Is GSP articulate in French?

[notsojollyroger]

If you know French...

GSP just landed a commentary role for a Quebecois UFC network. How quick is he in his mother tongue compared to guys like Bisping, Hardy and Cormier? I've heard he isn't the best public speaker, regardless of language...True? It would be interesting to get a take on how well GSP communicates without the language barrier.

I don't speak French, but I'm guessing his French is great judging by his heavy accent.

 

[WHITE ANDERSON]

nah
he's taken too much brain damage and been abducted by aliens too many times

Quebecois usually seem to have a really scuffed accent when they’re speaking English. They sound normal when speaking French. And it doesn’t take much to be as articulate as Bisping and co.

Sherdog, where everybody thinks they're comedians.

Like Dan Henderson's English is great because he has an American accent...

You must be fun at parties.

But try it on live television, it's definitely not for everyone.

GSP is a smart dude and his accent is French when he is speaking English. I don’t understand where you are coming from...

He said nothing but truth. Ugly pimple face incels are making themselves better by making fun of athletes.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

No but I heard his Arabic is perfect

 

[Willie]

He has a very heavy french accent when speaking English, not pleasant to the ear, and his actual french accent when speaking French is French canadian, not standard French.

 

[Doctor Lenovo]

Yes, he is. However, his accent is a Quebecois accent, which is the hardest French accent to understand, in my ignorant opinion.

 

[FrancisBergoglio]

He has a Quebecois accent but yes his french is good and easy to understand.

Who was making fun of who again? I thought op was being genuine actually

 

[Bogeyman]

Thread is asking is he's articulate, if he'll make a good commentator. Everyone in the thread is like "he has one of them Frenchie accents so yeah he probably can speak French!".

 

[Pizza Werewolf]

He actually speaks broken French with a really thick American accent.

 

[grimballer]

His French is same as his English except for slightly better vocabulary.

the man is not a great public speaker regardless of the language.

Are you joking? GSP has truly dreadful English. The question asked was how articulate GSP is in his native language, not whether he is fluent in French lol.

It's a terrific question. GSP seems to be intelligent and dilligent in many ways, speaking may not be one of them however. Elon Musk is a genius, yet is a horrible speaker. Since we only hear GSP speak English (unless you can understand French), we dont know the answer to this question lol
