Canadian vs European French

Anyone knows if there's a real difference between Canadian and European French? Is it the same disparity as between American and UK English?:confused:

I know a couple of differences as regards the interrogation marks and the colon.

I am not a native speaker, by the way, and I haven't got the chance to practise this beautiful language, either.

Any natives around here?

:)

Sabrina,
Your thread regarding “Canadian French/European French” already dates from 2006.
But I have only recently joined the forum, and this may still be of interest :
Even in Europe there is one important difference between the French spoken in different countries especially regarding the numbers :
70 = in Belgium and in Switzerland : septante
= in France : soixante-dix
80 = in Switzerland : huitante – or – octante
= in France and Belgium : quatre-vingts
90 = in Belgium and in Switzerland : nonante
= in France : quatre-vingt-dix

but then also :

septante et un / soixante-et-onze etc...
huitante et un – octante et un / quatre-vingt-un etc...
nonante et un / quatre-vingt-onze etc...

au plaisir !

Very good Frank! I am not able to point out the differences, all I can say is that after spending two weeks in Paris, France, being able to communicate with everyone, I flew to Montreal and...I was like in China!!! I could not understand very well. All the words sounded different to me.
I hope nobody takes any ofense with this cause this is not my intention, just my experience. In fact, I love both places, both people and felt great in both, just kind of lost in the second one, regarding language. ;)

I'm a native frenhc speaker, and I agree with frank van den eeden, there are some differences beetween al sorts of french spken in the world, but it doesn't concern only numbers, it concerns insults too : a canadian will say " tabernacle " and metroplitan frenches will find it not insulting, but funny. And it concerns many expressions, who are recap, if i remember, in some dictionnaries you can find on lexilogos. ( it's a webites about languages ).
Hoping I've satisfied .
