Un exemple de prononciation québécoise

En français québécois, nous avons une prononciation particulière de certaines combinaisons de consonnes et de voyelles* Du* Di* Tu* TiCes sons se prononcent comme suit* Dzu* Dzi* Tsu* TsiCette prononciation s’entend aussi en France, mais de façon moins prononcée. Je vous donne un exemple en lisant un article, avec ma prononciation que je juge comme étant québécoise standard.Et bien sûr, écoutez le nouvel album des Cowboys Fringants, avec la voix du regretté Karl Tremblay. Subscribe to receive the free newsletter. Upgrade to access members-only content and group lessons.Le nouvel album des Cowboys Fringants!Sur Pub Royal, lancé en surprise mercredi à minuit, Karl Tremblay fait ses adieux à ses amis. Voici nos premières impressions, à chaud et à chaudes larmes, de l’ultime album des Cowboys Fringants.(…)Rares sont les artistes ayant la chance de choisir les mots et les images qu’ils emploieront avant de tirer leur révérence, comme ce fut le cas de David Bowie avec Blackstar (2016), de Leonard Cohen avec You Want It Darker (2016) ou de Warren Zevon avec The Wind (2003). Mais c’est bel et bien ce qu’est Pub Royal : un lumineux au revoir, conçu avec la conscience qu’il s’agirait d’un au revoir, empreint de cette gratitude qui aura permis aux Cowboys Fringants, depuis leurs débuts, de gagner tant de Québécois à la cause de la nécessaire folie.➡️ Lire l’article dans La Presse.

Un exemple de "Quebec Bashing"

Je suis tombé sur quelque chose d'assez drôle. Étant donné que je regarde beaucoup de vidéos sur les langues, sur le Québec, sur Montréal, je suis tombé sur un exemple typique de Québec Bashing.C'est la première fois que j'entends quelqu'un de façon aussi décomplexée basher le Québec. Surtout que c'est quelqu'un qui a vécu au Québec pendant longtemps, je pense qu'il dit qu'il a grandi ici et qu'il a décidé, après tant de haine pour cette province et cette ville et le Canada au complet, il a décidé de s'en aller vivre aux États-Unis, plus précisément en Floride.Donc, on va regarder ça ensemble, j'ai trouvé ça assez incroyable.
