If this list makes sense to you, you’ve learned to speak French like the Québécois. Congratulations!
1. You pronounce â like the sound the doctor tells you to make when examining your throat.
2. You’d never call children gosses because that’s just vulgar and/or ridiculously funny.
3. You know the letter t in poutine isn’t pronounced like a t.
4. In the question tu m’aimes-tu?, you know the French word for “you” appears only once.
5. You know how to use the verb pogner in a sentence.
6. You can identify the subject and conjugated verb in chu.
7. You’re used to hearing là every ten seconds and have stopped trying to understand what it means in your language.
8. You no longer think people are welcoming you to Québec every time you say thank you.
9. You can both eat sloche in different flavours and get it in your boots in the winter.
10. Despite what some people outside Québec believe, you know beyond any doubt that nobody in Québec ever says tabernacle when angry.
