#beginner french

[qweenofurheart]

i had this idea to write a comic about two people learning each other's language but unfortunately i'm not very good at either language. but i hope i put some relatable moments for language learners here (that I have experienced personally), and i might make more.

translation below the cut:

First Image:

"He Xiaoshi: speaks Chinese, wants to learn French"

"Logan Abujhaad: speaks French, wants to learn Chinese"

Second Image:

"Ah... you're from China, right?"

"Yes... I'm from a village in Hubei"

"This is the true spirit of language exchange."

Third Image:

"I have opening the door"

"That's wrong."

"I've open -"

"No."

"I opened the door."

"Voila."

Fourth Image:

"But I don't understand...why do you say 'I want with friends together study'? Why not say 'I want to study together with friends?'"

"Because the adverbial phrase [he uses the masculine article with 'phrase' here, which is a feminine noun.] precedes the verb in Chinese"

"LA phrase adverbiale."

"..."

"Sorry."

Puis il y avait de la chaleur,

un bassin de beauté trouve en vous;

dans votre toucher, votre sourire.

Votre amour m’a apporté la magie

à ma vie, même quand je pensais

que j’étais perdu dans les falaises;

perdu aux fins.

Then there was warmth,

a pool of beauty found within you;

within your touch, your smile.

Your loving me brought magic

to my life even when I thought

I was lost to the cliffs;

lost to the endings.

My first dream in French

Well, I should say set in France. I was with a group of friends and asked a stranger for directions. I was so excited that I understood every word that it took me a while to realize they were just speaking English with a heavy French accent.

Later on, we flag down a cab to go to our hotel. I step up.

Me: Bonjour

Cabbie: Bonjour *immediately knows that my accent means I'm non-native but smiles encouragingly anyways*

Me: Je aller, euh... J'aime aller votre hôtel. Wait! Non! Je veux aller au hôtel. Ici *shoves hotel address in the driver's face*

Me, internally: How do you forget how to conjugate aller? And 'votre hôtel'? Are you a hooker?
