As someone who is currently learning Quebec french, what is the best way to understand spoken french
I have been trying my best to learn french, of course I am not the best yet, but I am good with reading sometimes, not all of the time. But I cannot understand when people speak to me in french. Any useful tips would be much appreciated. My speaking is sometimes alright, I still struggle finding words as I dont know every single thing just yet.

Understanding Quebec French can indeed be quite a challenge! I would recommend first focusing on building a strong foundation in standard French (like the French spoken in France), as this will give you a solid base before tackling the accent and unique expressions of Quebec French. Once you're comfortable with general French, you'll find it easier to grasp the nuances of Quebec French. As a native Quebec speaker, I'd be happy to help guide you through your learning journey and improve your understanding and speaking skills in Quebec French. Feel free to book lessons with me if you'd like to progress faster!
As others mentionned, it's very important to learn the strandard French first. As this will help you understand the parterns of Québéc French. Québec French tends to shorten the words and mashup the words all together. I recommend learning the vocabulary that is used day to day and also how Québec people shorten some expression like ''je suis'' becomes ''chu''.
The best way to learn French is first,you must know when to apply the article and the verb and the phonetics,because French language has a same rules to speak to make it sounding clean,clear and classic as well.
Practice listening to those who inspire you in the language. Read phonetics =, which guide you on how to general a word is spoken. then focus much on learning standardized French from France.
You have to learn a lot of listenning of comprehension , some vocabulary and basic rules of grammar
