One of my hobbies is attempting to learn Quebecois.  I fell in love with a woman from Quebec when we were in graduate school in California.  Later, as I spent time in Quebec, I fell in love with that province.  Before my first visit I bought and mastered the Berlitz French series.  I got to Quebec and after a few encounters realized that they spoke Quebecois. Even worse, they spoke the Eastern Townships dialect.  I gave up and let my wife translate for me. 

We have since gone our separate ways, but I still visit Quebec and have taken two immersion courses in Quebecois. I suspect I'll have to give up and live there for a few months to come close to fluency.  But, I still love the culture, especially the music and the food.  I am attaching one of the first videos I tried on my Nano. It was mainly an exercise in trying to keep my hand steady.  The first few attempts had a lot of fingers and twists and turns.
