French languages? I think that you mean French accents.

I once met a British guy, fluent in French, who had an interesting take on the matter. He told me (I am Québécois) I spoke French like Americans speak English.

ça aurait été intéressant de prendre un Africain , un Suisse Roman et un Cajun de Louisiane en plus .

Saying Drake cause she thought Céline Dion would be too obvious is the most québécois thing I’ve ever heard 😂😂😂

The lady from belgian doesn't only has a belgian accent. Her case is super unique ! Cause she definitely speaks with a mix of different accents. French doesn't seems to be her native language. "Une belle pays" ?? Is a very weird mistake for a native ahah I understand why the british dude was confused and I wouldn't be surprised if her mother tongue language isn't french considering she speaks 6 languages

Quand tu est français et que tu écoutes ça, tu ne peut juste pas t'empêcher de rire aux éclats tellement que notre accent et manière de parler se remarque 😂

"Drake" , "that's worse" lol 😂 couldn't handle this one

Naya, the Belgian girl, is certainly Flemish. We can hear that in her accent, like in the way she pronounces the R's

I have often heard that Québecois French is quite different from European French, but this is the first time I really heard it. She definitely had a different accent, maybe even leaning toward a different dialect. btw/there are other European countries in which French is a native language, including Switzerland, Luxembourg and Monaco.

Naya is Flemish or from Brussels but her accent is pretty unique. I’m from Wallonia and my accent is totally different from hers or from my friend who lives in Liège!

I always find it funny that Canada insists on translating certain english terms in french like "magasiner" which actually means "shopping" and France just uses the english terms with a thick french accent. They also translate almost all movie titles in french, despite being so close to the US and much better at english than French people. Yet at the same time, they use english vocabulary a lot when speaking😂

Thank you for representing Québec on your channel

That Quebecers accent is verrryyyy neutral for a Quebecer. It only comes through a little stronger when she says hiver, populaire, and printemps

I'm actually surprised at the French Canadian's accent. I'm Canadian, and all of my French Canadian friends have very distinct accents that you can really hear on vowel sounds, particularly when they say "Oui", and I assumed that accent carried through all of Québec. Clearly, I was very wrong 😂😂

Ils auraient dû prendre un gars du Lac St-Jean, ou de la Gaspésie, ça aurait été drôle 😂

To recognize someone from Belgium, close your eyes and listen to all the R's they pronounce all the R's

Too bad they don't have Louisiana French as well. We also speak French in the US as an heritage language. Also a Swiss or a Luxembourgish. Also if they took a French from Occitania with the singy accent it would have been fun...

7:15 Luxemburg and Suizerland, too. Monaco of course. And despite it's not and official language at all in Portugal you'll find french speakers there without much difficulty.

French is French ..we all speak the same French. The accent changes.

The poutine should've given the Quebecois girl away. Regardless, even before the poutine I immediately could tell that this was not metropolitan French. Even as an Anglophone, I could sense that something is very different from the standard French you associate with France.

I couldn't have told 🇨🇵 French and 🇧🇪 Belgian French apart because they sound so similar to me. I found it pretty easy to distinguish 🇨🇦 Canadian French/Québécois though since I'm a typical 🇫🇮 Finn who loves 🏒 ice hockey and my favourite team comes from Montréal, so I've watched videos in Canadian French (I know only the basics of French but Spanish helps). If she had named a famous hockey player (not Wayne Gretzky) instead, he probably would not have guessed Canada. 🤓 Personally, I absolutely love Canada. ☺️ There'd be so much to explore and I only managed to scratch the surface by seeing a little bit of Toronto, Montréal, Calgary and Banff during my only trip there. A beaver tail pastry with maple syrup and a poutine tasted delicious. 😋

Belgium has such wonderful and interesting young women. They have such a pleasant demeanor.

We finally have a quebecoise 🇲🇶

Emmanuel is back , good , the first UK male member , last time he also had to guess , but in english , French is harder for him

My history teacher told me that us Quebec French people, our accent and language in general is very close to the ancient French. So yes we are REAL French. French from France got influenced by Italian and Spanish

There is also Swiss French and speakers of French in Luxembourg

the canadian girl made me laught. thank u for that it made my day!!!

Didn't know that French Canadian are known as Québec or Québecois! I've heard of the city Québec. Also, I never visited Canada, so I didn't know there're differences between French Canadian and regular French! Emanuel seemed to have some knowledge of the French language, which helped him a lot.

Je suis du Mexique, j’ai compris l’accent québécois et l’accent France

I could listen to the Belgian girl talk all day 😩

beautiful language, and a brilliant video.

The young lady from Belgium is flemish. Her first language is not French but Dutch. Therefore, she has an accent that is not the accent of a native French speaking person.

It's interesting that he thought Naya might be from Africa. Given her parents are from Africa, it is reasonable that their accents might subtly influence hers despite the fact that she herself is from Belgium. I am not familiar enough with a typical Belgium accent to identify if hers differs in anyway.

The Northern French girl really needs to visit Quebec. Everyone who settled the French colony largely hails from Northern France, and we share a near identical culture with an old language that she would recognize quite profoundly. Northern France is a wonderful area, and spans two continents ultimately.

As with everything in language learning, exposure is the best teacher! This guy spent some time in France and seems to have guessed it in under a sentence into the interview with the French lady 😅

These different French accents made me think that it would be fun to do something like that with different German accents as well. And different British accents or basically different accents in any language.

He forgot that they also speak French in Switserland. A big tip to find out where the french speakers are from is to ask about numbers. The French do the really weird math counting whilest Belgian French is more logical except 80 and the swiss have the most logical where 80 is octante instead of quattre-vingt. That's how I would figure out what part of Europe they are from.

when he asked who was famous in lucie’s (the french girl) country and she said « dans ma partie de france » (in my part of france) lmaoo

Really couldn't tell Canadian from typical French, but come on, she said poutine when talking about food! That's such a giveaway!

This is really interesting, I have been learning english since I was young and I noticed there was a difference when it comes to accents, now I'm learning french and one of my teachers was a fonetist and he told me about this, I don't think dialects are the key in this video because they actually speak with the same vocabulary as it's different with Spanish (frutilla is strawberry or little fruit), I think the mane difference between the three of them is fonetics, because I noticed a small prolongation in the vowel of the québécoise and guttural things (I might be wrong) dans la femme de Belgique.

The Belgium girl and him were funny together XD

What about our swiss acccent ?!

Hi lucie and everyone!!!

7:46 Oh, it's funny, because if you go to Switzerland, they'll definitely tell you in French that they have the best chocolate too, even though it's very debatable. I mean debatable in Switzerland. There is no debate in Belgium about what nation makes the best chocolate.

There are more French speakers out of France , in Africa it's the official language of many countries , I would think the lady from Belgium is from there

What about Swiss French?

I lvoe how they took the most typical belgian accent for the shoot it amazes me

I don't understand what everyone means by Belgian accent 😅 I'm Belgian and I have a similar accent to Parisians and the girl clearly has a flemish accent But it's true some regions have a very particular accent like in Liège but nothing much

4:20 That is so funny cuz to my french ears, the belgian accent is so noticeable 🤣

8:59 She literally says France 😂

The accent of Quebec was easy to spot, for example, how she pronounced "printemps" or "populaire". She also used Quebec specific words/expression like "magasiner" and "écouter la TV".

When he said that the quebecoise didn't seem like a real french person but that quebec's french is the old and first french that have existed before and even France speaked that way before, but not today and quebecois are the only one who kept the same french.

4:50 She says "une belle pays" but "belle" is feminine and "pays" is masculine. She should've said "un beau pays". So I guess she's not native from French speaking Belgium. Flemish maybe? I'm wondering because I'd hardly see a Walloon confuse "pays" for a feminine name.

did y'all find this guy living under a rock because he keeps on passing every hint like damn 😭😭😭

It would have been interesting to have people with accents from different parts of France. The girl from the north have a very neutral French accent.

A lot of words in Quebec French kept the correct phonology. Ex : mettre (put) vs mètre (meter) vs maître (master) or jeûne (fasting) vs jeune (young) vs jaune (yellow). French in France has been simplified after the French Revolution to be easily taught at school outside Paris.

C'est marrant comment les québécois ont vraiment un accent américain quand ils parlent anglais. Un français qui parle anglais se reconnaît direct alors qu'un québécois ça paraît beaucoup plus naturel (Logique vu la proximité géographique en soit + le fait que tt les canadiens sont bilingues dès l'enfance)

As a Belgian I didn’t know the girls was from Belgium. She really doesn’t have the accent I’m use too. Maybe that Dutch is her first language but it doesn’t even sound like it

I was just listening and not watching for the most part. The first one had a settle twang similar to that in Québécoise but it’s harder there. The second one had this transition in high pitch when she gets emphatic or anxious maybe; my guess was African French. The last one had this deeper nasal sound; my guess was French as well. 2 out of 3…pas mal. This was a really fun video. Thanks! ❤🙏🏼👍🏽

Actually, the fries ARE French, even though it hurts me to say it. But it's us Belgians who made them great and famous

On a de belles filles en Belgique hein :o

1:48 Come on ! She literally sold it ! 😆

7:15 Well in fact, France, Monaco, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland all have French as an official language in Europe haha (French is also Vatican City's official diplomacy language!) But French is also spoken in Andorra, even if it's a minority ^^

I am French and I wouldn't have been able to guess Belgium 🤔

2:36 Drake🤣 Famous meme-person, curse to all football (soccer) clubs and national teams😅 Lucie is so serious

American English. Quebecois French or Mexican Spanish at least keep the common language...but it was not possible with Dutch and Afrikaans, which is not Afrikaner Dutch as the link with the European Metrópolis was broken soon

super vidéo

It has been proven that historcally french fries were created in Paris in the 19th century so french fries are really FRENCH !

Quebecois French has long been mocked for its rough-and-tumble sound, but this version of French is more likely what 17th-Century French aristocracy spoke - including the king. This is the title of an article made by the BBC about it.

French fries are from Paris. The Belgian just made it their speciality.

Did she say "dans ma partie de "FRANCE"?😂. And he wasnt supposed to catch that?

For me who is French it was very easy 😂👌🏻

Quebec accent sounds like the Australian version of French.

Just in France alone you have very different accents (and regional languages as well). But I guess it would be hard to find young people speaking with the South-West french accent in Korea... Likewise for overseas accents.

6:47 children can get accent from their parents and familly. I think it's the "R" prononciation, that comes from the throat.

should have gotten someone speaking cajun american french too haha, would have thrown them off

"ouiiii j'aime bien regarder la TV" ...uhhhh TV? Ahhhh Québec

I think it would be more fun if we do don’t get any obvious clues(from thumbnail) or other bits. We should have to guess too

Ok but how was maple syrup and poutine not a dead giveaway 😭😂

Rien qu'en France, il y a des accents ou des mots différents dans toutes les régions..... même dans certaines situations : par exemple dans le nord on dit ' diner' pour le déjeuner, ou 'chicon' pour une endive.....bon courage pour faire le tri !

Les Québecois disent "magasiner" ? Wow XD

Chère Dame (3:39) J'ai l'honneur de vous remettre cette missive remplie d'intrigue à votre égard. Oui, j'ai été plus qu'ébahi par votre sourire angélique, votre façon de vous exprimer coordonné par votre accent belge, en harmonie avec votre fabuleuse coupe de cheveux afro en parfaite philharmonie de vos yeux amendes... Les mots me manquent, afin de poursuivre mes flatteries... Je ne suis guère polyglotte à l'inverse de vous. Plait-il à mes yeux, comme à mon cœur chavirant entièrement à votre égard ! "Mais que me veut-il" vous diriez vous ? Ma Dame, laissez moi vous déposer une simple requête ; me feriez-vous l'honneur de me fournir votre Insta-missive ? Dans une éventualité ou ma missive, n'arrive point à bon port, je tacherai d'avoir eu comme souvenir de vous, un magnifique sourire d'une colombe lâchée signifiant la paix et l'harmonie à travers les peuples du monde. Respectueusement,

do it with the antilles, la réunion, and africa

I would have guessed Canada immediately but not France and Belgium. Would have been great and interesting if there had also been someone from Switzerland since one part of it is French speaking. Great video!

Please find someone from Geneva who can represent Swiss French. 🇨🇭

When I hear Metropolitan French and Quebecois side by side, the differences are so obvious. But when I just randomly hear it, without knowing anything about the person, I honestly can't tell😂

For "who's famous from your country" if she had said "Pierre et Marie sont fameux, mais Marie n'est pas d'ici", would you have gotten it?

Good job, being Canadian, as soon as Poutine was mentioned, I smiled. You can tell the difference in the accents.

It was funny to watch. Note that in Europe, there are many other countries speaking French : Switzerland, Luxembourg, Monaco, ... The main difference for the Belgian gild is the way her "r" were being pronounced. For me the Canadian and the French were instantly obvious. It took me a bit more to guess the Belgian one. Also there are so many French accents in France and in Belgium that you could have taken several people from all around the countries and have an even more difficult test.

Man surrounded by model girls must be the one thumbnail this channel loves making the most

Quebecois they talk like they are singing. Love it. Accent from France is more brutal .

9:01 gave it away lol

Im guessing there will be several videos about different french accents? Can’t wait 🎉

You did well, Meg!! 🥰🥰

Welcome

This is the result of the Colonies. We have French Overseas Territories scattered across the Globe, mostly islands. We 🟦⬜🟥 have the most Time zones Secretly the 5th Largest Country in the World (bigger than Brazil) The Bristish are in fact is our Colonial Empire Rival For example, Canada and Québec are the result of our colonies 🇨🇵🟦⚜️⚔️🇬🇧🟥👑

But can they all understand each other in French? "Canadian, Belgian, and Parisian varieties have some differences. They are mutually intelligible to some extent. But when a Canadian is speaking to someone from France, the accents might create a problem for them. However, it is only natural for a vernacular to develop its unique features."

French Canadian accent came from the old french spoke around Normandy!

Cotoyant des belges il y a les intonations la mélodie oui mais j’ai pas entendu de houite et de « savoir » ce genre d’expression beaucoup utilisées mais surtout oui elle a un leger accent africain meme si elle n’y est jamais allée elle reproduit les sons de son entourage (que ce soit famille ou amis) qui semble pas parler le belge pur en tout cas. Notamment qu’elle dit parler 6 langues donc c’est tout a fait remarquable. Ce n’etait pas le plus facile je trouve (au contraire pour les français le québécois etait le plus simple a deviner)

Idk why but as soon as I heard the first girl talk I knew she was from Québec- Guess that’s just like an instinct since I live in Canada- French Canadian is just so different from French it’s just easy for me to tell for some reason
