Here they speak with a very heavy Creuse accentHave been attempting to speak French for years but unfortunately my elderly Limousin neighbours have a very thick accent and don't understand the concept of speaking slowly so it can be a struggle! When they speak to each other I don't recognise a word as it sounds more like Italian. In the Savoie region this year I was surprised to find that the accent there was far easier to understand. I am far more at home in France than Spain though!
That surprises me. I've spent a fair amount of time in the Corrèze and I never noticed anything particularly different from standard French, just a small splattering of patois words, mostly thrown in for comic effect. Provence, Marseille, now, they have a distinctive accent.Here they speak with a very heavy Creuse accent
You'll progress in leaps and bounds.Now you mention it, I've just noticed my son's ''French for dummies'' CDs here on the desk. I'll put them in the car and give it a go.
Current one would probably object but I've told him if he buys a house in France or Belgium then I'll stay with him :-)Get a french boy/girlfriend! Its the best way, although your current one may object.
