You guys, please read my comment properly... comment tu appelles mean "how are you called" or "what are you called" when you directly translate it into English.

While c'est quoi ton nom actually translates more directly to "what is your name".... or "What is this name of yours" w/e

maybe you guys misunderstood me, but appelé does not mean name, while nom does.

CAMEROONPRIDE: comment tu t'appelles is not wrong. Who told u that?

I understand where the misunderstanding came from... i meant to write "the poster who said c'est quoi ton nom was incorrect".

french as in the language or the country. If you are talking about movies from France.I don't watch them that much. So I don't really know what u are talking about. I think Hollywood is more liberal and def has more sex. Lol

I have been there .in France. The stats show the contrary. Most American women had se.x in their office at least one time lol

Where were u in Europe? UK?

Netherlands, which is probably the most libral country on earth.

But you are right about America being a skank culture, im in college i would know. And the problem is 10X in the black community

But for white Americans at least, they are good at hiding it

Nothing pass Denmark and Sweden ..I haven't been there ...but from what I heard shaiii....

College/university life is **** everywhere lol ,and you are right about white hiding their sh.its, or maybe we think they do because we don't belong to this community and hardly see it tho

But you are right about European societies being more liberal, most of them are secular . In the UK they are already doing bad stuffs but they still like to hide their faces in pseudo moral values etc

Bonsoir les gars,où êtes vous donc passés..............Bonsoir les gars,où êtes vous donc passés..............Bonsoir les gars,où êtes vous donc passés..............

BlackLibya: Whether or not they speak french perfectly is beyond the point. The point is they all speak French, and use it as a source of pride amongst each other. Whereas British colonies like Nigeria, Uganda, and Kenya use the local languages to a large extent, and most from these countries do not even speak english beyond what anyone else in the world would speak.

The real reason for this is the French goal of "assimilation". French colonial campaigns were on average much more destructive and insulting than British campaigns. While the British often tried to work within the existing framework, the French destroyed all previous forms of govt and forced locals to accept french superiority.

The locals that were more drawn to French were given positions of power, and if you note all the French African leaders at independence had studied in Paris, and had a grand appreciation of French culture. Houphet-Boigney even said that his nation did not need independence, because they were forming a brotherhood with the French. So there you go, that is why, the French policy resulted in countries that felt France was much superior to them, and the end all be all. Girls from French West/Central Africa often dress in french styles and imitate strive for french accents, they have a stronger obsession with white people than other africans.

I have heard this and believe this to be true because I have heard this from black africans from francophone countries admit this to. That's why you see a big difference between black africans that are from anglophone countries vs. one from Francophone countries

it goes both ways to me when it comes to anglophone and francophone

The fact remains that majority of the Francophone African countries do not speak Standard French.
