Funny funny funny

I'm learning French, actually Quebec French, to move to Quebec City with my girlfriend. You must realize that Canadian French (and slang) is different in Montreal than in Quebec City than in Gaspe than in ... Anyways, she found this book hilarious because it does capture the slang that she uses. And she finds it even more hilarious when I try to speak this way too ...

Good if your going to Montreal

I think this is a fun book~ but only if your going to Montreal or Quebec City.

Achetez ce libre icitte!!

This is an excellent, light hearted look at the unique and beautiful québécois dialect. It's fun, easy reading and the pictures used to illustrate the words, as well as the amusing examples of word usage, help you to memorise the terms and use them properly. An ideal step up from this would be a "teach yourself" style quebec french book with audio tracks and dialogue, because reading the words is no comparison to hearing quebec french in all its glory. That's my next step! This book will make you yearn for at least a holiday to la belle province!

Joyful Joual!

This book is great, especially for learners of French. I bought it as a guide to the dialect of Quebec for a project I was doing in my French class and found it fascinating. I am going to study French in Quebec this summer and found that a lot of the phrases this book contains are used there. This book is also wonderful for anyone who is interested in dialectology!
