Le monde francophone 

Did you know that French fries were really Belgian? 

Explore the diversity and richness of the French-speaking world! This module invites you to dive into the accents, local expressions, and cultural differences across Francophone regions—from Switzerland to Belgium, North to West Africa, Québec to the French Overseas Territories. Discover how France’s colonial past and more recent cultural exchanges have shaped these unique Francophone identities.

 

What You’ll Discover:

  • A tour of accents and expressions that make each region distinctive
  • Engaging discussions on the legacies of colonialism, borrowed words, and the complex concept of Francophonie
  • Cultural highlights: from Belgium’s Tintin to Québec’s Céline Dion, and the vibrant music scenes and cuisines of French-speaking Africa

Interactive Tools:

Videos, audio clips, and resources to listen to and compare Francophone accents! Share your impressions and see how each accent tells a unique story of culture and history.

This class will be taught exclusively in French.
