Guest Fadi Posted December 14, 2002 Report Share Posted December 14, 2002 For those that live here in Montreal, Mosaïque at Vox channel talks about the Armenian community in Montreal. The next redifusions are tomorow at 11h30, and another on Monday 13h00. There is as well in it an interview of the artist Lousnak, that plays the mother of Gorky in the movie, as well as she was the main searcher about Gorkys history, and possibly the painter of the paintings of Gorky in the movie.

wh00t Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 Merci Domino c'était un bon émission. Mais, ils ont concentré trop sur les Dashnaks.. ou est notre église bien-aimée de Lusavorich? Ceux qu'on retrouve chaque semaine au centre communautaire ne sont pas les seuls arméniens qui vivent a Montréal. Mais en tout cas.. Yo j'étais vraiment surpris par les accents en francais des étudiants de Sourp Hagop?? Tellement bizarre, ce sont des jeunes qui vont a cette école francophone depuis qu'ils avaient 5 ans et ils ont un accent comme s'ils viennent d'apprendre la langue? Est-ce qu'ils ont tous un accent de meme ou peut-etre on a vu des mauvaises exemples? Ils parlent bien, couramment, c'est sur.. juste l'accent. Peut-etre c'est parce qu'ils parlent que l'arménien ou l'anglais en dehors de l'école.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fadi Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 LOL ! Yeap ! They all have those sucky accent its sick really, they learn French for years and don't know how to talk correctly, they rather prefer snobism, and talking in English everywhere, mixing it with Armenian(durty mixture). As for the Community center, you are right, they do not represent all the Armenians. BTW, if ever you want to meet me, you'll see I don't have this sucky accent, if you talk with me in french, you wont recognise I am Armenian. You know what we should one day do that, all gatter those Armenians from Montreal that participate in this forum(not so much, you me and vava ) and go watch Ararat.

wh00t Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 I'd love to as well, count me in Me too about the accents.. if you spoke to me in English, you wouldn't know I was Armenian either. I'm not one of those Armen Quebec / Sourp Hagop kids would can't speak either of Canada's official languages! (Just kidding of course.. they could well chastize me for my awful-sounding Armenian!)

Guest Fadi Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 OK, lets see when we can, wh00t I wish that you are a very strong guy, if it happens that vava end up to be an imposter that would want to brake my bones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have many relatives living in Argentina, and I visited them recently in Buenos Aires. However, I myself am Canadian-born, Canadian-raised.

hayemyes Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 Actually, I am a member of that community u guys love to criticize. And all I can say is that what you saw was one of the bad examples there could have been, because they put it there to show the class' humour. There are some excellent students without accents and some with accents but who know the language better than anyone. So I don't think we can criticize ppl just because of their accents, that is unless we have a problem with that particular community's party maybe? Or we don't like the community? Or are we jealous? Of course it doesn't represent all Armenians, because all of them don't come to Sourp Hagop Armenian school and go to public or other private schools, buut that was a good example. Plus, I have been with people who had gone to Armen Quebec and believe me they have accents in all 3 languages. So I am not criticizing anyone cuz as I said accents are not something you can judge people on. Many intellectuals have accents. Atom's wife had an accent, is she a bad actress? I just wanna point out the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vava Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Hello Hayemyes, I think I speak for all of us here when I say that we are accent inclusive . No matter what your accent, we still accept you It's just that accents are funny sometimes. And Whoot: as for my short bio, hmmm... I kind of like retaining my mystique... but I can promise you & Domino that I'm no good at breaking other peoples bones. (i leave that to my associates Guido & Luigi) No seriously, I've been living in Canada since i was about 5 yrs old. I've been in Montreal for the last ten, oringinally I came for university, but I never left to go back to Ontario. I work in the multimedia field at a small agency in the old port area and I manage to take a few courses at mcgill just cause I like the lifestyle....will that do? v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vava Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 I'd love to... Although my dirty english is much better than my french! [ December 17, 2002, 12:31 PM: Message edited by: vava ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
