Are the differences between Quebec French and French French more

>>75648573
Maybe a little more different yeah, especially with slang and informal speech.

>>75648573
I don't know about the Portuguese/French

But I remember when I took Spanish in HS, the teacher said that we learned Spanish Spanish, but even if we became fluent it'd be unlikely we'd understand Mexican Spanish.

Also why the FUCK do they call molasses "treacle"

>>75648845
Because it trickles out of the jar

So they call this the "Great Treacle Flood"?

All the mexicans in my high school got awful grades in spanish.

Meanwhile my chilean friend, and another from argentina, spoke so well that they weren't allowed to take spanish because it was a free A, so they took Italian instead.

That's also because Spanish in school is largely about reading and writing, but they aren't well versed in reading and writing even though they speak fluently

Why I'm not surprised?

Anyway, this reminds me of some Peruvian girls in Japan that used to get bad grades in Spanish because they don't speak the oshtia tio shaval one.

Edible molasses is black treacle. The molasses in that flood was not.

Mexicans are dumb as fuck so I'm not surprised.

The differences between Portuguese and Brazilian are even more noticeable than British and American.

Their accent is a lot more open and sing-songy and they have a couple different grammar rules like pronoun positions in sentences.

The vocabulary (especially slang) is also noticeably different, and they seem to use more archaic words in most cases: i.e. they use falar (speak) instead of dizer (say) in more situations and colocar (place) instead of pôr (put) and things like that more often than we do.

It's still interchangeable, though.

>>75648573
Mexican Spanish is alien tier. Argie Spanish too, but we've been more exposed to it because we share a lot of media so some of their slang is common knowledge, kinda like you and the Brits.

>>75654766
give me some examples of Argie slang, por favor

>>75648573
Difference between Quebec French and French French is mainly the accent and some expression they use that we don't and vice versa. There is no big difference

>treacle vs molasses
>jam vs jelly
Not actually the same thing

>>75654539
pretty much this for québec french/french french

they use words and expressions that are either archaic and not used here anymore or adapted straight from english
same goes for pronouns (they say "tu veux-tu" or "le soleil se repointera le bout de son nez" for example) and some adverbs (idk why but they use the adverbial construction -là all the time while it's not very necessary)

This also applies to Spain/Latam. More singsongy accents, simplified phonetics and grammar, archaisms, more English and less French loanwords. Then the usual differences in vocabulary

>Are the differences between Quebec French and French French more significant

It's mostly the pronunciation that is different, we need to hear some sentences before understanding something.
