Allô!! J'ai une évaluation dans un couple de jours pour les figures de styles et Cyrano de Bergerac. J'aimerais juste savoir s'il y a quelqu'un qui a des activités d'association/identification pour les figures de style dans Cyrano. Merci!
I’ve made the decision, for a few reasons, to make things somewhat harder on myself by utilizing as much as possible primarily resources that focus specifically on conversational Canadian French rather than on formal Parisian French. I have only a small amount of pre-existing understanding of the language. Given that I have no plans of travelling to France and will only use the language conversationally/casually here in Canada, this makes the most sense to me. It also culturally makes more sense to learn my own country’s dialect. But I wanted to make a little review of some learning/teaching resources I’ve tried, and invite other learners to maybe add their own.

Languages101 Canadian French: TERRIBLE. They have the absolute gall to charge hundreds of dollars for their online ‘courses’ which are really just one single memory recall activity repeated forever for infinity with no variation. I am still waiting for them to confirm the cancellation of my free trial and I’m worried they’re going to keep my money and I’ll have to dispute it with the bank. Absolutely do not get this.
uTalk: I like this one! A male and female French Canadian voice for each word and phrase. I wouldn’t use it as my only resource, but it’s definitely my favourite app so far. You can pay to skip through it quickly but it’s very doable and useful without paying, I have not paid for it. However, it is more for learning useful vocabulary and phrases, it won’t teach you how to use the grammar to assemble new sentences.
Learn Canadian French by Pierre Lévesque: I really like this book! You’ll definitely want to listen to the audio too, which you can find on his Facebook. It discusses a lot of the points where casual conversational Canadian French will vary from what we’re taught in French class in Anglo-Canadian schools, which is a very proper, unrealistic Metropolitan French (at least in my experience).
Mauril app: I really like this to support learning! Not the primary learning tool, but a great addition. Basically, it takes short little clips from CBC and Radio-Canada shows and makes a tiny mini lesson based on each clip, asking the learner to interpret the real conversation clip. I think this will really help for ability to understand rapidly spoken language in natural speech. Note it only works in Canada, so if you’re not in Canada you would need to use a VPN.
Cudoo Canadian French: haven’t tried it yet. Seems short and intended for bare bones getting by from what I can tell on the website, like intro survival phrases for travellers.
Méthode Par Ici: Québécois learning and teaching grammar and workbook. Haven’t started this yet but I’m very excited to. Would love to hear if anybody else has tried these.
Bonjour. Je suis un anglophone Ontarien, mais la Français est ma deuxieme langue, et je le parle depuis que je suis 5 ans. Après que j’ai fini mes études secondaires, j’ai réalisé que je n’avais pas un moyen veritable pour pratiquer mon Français (sans rendre visite au Québec, mais c’est trop loin pour moi).
Au moment, je cherche pour un podcast que je peut écouter pour renforcer mon Français. Es-que vous avez des recommandations?
Merci!
