If you like reading OffQc, you’ll like reading this ebook. It revolves around 75 mini lessons. Each mini lesson begins with an example sentence taken from the conversational level of French.
You’ll explore the 75 example sentences in depth, helping you to understand informal contractions and omitted words in spontaneous speech, frequently used Québécois vocabulary and expressions, important features of pronunciation (like how â, d and t sound), and how tu is used informally to ask yes-no questions.
At the end of the ebook, there’s a set of exercises with answers that you can complete to test your knowledge.

I’ve written this ebook for those of you with a base in French but who’d now like to begin discovering spoken features of Québécois French. You can also use this ebook to review your knowledge. It’s my hope that C’est what? will help to make listening to French more enjoyable by providing you with the keys you need to make sense of what you hear.
You’ll learn how words like sur, dans, à, je, tu, il, elle, ils, plus, etc., can transform in spontaneous speech. You’ll find many examples of using Québec’s infamous tu to ask yes-no questions. You’ll learn or review vocabulary typical to Québec, like niaiser, capoter, pogner, tanné, cave, poche, plate, là. You’ll discover ways to make your French sound more natural when you speak. Each mini lesson includes usage and pronunciation tips.
In addition to the 75 example sentences that each mini lesson is based on, there are about another 200 example sentences included in the lesson notes.
Once you’ve worked through this ebook, you’ll begin to understand things in spoken French that you missed entirely before. If that sounds like good news to you, you can get the ebook here! :-)
