There are so many books about anglo women experiences married to french men, I keep telling my french husband he should write a book about surviving his American wife.
French people do tend to use anglicisms. They use english words that looks like french words, is usually rooted in French, because William the Conqueror, and we use it for the English meaning. But that's because some of us watch too many American shows, not because we're trying to look fancy x)
French people definitely do not look down on English culture. On the food maybe, but that's about it, and acknowledging all the domains which are lost to us: humour ofc, music, etc.
Great job, haha but there are a few English words sprinkled in conversation while speaking (at least for young people), but in a French accent, so sometimes it sounds very far from the English word itself mdr
No - the French use English words all the time. Parking, Weekend.. And if you come to Canada, you will absolutely hear French people say "you know what I mean" in English at the end of a sentence. Young people often slip back and forth in conversation.
Canafians are not french. But indeed we french use a ton of english words, but those ate simply US inventions mostly, like e-mail (mail in short). And even then, we have a debate on how to frenchichy it (in this case courriel, because tradtional mail is "courrier"). We also (mis)use some words related to hollywood: star, people, pop culture
Don't know what she's on about in that last thing, French people love to drop English words for absolutely no reason. There are probably thousands of anglicismes (yes there is a word for it). Just the other day, I heard someone looking at a menu and going 'ah ouais, je vais prendre le chicken'
She should probably have been more specific about what she meant. It's true that there are a lot of English expressions in colloquial French, but when a French person says something like "le oueekend" he's probably not doing the same thing as the English person who pronounces, "Pièce de résistance" with all the accents carefully in place.
The French don't generally like what or how French Canadian speak. They don't even like the accents there. A French person said it's like comparing British English with the Hillbilly or Southern American English when it comes from Parisian (or in fact anywhere in France) and Canadian French.
At least you can ask French people living in Britain, and they’ll be able to understand and answer the question in English. Sorry, I got it wrong. The English living in France will also understand and answer the question in English. So, no big difference, eh?

I was going to say this, the French do use anglicisms, but always in a very informal context, never to sound fancy or "cultured" lol
Ah ah it kind of sounds ´nouveau riche’ when you do that 😂
Moderation. Yep. We are definitely not moderate. 😂
