OMG! THAT IS SO TRUE! I just got through Spanish and (being from a German and Italian family), kept getting words confused so much, I thought I was just having brain problems left and right.
gets progressively worse if you use more than 2 languages. When i try to speak polish, forget word or two - insert english. When i try to speak russian and forget a word or two - insert polish. When i try to speak german and forget a word or two - insert russian. There is no winning.
I always love hearing them speak french randomly. The quebec accent and the language-mixing habits they describe here are just weirdly satisfying to me.
I'm from France and I love when they speak French because they have that Quebecois accent and it's pretty funny because all non-French speaker I hear go for the France accent.
Heavily anglicized french is one of my favourite things to hear, because for some god-forsaken reason, i was always taught French with the most pretentious ass accent. my girlfriend was put through french immersion and has a more english accent than i do when speaking
as an american who moved to quebec and ran into pat and woolie here, it is true. a weird ass place. heard this podcast 7 years ago, no idea what they were saying, now i understand them and its fucking cray.
Well, it doesn't help that many US schools teach bastardized Spark Notes Spanish, which takes the most common (or simplest) words from all dialects, but it's linguistically wrong and irritating for native speakers to hear. Also, the most common Spanish in the US is a derivative of Mexican Spanish, which has picked up a lot of non-standard slang ad grammar in it. I had a teacher in middle school who actually taught proper Castillian Spanish, but in high school Castillian would have given you a D grade in their Spanish classes. US Schools don't care about being correct by either official or local standards, and it's a detriment to the student.Gordinaus Lupenington de Loccia
i know french and english and my native language is romanian and boy when i dont know a french word i remember its almost the same in romanian but then i cant remember the one in romanian and then everything gets fucked
i always find it weird, when they speak french. they are from canada, it is quite an accent. watching their d4 videos, i always cringed, when i heard them saying "AVANTTTTTTTTTTTGARDE!". and, oh boy, GASKWANG....
that's because you only use french in Quebec, it's just not worth wasting your time learning a language that so few use, not to mention that people in other french speaking countries don't like Quebec french and would rather speak English.
Ambrose Fogarty Some easterners just don't like Albertans, probably because they aren't a welfare province and have to support half of Canada with equilization payments. I've never even heard one brag about it, it's always the east shitting on them like they're jealous or something.
Luis Ramos I went to a school that was 94% Latino and some kids would look at me when they couldn't remember a word in English and didn't want to do Spanglish. It turned into an inside meme.
Coming back to this and hearing them mention Garou is really weird because now, after having watched the Notre Dame de Paris musical from 1998, that name actually means something to me
I mean, I know the right translation for car is voiture but as a 34 years old with friends ranging from 25 to 57 i can't remember a single one ever saying that word. It's a fucking char haha! Où c'qui est ton char? Mange donc un char de marde! It is what it is, Québécois isn't the same as French *shrugs*
Hmmm i speek french english spanish and italian, i wonder if the fucked up accent comes just from canada? French people don't have such an incomprehensible accent
+mikeylambda1322 I'm french and I have way more trouble understanding them when they speak french than when they speak english. Quebecois is fucking weird.
In all seriousness, Pat's problem where he forgets words in one language is not uncommon in people who know more than one language.
+SorakuFett I tend to forgot words in French now that I speak a lot of English, it's the worst
+Kevin Kouki I feel your pain... especially when you are trying to incorporate Spanish and Italian into your brain.
+SorakuFett I know the problem man. Always tend to forget Polish words and just use english.
OMG! THAT IS SO TRUE!

Fucking "Tu es passé *building*" has to be one of my favorite things Pat has ever said lmao
It's so weird to hear them speak French
Speaking French then switching to English for words you don't know is very common here in New Brunswick, We refer to it as "Chiac"
What a Bizarre French-English Adventure
+AM2 Polnareff and Joseph hang out.
WORDS THAT KILL!!!!!!
WOULD YOU SPEAK THEM TO ME

Elvis Graton's entire humor is based on what feels like national inside-jokes. Like most humor stuff in Quebec.
Us Americans are like "what"

This is my favorite video on UA-cam.
It's pretty close to my favorite as well.
did they surrender?
French is to Canada as Spanish is to America.

Gordinaus Lupenington de Loccia dude i know your struggle all to well
Holy shit, hearing Pat speak french is so weird XD BTW, windshield is "Pare-brise" in french :3
This is out of bounds! Great video.
KWKBOX Thanks, although I can take little to no credit.

I was not ready for Les Cowboys Frigants reference
i always find it weird, when they speak french. they are from canada, it is quite an accent. watching their d4 videos, i always cringed, when i heard them saying "AVANTTTTTTTTTTTGARDE!". and, oh boy, GASKWANG....
+realcooler Most people in Canada learn french but can't actually use it, you know? It's not just an accent thing
+realcooler Thats also because Woolie thinks his French is way better than it is
Gaskwang.
that's because you only use french in Quebec, it's just not worth wasting your time learning a language that so few use, not to mention that people in other french speaking countries don't like Quebec french and would rather speak English.
Super Best Frenchs
Yeah! Pat s'débrouille bien en Français!
This one of the reasons why I love Canada's French/English multilingualism, it's the best!
+MrSlaide
What? Why? What'd I do :(

Les Cowboys Frigants, ahahahah, I didn't even remember that shit EXISTED. And now I have fucking Plus Rien stuck in my head, thanks guys.
Oh God damn it, me too. Fuck.
Aristograd yeah that about sums it up
this weird and interesting. I'm Mexican American
Luis Ramos I went to a school that was 94% Latino and some kids would look at me when they couldn't remember a word in English and didn't want to do Spanglish. It turned into an inside meme.
Good ol Spanglish
This was the best.
Coming back to this and hearing them mention Garou is really weird because now, after having watched the Notre Dame de Paris musical from 1998, that name actually means something to me
je suis français et je peux confirmer personne en dit "cowboy fringuant"
Super vieux commentaire mais c'est un groupe de musique 🙂
Sans lingua franca.
I mean, I know the right translation for car is voiture but as a 34 years old with friends ranging from 25 to 57 i can't remember a single one ever saying that word. It's a fucking char haha!
Où c'qui est ton char?
Mange donc un char de marde!
It is what it is, Québécois isn't the same as French *shrugs*
Quebecois feels close to being proper distinct from Parisian French.
hahahahaha i don't know french!
Haha neither do these fucklords!
Hmmm i speek french english spanish and italian, i wonder if the fucked up accent comes just from canada? French people don't have such an incomprehensible accent
+mikeylambda1322 I imagine Quebecois is its own unique accent and I think it's fairly heavy like this here.
+mikeylambda1322 I'm french and I have way more trouble understanding them when they speak french than when they speak english. Quebecois is fucking weird.
+mikeylambda1322 It probably is a regional thing, cajun french is also impossible to make out.
+mikeylambda1322 i'm from Québec they have a slight english accent still really comprehensible
+mikeylambda1322 You wanna hear a REALLY fucked up French-Canadian accent? Look up Psychedelic Eyeball.
Translate please
