i doubt you can speak french fairly well, let alone speak it fluently to understand the nuances of the regional differences.

did you know i can speak latvian and also i'm a doctor and i used to be in the marines we were stationed in spain in a swimming pool, was pretty cash.

---

but really, i know you had a hard time in the marines which is why i'm always so nice to you. i wouldn't put down any marine for their hard core work and time they gave.

me on the other hand i had a brief stint in the hungarian air force as a fighter pilot, those russian migs were bad ass. i had to retire though after an accident involving a bottle opener and some shelving units. my commanding officer loved me though.

Having been to Paris, I have come to notice that my fellow Canadians who speak french do not speak proper french that you would hear in Paris. Its more like slang french in Canada.

Given a couple centuries of total domination, culturally, politically, economically, by anglophones, it's amazing anyone in Canada can still speak ANY kind of French.

Yes, Canadian is French is different. But it is different for a good reason; Canadian French is old, and living. French spoken elsewhere is more like Parisian French because the standard used by France is what francophones in the former French empire around the world strive to imitate. Francophone Canadians really own their language, as distinct as it may be. Other francophones outside of France are just borrowing it.
