If you mean in French, harder to explain, but more nasal and with a wider range of intonation than European French.

Well, uh, I don't know how to say dat in dis letter here, but, uh, you may want to go to Quebec or some other place like dat in French Canada and listen for yourself. Maybe you can stop by a bar and have a Labatt 50, enjoying the various conversations around you. Perhaps you can listen to some Celine Dion interviews, as she is from Charlemagne, Quebec. Perhaps her English is a little less influenced by her native surroundings than others though as she has such international acclaim. I wish you well on your quest to find out what so many people already know. It is a shame that the United States has lost much of its French language, although I have to say I'm happy that some pockets do exist. Take a look at a map of the U.S. and try to count all the French town names. It's fun.

It sounds like Canadian French. There are two official languages in Canada.
The French in France is more sing-songy French, and the rythym of French in Canada is different from that in France.
It's like a British accent vs. an American accent.
