My kids still watch Telefrancais in school.

[-] rbesfe@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago

Kids will be watching Telefrancais until the tapes disintegrate

[-] Intrepidtron@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

People have uploaded all the episodes to YouTube now.

It’s just not the same though. The true experience is watching it on a TV/VCR on a cart that the teacher wheeled in.

Téléfrancais in school was pretty funny. It was the last kid show I watched by many years, and I wasn't old enough for it to feel ironic or meta etc, but it was on par with my poor French skills. I remember the character named L'anana, which sounded like a scat fill in 50s doo wop song to me, and the intro which sang the show's praises "c'est magnifique... c'est incredible"

Absolutely. It’s why I know how to say pineapple in French. And like… nothing else.

This must have been before my time. My generation was all about Café Des Rêves.

Without watching that video all I have to say is:

Bonjour

Allo!

Saluuuuuut!!!!!!!

[-] jadero@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago

I've never heard of it. At home, we watched "Chez Hélène" (heh. I still remember the correct accents because they remind me of a surprised face). Anyway Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chez_H%C3%A9l%C3%A8ne

I did immersion, so no.

I know the "normal" side of the school watched the series, and the stoners loved it

[-] silentwinged@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago

Really? I was in immersion and we had to suffer through this in Gr 1 and 2. I think it's responsible for my childhood fear of skeletons.

Les ananan ne parle pas!

[-] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago

I'm Québécois, never heard of it! Fascinating.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago

Oh! It was made by TV Ontario to help teach French and was used in some Quebec/Ontario schools

It’s really cool for kids

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago

I talk about ananas all the time
