Quebec French phonology
Okay kiddo, so let's talk about Quebec French phonology. In simpler terms, we're going to talk about how people in Quebec speak French.
First, let's talk about some sounds that are unique to Quebec French. One of these is the "t" sound at the end of words like "chat" (which means "cat" in English) or "dans" (which means "in" in English). In Quebec French, these words are pronounced with a "ch" sound, so "chat" would sound like "sha" and "dans" would sound like "danch".
Another sound you might hear in Quebec French is the "ou" sound. It's pronounced like "oo" in words like "route" (which means "road" in English) or "boutique" (which means "shop" in English). In Quebec French, this sound is pronounced more like "oo-ee", so "route" would sound like "roo-ee-t" and "boutique" would sound like "boo-ee-teek".
Now let's talk about accents. In Quebec French, people don't always pronounce words the same way that people from France do. For example, in French, the word "bien" (which means "good" in English) is pronounced with more of a "bee" sound, but in Quebec French, it's pronounced more like "byen".
Another example is the word "bonjour" (which means "hello" in English). In French, it's pronounced with more of a "bohn" sound, but in Quebec French, it's pronounced more like "bawn-jour".
These are just a few examples of how Quebec French differs from other French accents. Remember, everyone speaks differently, and that's okay!
