Your mother is French ?

Great, that explains why you could understand and communicate in French !
I really thought that you could "guess" French thanks to your mother tongue ^^



Concerning "D'accord pas d'accord"
It really can't be French.
Why ? It is TOTALLY grammatically INCORRECT.

In English it makes perfect sense to put 2 verbs consecutively.
Agree to disagree
Kill to live
Hide to survive
and so on !

BUT
It goes against any French grammar lesson to put two nouns as "d'accord" next to each other (d'accord is not a verb. The verb would be "Etre d'accord" which is the "To be" verb)

(Well actually "d'accord" is a locution)

"Nous sommes d'accord de ne pas ĂȘtre d'accord" would be the correct translation. But, yet, it makes no sense at all.
And any French hearing that would make a funny face before going "lmao".



Oh and btw, "My mother is French" does not really give me her opinions on this debates ^^
