Hello,
I am new to this forum. I have been listening to the dialogues and I am curious. What French is this? I ask because there are different dialects within France, and also Canadian French is much different than France French.

My good friend is from the south of France (Marseilles) and I would like to be able to communicate with him.

Thanks in advance :)

The FSI basic course is pretty close to standard Parisian French, you shouldn't have any real difficulties communicating with someone from Marseilles.
