Le Québec parle - aux Français - Part 3

Difficulty: difficulty - Advanced Advanced

Canada

La situation de la langue française est complexe et controversée. Montréal était une ville anglophone jusque dans les années 1920, et ce n'est qu'à partir de l'adoption de la Loi 101 que le français est devenue la langue officielle du Québec. La loi n'a pas toujours été bien reçue, et la langue française n'en est pas pour autant protégée. D'après l'opinion de certaines personnes interrogées dans cette vidéo, la langue française est de nouveau dans une situation précaire avec l'apparition d'affichages en anglais, l'usage de l'anglais dans le monde des affaires, et même dans les magasins où on refuse de parler français.

Difficulty: difficulty - Advanced Advanced

Canada, France

In part seven of this series on Quebec, Olivier focuses on something that is dear to the hearts of many Québécois: the majestic Saint Lawrence River. He also explores their relationship with money and the way they conduct business. Olivier asks whether it's easier to do business in Quebec or in France. Quebec, it seems, offers more opportunities for companies, with fewer regulations and restrictions, while France remains a very productive country despite the thirty-five-hour workweek.

Le Québec parle - aux Français - Part 4

Difficulty: difficulty - Advanced Advanced

Canada, France

One might think that the push to remove anglicisms from the French language would be stronger in France, but the larger movement to "purify" French is actually happening in Quebec. Many Québécois worry that the French language is endangered in Canada, and the Quebec government has taken measures to preserve it by inventing new words instead of borrowing from English. That's why an email is still un email in France, but un courriel in Quebec.
