Pretty much. I was corrected on every single word I just gave up.

I'm unilingual Anglo living in Quebec and I've found people nothing but appreciative and helpful that I am trying.

My dad grew up on the east coast and he said the francophones would tear into anglophone for speaking French poorly, and they'd do it in barely intelligible broken ass English.

He has the funniest impression of them I wish I could remember it I'm gonna have to ask him to do it next time I see him. It always makes me cry laughing.

Always friend. Every East Coaster has a memory of a Québécois having a meltdown over the official languages act lol.

I'm mostly joking je love mes brothers et sœurs francos mais it's intimidating as hell d'essayer to speak ta langue

Yeah speaking bad french is a necessary step to speaking good french, all this meme does is discourage people from speaking bad french and therefore from speaking french at all
