 If a comparison can be made, the differences between both varieties are almost comparable to those between standard American and standard British English even if differences in phonology and prosody for the latter are significantly lesser than between Quebec and Metropolitan French, though American forms will be widely understood due to larger exposure of American English in English-speaking countries, notably as a result of the widespread diffusion of US films and series.Some travelling Québécois choose to register and/or modify their accent in order to be more easily understood.Most are able to communicate readily with European francophones nonetheless.
