Dialogues of French

I am very fortunate to be trilingual. Who doesn’t dream of speaking many languages? Most people think it’s impossible, hard, or too late, but those people are unaware that they can speak a different language of their own mother tongues. As of today, French is the only official language of France, but it doesn’t mean that it is the only language spoken there. The other dialects in France are often referred to as “patois” (pat- wa) or dialects. There are eleven types of “patois” spoken in France today. They all come from different regions in France. However, in my daily life, I don’t use any of the “patois” spoken in France, but there are three different types of French I speak every day.

The first type of French I use, is with my friends. It is like slang, only in French. For example, when you speak to your parents do you speak the same way you do to your friends? Absolutely not. It’s the same in my culture. In french, you great your friends by saying “wesh frere ca va” meaning “Hey dude” or “what’s up.” I speak this way with my friends because it is more friendly and comfortable rather than the formal way of speaking to a stranger.
