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.

Know the answer?

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.
