Transciption takes a ridiculously long time.

I've just been re-listening to one line half a dozen times at half speed to decide if I was hearing "jus pour me faire la causette", "jus qu'on fais la croisette", or something else entirely.

Final effort is:
normalement, tous les matins, il vient m'apporter un petit café de mon bureau et là il se racine un bon quart d'heure jus pour me faire la causette.
quote from Les filles d'à côte, episode 9.

That's 6 seconds of a 25min programme. For me, transcribing the whole thing would fill a six week challenge!

Normalement, tous les matins, il vient m'apporter un petit café dans mon bureau et là il s'enracine un bon quart d'heure juste pour me faire la causette.

Had a quebec mystery today: yé
Si yé condamné à un acte criminel, l'entente ne tient plus...

from District 31's twitter feed.

This is apparently Quebec slang for "il est", (see WordRef forum).

A Montessori-style education evangelist, Celine Alvarez, has a french language YouTube channel with french subtitles.

EDIT
In one of the videos she mentions a teacher supply shop, Pichon.fr.

If your interested in "le québécois" then I like to point you to this thread over on the HTLAL forum. Forum member Arekkusu published a course in québecois back in 2012. As you will see from the thread many members found it very useful. (There is also a very long discussion between Arekkusu and s_allard about the name of the course amongst other things.)

en faire tout un fromage > make a whole cheese of it > make a song and dance of it. Make it more complicated than it needs to be.

On en fait tout un fromage dans les formations Montessori, et franchement c'est paralysant.

From Accompagnement théorique 6/16 - La posture de l'adulte.

EDIT
en faire un fromage > make a fuss about it
il n'y a pas de quoi en faire un fromage > there's no reason to make such a fuss about it
Il est pas mal, mais il n'y a pas de quoi en faire un fromage quand même.

From Les filles d'à côte, épisode 39
