After I wrote my Kamala Harris shopping-spree piece here, deriding Harris's rude refusal to speak French to the locals at a fancy cookware shop in Paris, AT editor Thomas Lifson pointed out something important:
Kamala Harris actually ought to be able to speak French.
Here's how she did:
Turns out she was educated during her four high school years in Montreal, Canada, where her mother worked as a cancer researcher during the late 1970s, early 1980s. Montreal is Canada's top French-speaking city. In 1977, approximately just when she arrived, a law was passed in Quebec requiring the use of the French language. Apparently there were a lot of Kamalas around who weren't doing it. Despite that law, she still doesn't seem to have picked up any French.

The French language is ALL ABOUT the accent.
HOW it is spoken not the words that are spoken.
Some southerners are almost impossible to understand, even though I know they are speaking American English.
Hard to hear an accent on the printed page.
She is not normal. Normal people learn the language of the host.
Sucking off powerful men was way easier than learning French.
She doesn’t speak English either, froom the way she sounds
Did she have a male teacher?
Meh, that’s like Brits thinking their minority dialect is proper English.
“Your back handed slap at the south is noted.”
What? You do not recognize the perfectly polished and refined English of Boston, Philadelphia, New England, New Joisey, etc?
That’s a good point. I’m sure if I were, I’d remember how to speak it now.
“She is not normal. Normal people learn the language of the host.”
Yeah, no, that’s not a thing.
Think someone going on a trip to Europe just sits down and learns French, German and Spanish? A trip to Japan just learn Japanese real quick?
At best they learn hello, goodbye, and where is the toilet. You know, enough that the local knows you do not speak the language.
It’s like those French have a different word for everything.
You can get along in English in Quebec. It takes a bit of intelligence to learn a new language. She is an entitled privileged rich kid who made it to the top by taking male members in her body.
It’s unlikely she did that with biden.
Quebec, ce n`est pas moi!
No kidding. She is from Montreal.
But she lived in an English speaking neighborhood. The wealthiest one in Canada.
She’d already been to educated in Oaklandese
—
She’s not from Oakland. She had nothing to do with Oakland.
Ooh-la-la. C’est magnifique.
And don’t forget to throw in “merdre” every once in awhile to look cool.
French Ebonics ...
Oui .... c’est Quebecois.
I’m sure i’m not the first to mention that ;-)
Montreal is cosmopolitan enough that most people there speak English, unlike Quebec City.
