Cultural & dialect notes
Matched to the right variety.
French as spoken across francophone Africa and the Pacific can differ in accent and everyday vocabulary from metropolitan French, so we note where a speaker is from. Many francophone African clients are multilingual and may also use a regional or national language. Tell us if so.
