Arcade Fire interview (in French)

[@lilalou2]

Régine is so adorable! She went to my high school!

[@apocryphalAntithesis]

HUH¿.???!?!?!? HOLY MOLY 😭😭😭😭😭

[@reformeddoomer6777]

Tabarnac j'écoute arcade fire depuis des années est jvien d'apprendre que le band est Montréalais!

[@horton188]

2:18 she says no..... Man i speak french so well :-)

[@CyrilleParis]

I'm French. French is my momther tongue. I had a girlfriend from Quebec. It requires me a lot of attention to follow what they say. Don't be depressed They have a very peculiar accent. And they speak about places from Canada I don't know about.

[@juliansmith4295]

The Joual accent of Montréal's really difficult to understand, but the rest of Québec's pretty easy, especially la ville de Québec. If you want to try a really difficult accent, try Nouveau Brunswick.

[@jeffburdick869]

Is the difference more significant than the English spoken in the UK and the English spoken in the US?

[@CyrilleParis]

@@jeffburdick869 I would say yes and no. I studied the phonology of English, both American and British and I've lived in both countries. It is still very subjective because I'd never really quantified those differences. 1- if you compare the accents in the interview and continental standard French, it is the same difference, more or less, than between British Received Pronunciation and Standard American. 2- If you compare southern French accent with, say, Sherbrooke accent, then the difference is more like between Mancunian and a deep Midland American accent. If people are not familiar with the other's accent, it sounds like two separate languages.

[@jeffburdick869]

@@CyrilleParis I took French 101 and my professor was from France. He went to visit Quebec during one of our breaks and he said he'd speak French to the people there, but the Quebecois would reply to him in English. I found that very interesting.

[@jeffburdick869]

@@CyrilleParis I have no issues understanding Mancs. Some of the Scottish accents though...I'm just like...was that English??

[@George-fe5mf]

She's cute even when you can't understand a word she's saying lol.

[@K89_]

You didn't understand "non"??🫣😆

[@amanniste]

Régine speaks flawless French and English. There is a touch of South Shore accent to (probably) both, but so slight that you would have to live in the Montreal region and really pay attention to notice it.

[@astrosdude91]

I didn't understand a word, but it's 8 minutes of my life you can keep! :) Very pretty language too. I've always thought that.

[@Cthulhussama]

@Inkblot1218 I'm french... It is not that easy to understand for me. The canadian accent is very strong and the language is a bit different.

[@maynardk3248]

Don't worry, it's because French people from Canada have a very special pronunciation. I'm french, and sometimes it's hard for me to understand what they're saying when they speak fast. Keep learnin dude :)

[@ngunners]

@musicandWriting77 I think you mean 'jamais' instead of 'ne' ... 'jamais'. The 'ne' is almost always dropped in spoken French. Vive Arcade Fire!

[@canuck21]

The "ne" is not always dropped. I do say the "ne" if I talk formally, but between friends I may drop it.

[@avatarpablo]

I don't understand a shit. Still great interview, they're Arcade Fire!!

[@laurahoch3755]

Ohh...Thank you!!

[@ispyonu20]

@julienalexandre ok first of all OUR french is NOT a bad French so please do not confuse us! it's more or less like and English from Australia or from New Zealand.

[@jclevgmailcom]

The Taschereau Boulevard, Main st from her hometown, Brossard

[@laurahoch3755]

Je aime Arcade Fire !!

[@marshhen]

Elle est charmante et naturelle. J'aime bien son attitude.

[@jpber6665]

hooo l'entrevue ne monte pas du tout ... dommage pour une fois que l'on a Arcade fire en français.

[@L0veepanicc]

there is something sooooo sexy about win butler omfg

[@ispyonu20]

@MrElectricdude sure... my pleasure! ;)

[@andremunro8840]

Aller un show à Montréal en 2025 svp!!!

[@Balkanchux]

@HeartandSoul59 Oui, c'est comme les groupes brits et américains, il est parfois difficile de connaître leur origine lorsqu'ils chantent :)

[@marcolai9782]

I seen Jacques Villeneuve in the video

[@ynass80]

@BehindTheSea29 Regine grew up in Quebec

[@bigcountryspoundcake4513]

I wanna learn french so bad, im canadiab so itd be great to open up doors to a french demographic.

[@patrinabird]

frickin' camera keeps moving. Nowadays we have tripods.

[@ispyonu20]

@Ruby95v me too.. and I speak it! :P

[@timeforachange12]

@HeartandSoul59 La majorité des chanteurs et chanteuses québecois chantent avec un accent neutre, en effet.

[@beeceebee1]

@Boddah45 Par curiosité, dans quelle partie du Québec apprends-tu le français?

[@ispyonu20]

@allnightdwight I am not badmouthing Australia or New Zealand so chill out dude! No, I didnt feel like saying English from America... De plus, le français qu'on parle au Québec n'est pas mauvais comme beaucoup de gens le pense.

[@KrisMTL]

She was born in Montreal and grew up on the south shore, I sure hope she has a Quebecois accent.

[@gillesbourgeois5348]

Your hope is granted, I'm french and, of course, any Quebequois speaks Québéquois, not only French with accent but their own expressions, like old French.

[@thehappiestcamper]

3 years of French in high school and I learn POOP! *depressed*

[@recordechoes]

Hey, he has the album art I have!!! (the parking lot)

[@timeforachange12]

3:06 Est-ce Jacques Villeneuve ?

[@Ruby95v]

Damn I love french.

[@haileyb.4936]

le français du Quebec est très jolie mais il est parfois difficile pour moi de comprendre. Regine est si charmante!!!

[@La-Musca]

On ne peut plus commenter ou répondre à quelqu'un maintenant ?

[@La-Musca]

AH ! Je peux répondre à mon propre commentaire et même le "dislike" si je veux, mais ça ne m'aide pas plus !

[@arbjork]

Franz Morin-Mor haha dafuq yes ;p

[@DuduEspoir]

Régine is sooooo cute!

[@Unknow139]

Wow ses la premiere fois que je vois autant ''d'américain'' et de francais de France aimer vouloir parler le québécois!

[@TheVeronyc]

Quebec french is proper french thank you.

[@laurahoch3755]

What is Régine shouting at 2.26??

[@ameliel1096]

Laura Hoch She's shouting "Le boulevard Tashereau!" because he said they've both been raised near that boulevard

[@IdleAramchek]

Le Boulevard Taschereau!

[@laurahoch3755]

oh my god...I'm glad to speaking english and german...but french =)

[@rareflorence]

@musicandWriting77 jamais pas is incorrect

[@timeforachange12]

@AnnaBananax2 Well I didn't hear him...

[@ispyonu20]

@MrElectricdude learn! :P

[@xdestroymecarefully]

This is the most I've ever heard Régine speak, and I don't even understand it. French 2 just does not help with this, haha. It's really fun to watch though :)

[@mortalweedbath666]

Régine est tellement cute

[@suburbs777]

Jsavais pas que Jeremy parlait et comprenait le FR. Le gars qui pose les questions me tappe sur les nerfs en criss.

[@L0veepanicc]

l'interviewer posait les pires questions sérieux .. t'oublies pas d'où tu viens.. he was just making ignorant assumptions about the band and you could tell it was aggravating Régine

[@szeloklau7380]

Par "boulevard Taschereau", j'assume que c'est celui a Brossard... OU J'HABITE ET OU MON AUTOBUS PASSE CHAQUE JOUR POUR ALLER A L'ECOLE! (si c'est pas ce que je pense, je vais avoir l'air d'une folle, mais bon...)

[@szeloklau7380]

Je me demande si j'ai deja rencontrer Regine alors...

[@patrinabird]

no se lo que dicen.

[@MrElectricdude]

ugh! I wish I knew how to speak French :(

[@hailie_Selassie]

REGINE OUR HAITIAN SIGNER

[@y.a.83]

Regine Chassagne is so hot!

[@vivmespotes]

Un eug de groupeu hahaha

[@ispyonu20]

@xdestroymecarefully looool... u have to learn French so you understand what she's sayin! :P

[@barabaspolo6510]

c'est bizarre, car elle chante parfaitement en francais, comme en Ile-de-France, mais quand elle parle je ne comprends carrement rien.

[@gillesbourgeois5348]

ça s'appelle "le Québéquois", c'est "presque" du Français-là! ;D

[@MrElectricdude]

@ispyonu20 teach me? lol.

[@KrisMTL]

You didn't apply yourself enough, tbh.

[@Inkblot1218]

I wish they didn't speak so fast ... XD. My meager grade-nine French didn't suffice.

[@gillesbourgeois5348]

same with american interview, or english as well: they speak too fast for my English school level...Oh I'm French by the way!

[@marshhen]

Anglos learning french in Québec should just keep trying to learn about all the different kinds of french here. Like the wild variety of English you might encounter in a Calgary mall or a rural Ontario coffee shop. Anglos do not notice how varied english is because they usually know only one language and in generally have little awareness of it. Québec french is full of english syntax in places like Montreal because the kids are all so bilingual and surrounded by anglos like you.

[@allnightdwight]

@ispyonu20 hey hey stop badmouthing australia and new zealand. you coulda said "english from america" but no you had badmouth us. merci mon chum :|

[@vincentetmoi]

0:54 Marc-André Grondin 0:57 Anne-Marie Withenshaw

[@barabaspolo]

singer, not signer, she is not signing anything

[@barabaspolo]

Merde, je comprends pas trop ce qu'ils disent, surtout le mec qui fait l'interview. L'accent est trop pour moi, et la prononciation de mots est vraiment bizarre.

[@thewhiterabbit7548]

It ain't proper French, it's Canadian French. This is more or less like Jamaïcan or Indian English for you guys : exotic but still understandable :-) Great gig last Wednesday in Marseilles! Arcade Fire forever!

[@SRangerMtl]

Trop magnifique. Et Sébastien Diaz est un jerk. Bye.
