although she clearly speaks English very well so the accent was clearly naturalized.

Exactly, but that's the probleem, isn't it, most French native speakers in Korea will have been much more integrated witth other language, by default. Lucy did a "pretty good" job, though of showing a strong French accent, which wasn't hers.She clearly understands phonetics of a Francophone, because it sounded very much like some French people I have heard

Your comment is so typically french from France . Always a need to criticize negatively . I am from Montreal , and there are a lot of french people from France and they are never satisfied . Why is the french chauvinism is so strong and at the same time you are so negative about your culture.

@@jeanbolduc5818 Probably because, unlike the Brits, they decided against multiculturalism, in the 20th century, meaning that they were nnot forced to immerse themselves in the cultures of those they have been colonising for centuries.People can mention Positives and negatives which followed this decision, but 1 of the positives was definitely more understanding and accommodation of diversity happening gradually over the following decades British people, whether they wanted it or not, were forced to accept other cultures living in pockets, close to the big cities, even though the living standard would be worse in those areas, it was stiill dramatic improvement to where theey have been living before, In other countries, e.g. "the Windrush generation" after the Second World War, to rebuild the Bombed/wrecked nation after the war. France was virtually intact after the war, having been occupied, so "even though" they had some immigration, it was nowhere near as much and when it did happen, the rules were much more strict about how other cultures could integrate withiin the French living spaces. Ultimately, the ethnic peoples allowed to Emigrate to the UK, suffered a lot of racism in The 1950-1970s, but effectively It has led to more understanding between groups and now the UK is the least racist place to live, as proven by the British people never electing the extreme member of Parliament, to Westminster, in any constituency in the country, whereas that happens regularly in France throughout the last 70 years. There are many negatives to multiculturalism, e.g. pockets of communities where nobody speaks English and a lot of crime associated with exploitation of Anglo-Saxon Brits as well as exploitation of tthe ethnicc peoples, because even though there is more understanding, that doesn't mean everywhere. I'm just saying that for the general public. It has meant more lenient towards the Commonwealth countries, than the French show towards theirs

I can say without question that the majority of native English speakers find a strong French accent very, very charming. So, you may tell all French speakers they should not be insecure haha. On the other hand, I feel like native English speakers with a poor French accent just sound horrible to the French 😂

The "e" at the end : It would be more like an Italian accent.

well it's because you are an english speaker. For french people , someone with an english accent is sometimes seen as cute or sexy, but a french who speaks with a bad enlish accent will be mocked by other french

Is that in France? In Québec, quite often if you speak with a poor accent people will just respond to you in English. I think it probably hurts their ears haha.

@@kranmaster yes in france it's like that. I'm french and it's quite true that most of us like foreigner with an english accent when speaking french 😅

So, obviously, you are the odd 1 out of 10 who doesn't only know one language 😉

He not only made a wildly inaccurate assumption, but he's also inaccurate about internationals level.The difference is that the Brits are more modest (a cultural predispositio) and less insecure about understanding other languages. If you try to instruct, or question foreigners in London, who say they speak English, you soon find that they often understand very little, and are just very good at blagging it. It's easy to sound like yo understand the language in random conversation, when you're not absorbing what the other person is saying, but just nodding along and giving monosyllabic answers

Exceptions will be exceptions... 😉

In general , British people have no interest in any other language since they think english is superior to any other. I am a french Canadian and our history of the past 500 years shows how xenophobic and closed minded british are.
