No problem understanding him (I'm from Belgium).
Kind of sounds like a mix between Quebecois and Belgian French somehow. Interesting accent.

[bradleyericbardeau]

You sound the same as us here, in southern Nova Scotia

[RochRoy]

M. Perrin, j'ai eu le plaisir de vous rencontrer à New Orléans il y a déjà plus de trente ans. J'avais à ce moment fait parvenir des documents à Antonine Maillet pour vous. Merci pour ce que vous avez fait pour le peuple Acadien.

Salutations de Paris. Ne lâchez rien. Existez, prouvez que vous résistez.

Perrin is a legend and he does a lot for Acadians in Louisiana. The CODOFIL as a whole does a great job with limited resources but some very dedicated people in an environment that is very challenging. The french-language never had it easy in an American setting even if Acadians/Cajuns in Louisiana have an extremely rich culture/music which helps keep the language alive.

I must admit, Perrin French is quite good and I always was impressed by how some Cadiens kept their language in Louisiana considering the historical oppression in schools and how the language was sadly shunned. I am myself a native French speaker, my grandfather is an Acadian from the Gaspésie région in Quebec (he went too to the First World Acadian Congress) and there are some similarities between the Acadian accent spoken in Eastern Canada and Louisiana. Of course, this is not really surprising as the Acadians in Louisiana have Acadians from Canada as ancestors who were deported south to the bayou by force. What is incredible is that Cadiens kept their language and very rich culture for generations and generations.

Moi j’habite près de Vermilion en Alberta. Salutations à mes frères Cajuns de Louisiane.

Man please dont let this language die 🙏 please learn it

[worldpoint]

As a French speaker, it's cool to hear this. The difference from standard French is a few things that would be grammatically incorrect in standard French, the American accent, and rolling the r's. Otherwise it is completely understandable.

[kerryadams]

It's sad that the cajun French language is gonna die with that generation. My dad speaks it fluently and it'll be lost with him too. He also got in trouble in school only speaking cajun French.

[mrjomaled]

I understood 90% of what he said with my rudimentary metropolitan French...and I didn't cheat by reading the

Merci pour votre témoignage mR. Perrin. Je suis canadienne française du Québec

[purplerpenguin]

I am surprised how clear Cajun French seems to be; how easy to understand, there is no dialect at all, unless speakers deliberately do not use it. Great video.
