  1. "tell me what nationalities of people live there"

    They are French of course and they speak french but they have a strong accent.

    Some french :

    Hello : bonjour

    How are you : Comment allez-vous

    Where is ... : Où se trouve ...

    I'm looking for ...: Je cherche...

    Can you help me : Pouvez-vous m'aider

    etc...


  2. Hello,

    Im french, native from Aix en Provence.  

    Provence has been for a long time a kingdom. So we have our proper dialect, which is not really talked today. I would say Provence is a mix between a lot of civilisations. Fristly, we have this property to be mediteranean. In this view, there are a lot of people who came during the years 60's in Provence. For example there is a lot of People originary from Spain which left Franco during The WorldWar II, Italian, Corsican, Africans, North aFricans, Greeks, Armenians...

    I think, the most important thing to say about these people: is that we all born in Provence, we all speak with this tipical accent and whatever our origins we build our region for the future because we all feel "Provençaux" (From Provence).

    That's it. If you want some help with your French, of course I can help you;

    First lesson: Comment vas-tu? D'ou viens-tu? Comment t'appelles tu?

    Answer if you can, also i could give you the basics. You could help me for my english to!
