Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live everyday as if it were your last.

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

C'est vrai, Nibs.

The most beautiful French I have ever heard spoken was by a French Canadian named Francois LeBlanc who worked with the government there in some department to do with heritage or rail trails (I used to go to Ottawa for both so can't remember which it was). Lyrical and pure poetry. Perfect diction and enunciation. I lived in France for four years but have lost just about all of it - nobody to practice on. :(

I found him on the Net .. http://www.icomos.org/~fleblanc/profile_e.html Sure would like to hear him talk again.

Do any of you Quebec people know of him? Have you ever heard him speak at anything?

Hi gramma! I can't speak for all Québécois/es, but I've never heard of him. I'll try to find one of his recordings and I'll let you know what I think :-)

Tu as bien raison, bsud!

Saviez-vous qu'au Québec, il y a différents accents?

-L'accent gaspésien (Mélange entre la France et les Acadiens)
-L'accent madelinois (Encore plus prononcé que l'accent gaspésien)
-L'accent Saguenéen (Tsé lâ lâ)
-L'accent Montréalais (Ils roulent les "r")

-Les gens de la région de Québec (la ville) sont ceux qui parlent le mieux français au Québec, et sans accent. Où devrait-on dire, l'accent Québécois?

Il est souvent possible de dire d'où vient la personne juste à l'entendre parler.

I wonder what French would sound like coming from someone in the deep Southern US? :dyinglaughing:
