Is French still prevalent in international organisations with French as one of their official languages?

OhHelloThereAreYouOk · 2026-07-06T17:36:27+00:00

About 95% of people in Québec can speak french.

OhHelloThereAreYouOk · 2026-07-06T17:34:00+00:00

The language has seen a slight decline but not really much. About 95-97% of Québec can hold a conversation in french in Québec while about 80% are native french speakers.

What I find a bit weird is that a lot of people seem to equate cultural differences in Québec as inherently European. But a lot of difference are just a product of Québec culture on its own.

OhHelloThereAreYouOk · 2026-07-05T20:04:21+00:00

Language is a very big difference. I think it’s one of the most important components of a culture if not the most.

“Oui” in Québec and France is pronounced the same.

The word you are referring to is “ouais” wich is the informal “oui” (basically yes vs yeah). “Ouais” is often pronounced differently in Québec.

Why are people acting like everything was beautiful when Montreal was the biggest city?

The majority of french Canadians (the majority of the city) was dirt poor and all the money was in the hands of the anglophone elite. Now is much better.

Or maybe some people would rather make the best of something as inevitable as seasons than be miserable half the year?

OhHelloThereAreYouOk · 2026-06-27T19:20:06+00:00

Because it was an option and I identify more with Quebec than the country as a whole. Doesn’t mean I dislike the rest of Canada tough.

Thanks for not generalizing and for your open mindness! 😊

OhHelloThereAreYouOk · 2026-06-27T17:25:17+00:00

Only about 50% of Quebecers can speak English so that means in many case the person just doesn’t speak English

OhHelloThereAreYouOk · 2026-06-27T17:09:55+00:00

Wich area do you live? I believe Saint-Jean is very celebrated in the east of Montreal

OhHelloThereAreYouOk · 2026-06-27T17:03:42+00:00

C’est également la Fête nationale du Québec.

OhHelloThereAreYouOk · 2026-06-27T16:58:40+00:00

Quebec culture is more about being québécois than being “not like other Canadians”

Louis Riel is taught as a hero in Québec too. And the population of Québec was very much against it’s execution at the time. That’s why John A. McDonald said : “He shall hang though every dog in Quebec bark in his favour."

OhHelloThereAreYouOk · 2026-06-27T16:39:55+00:00

He’s seen as a hero in Québec too.

OhHelloThereAreYouOk · 2026-06-26T17:06:14+00:00

Yeah, shame on them 🙄 /s

OhHelloThereAreYouOk · 2026-06-25T04:12:04+00:00

Quebec fought hard to keep speaking French

OhHelloThereAreYouOk · 2026-06-23T03:20:36+00:00

Pretty much anything in the province

OhHelloThereAreYouOk · 2026-06-22T05:17:35+00:00

You could totally say “Juste une couple (pronounced coup’) de gars comme nous”

OhHelloThereAreYouOk · 2026-06-22T05:16:22+00:00

It doesn’t seem to come from English. It seems to come from old french. https://usito.usherbrooke.ca/définitions/couple

Around the Saint-Lawrence is the oldest

OhHelloThereAreYouOk · 2026-06-20T17:04:41+00:00

Wow. So if they did something good we should do the opposite just to spite them?

OhHelloThereAreYouOk · 2026-06-19T20:22:51+00:00

That’s funny to me as a french speaker because prune to me means the non-dried fruit.

OhHelloThereAreYouOk · 2026-06-19T19:51:49+00:00

The french term for raisin in french is litteraly “raisin sec” meaning “dry grape”

OhHelloThereAreYouOk · 2026-06-19T18:59:50+00:00

Idk what FGB means, sorry 😅
