Oh no! Sacre Bleu! Je suis desolee parisla
4:41 pm

please excuse our rusty French - haven't had occasion to use it for over 15 years
4:41 pm
FrenchToast

Mine isn't even rusty. It's butchered. I call it froglish.
4:43 pm
cybernan

fr 4 for the quebecois is a derogatory term, French - I realize that you are probably not aware
4:43 pm
FrenchToast

frog?
4:44 pm
FrenchToast

No I did not realize, so sorry!
4:45 pm
parisla

I'll never be offended by someone trying! It's a hard language to master. A lot of French people butcher it. And I don't take credit for all things French (or blame for that matter).
4:46 pm
FrenchToast

Very nice, thank you parisla
4:46 pm
Gillie

I don't know that "frog" is all that offensive - I had a French (Parisian, actually) teacher who liked to decorate our assignments with cartoon frogs
4:47 pm
cybernan

thank you parisla - that's something I came to realize on our visits to France - the people did seem to appreciate me trying and would quickly switch to English if they thought their English was better than my French (Which wasn't hard)
4:47 pm
FrenchToast

Hahah, yes me too nan.
4:48 pm
Gillie

He also did caricatures of various students, though never me, sadly
4:49 pm
Gillie

I think he really wanted to be an artist full-time
4:51 pm
FrenchToast

Were you a student in Paris, Gillie?
4:52 pm
Gillie

No, this was in Canada - I was in a bilingual program (half my courses taught in French). Most of the teachers were from Quebec, originally, but he was from France
4:54 pm
FrenchToast

Oh Mon Dieu! I have so many LI words to trouve.
4:55 pm
parisla

I never lived in Canada so I can't comment on the insulting level of the word there. But then, I usually find people are offensive, not the word itself. And appropriating that language (as your professor seemed to have been doing) may be a good way to defuse its harmfulness.
4:57 pm
Gillie

Well, I don't think any of us ever thought to call him a frog, but I haven't really heard of that being used as an insult against people in Quebec either
4:57 pm
Gillie

Although in my province there are a lot of people who say rude things about Quebecers, unfortunately
4:58 pm
cybernan

my French teacher in high school was from Grenoble. We didn't have French teachers in the elementary grades nor French immersion. French speaking teachers in Quebec didn't want to move to an English speaking province so it was a challenge to find enough teachers to teach French in high school.
4:59 pm
cybernan

It was used in an offensive manner when I lived in PQ, but that was in the early 70's
4:59 pm
FrenchToast

My French teacher in high school , Madame Stribling, was American. But my professor in college was French. I forget her name. She was so tough.
4:59 pm
Gillie

I think Alberta may be about the worst province for anti-Quebec sentiment, but they still managed to find enough teachers (the program started in Junior High)
5:00 pm
cybernan

started in Grade 9 here
5:03 pm
cybernan

It may have been the times, Gillie -- it was the beginning of the separatist movement - Pierre Laporte was assassinated and Trudeau had enforced the riot act.
5:04 pm
Gillie

It wasn't much later than that, honestly
5:04 pm
Gillie

a few years
5:10 pm
Gillie

Before that, in elementary school, I think I had only one French teacher who's first language was actually French, and she seemed to care more about our pronunciation than our comprehension
5:11 pm
Gillie

(whose, I mean)
5:14 pm
