Benny often expressed his affection for Québec and Québec French, so he ran a guest post
I wrote on Québécois, where I also provide concrete examples with audio recordings. Arekkusu Guest Post On Québécois 6 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Great post! I'm still super keen on this course of yours. Too bad I've got too much on my plate at the moment, and even if I did learn Québecois, I'd be hard pressed to find an occation to use it. Is there any media produced in it? Movies and TV series, for example? Or even books with Québecois dialog?

Hi Arekkusu, very interesting. I would be very interesting in buying your Québécois en 10 leçons as an e-book, so have you considered self-publishing on Amazon or simliar?

Thanks Ari! It's essentially a spoken language because the written form follows mostly standard French conventions, with small differences. However, Québec produces a lot of TV and movies for its size. You can find lots on Youtube. There are also lots of webseries, such as En audition avec Simon (audition) 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Lulu works just as well as Amazon. They do the printing and the shipping and it works really well. I am considering selling it as an e-book, but not quite yet. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

You can also hear a lot of spoken Québécois on TV5, but just as with Swiss German, (Anglo-) Scots and other local variants of major languages it will probably be close to impossible to find printed stuff like books and magazines - it is all spelled according to the French French Standard. I don't even remember having seen written Québécois ...

Michel Tremblay has a few books that do, such as La grosse femme d'à côté est enceinte, or Les belles-soeurs (which is really a play, though). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Absolutely. In the "Super Challenge Registration and Updates" thread I posted about 20 updates briefly reviewing TV series and movies - all original québécois content, no dubbed stuff. I have about 30 more québécois moves to watch but my challenge is temporarily stalled. As for books, this level of language is most evident in bande dessinée as it is spoken dialog. There is "Colocs en Stock" Tintin en québécois. The dialog in this book is very strong québécois, likely too strong as I think the author felt the need to distinguish it as much as possible from the original standard French version "Coke en Stock". People have told me that they appreciate the book but to forget it as few people speak like that. More realistic and accessible are the series of books by Michel Rabagliati like "Paul à Québec" and others.
