Yes of course, although they lessen more and more as time goes by. The most recognizable is the one from the "Midi de la France", all around Marseilles. Old movies made in that area (specifically by Marcel Pagnol) used to be hilarious! Now if anyone francophone here has seen the "Taxi" series produced by Luc Besson in Marseilles, you can clearly see how it's not the same anymore .

For the topic: I can't really say anything because Alizée is the only person who I heard to speak english with french accent; and I cannot really differentiate the american and the british english. I know they're different, I can hear the different when I hear these two, one after the other but... If somebody would simply talking english, I couldn't tell, if he(/she)'s american or british.

Not all German women have an annoying accent (the one often used in American movies), Joanna (a German exchange student) had one of the sweetest accent I've heard, so I guess it depends on what part of Germany they are from. And back to the question I prefer the accent a native Parisian women has when speaking English to that of the British. As for Parisian French I'm still undecided as I haven't heard enough of it, but it seems less "colourful" than Québecois.(like our English is less "colourful" than Newfoundlander's )

Again, Parisians and the French have a nice accent that unfortunately is not usually found with French Canadians speaking English. Not sure why, probably because of the massive amount of exposure to English media that the French in Canada are exposed to, not saying that the French in Canada speak without an accent, I just don't find it enjoyable as a true French/Parisian accent.
Unfortunately for us though, as far as I know, speaking French with an English accent is not seen as being sexy like having a French accent when speaking English. Or is it? Being English I know how we respond to foreign accents (some good some bad), but how do English speakers speaking foreign languages with an English accent(not British, just any native English speaker) sound to native speakers of those languages? I know ultimately it is all a matter of personal opinion, but was curious what members of the international community thought. |
