Le Québec parle - aux Français - Part 4

Difficulty: difficulty - Advanced Advanced

Canada, France

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.
