Well, at least you are learning it by choice. When I was in high school I discovered in my second year of French that my first teacher had been Cajun. But when I got a tutuor to fill in the language gaps, I discovered the second one was Quebecois! To say the least, ma francaise was a mess.

My Quebecois teacher was with Rantoul Township High School, south of you, but she has probably retired by now. You might ask around the Chicago school district and see if any of the current French teachers know of someone who can tutor you in Quebecois while you take vraiment francaise.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
