Salut to all my native French speakers of RVF.
I am preparing for my summertime trip to Quebec, and I need a NATIVE French speaking player here to teach me conversational social French.
I don't care too much for learning business/job interview extremely formal french, just enough French to carry intermediate level conversations in social situations when talking to French women, and basic French manners.
I'd like to learn French slang too, and when to use it, and how to use it to build attraction/comfort with local Quebec women.
Building trust and comfort in French as it directly relates to French or Quebec culture.
Building quick rapport in French and saying things to make girls connect with you.
I'd like to practice this for 1-2hrs every other day for the next 5 months over Skype/google/Ichat video sessions.
I am willing to pay $$$ (via Paypal), OR trade teaching you social Spanish.
PM whomever is interested in details. You quote your rate.
Salut!

Just FYI Quebec French and French is very different so if you are going to Montreal you will need someone from Quebec not from France. For example "gosse" in France means kid and in Quebec it means testicle (not a fun thing to mess up). Also, the accent is completely different so much so that in France the movies from Quebec all have subtitles with translations so if you learn from a French person you may not understand girls in Montreal.
Well it's not really true , In Québec we do a lot of traduction because we have a more international language when we translate . The movies with subtitles would be I guess movies with slang . It's the same things with us, I can't understand French argo slang . They don't use it often eighter . Anyway both have their own slang and accent we can't deny it . But , French don't speak a better french because they live in France . It's just different . I think He will be find if a French guy give him the basic , it's the same language it's not because we speak in a slang that we don't understand the french accent .
I didn't say you guys spoke in slang actually quite the opposite your French is more true to the old school French than in France. And we use argot all the time it is like 10% of the vocabulary. I have never been to Quebec but I have talked to some and they can understand only 70% of what I say. And also we use sous titres because most people just don't understand the accent. For some reason because I speak English, the Quebec accent is actually not hard to understand just really bizarre. Besides that, you are right that Mixx could still learn the basics in either place and easily go to the other, I am only sayings this about understanding slang and being close to fluent.
Speaking of argot do you guys use vachement (tellement) and flic (policier) for argot or no?
