QC En Francais (again)
Added 2017-12-24 09:23:52 +0000 UTCHappy holidays! I'm posting these bonus comics I did for y'all on the main site, so consider this week a recap of some of my favorite things I've done on Patreon this year I guess?????
TRANSLATION:
Panel 2
Guy: Uh, do you speak english?
Francelore: Ah- yes? Yes! Yes! How can I help you?
Panel 3
Guy: Can I get a, uh, venti latte?
Francelore: Ah, yes! One moment, please!
Panel 4
Francelore: What is "venti?"
Doralsace-Lorrraine: "Twenty" in Italian. *vapes*
Panel 5
Francelore: Ummm...that's twenty espressos...your total is 25 euros.
Guy: Twenty five bucks?! Forget that, I'm goin' to McDonalds or something!
Panel 6
Francelore: I don't understand Americans.
Doralsace-Lorraine: Americans don't understand coffee. *continues to vape*

According to my (French-born) French Professor, Parisians are worse.

2017-12-26 01:13:36 +0000 UTCThat's technically the correct way to say it, yes, but idiomatically it's customary to omit the "ne". Learning french from a textbook doesn't at all prepare you for communicating with native speakers (but I suppose that's also true of most languages)
2017-12-25 21:04:02 +0000 UTCOther French speakers correct me, but I think in the the last panel Frenchnalore should be saying Je NE comprends pas les Americains.

2017-12-25 17:04:47 +0000 UTCVous respirez la vapeur douce, vous apprenez qui vous êtes en ce moment, non? Vos poumons sont-ils juste là pour gonfler, ou choisissez-vous ce qui entre, quoi qu'il arrive? En courtisant la mort, vivez-vous? Ce n'est pas important. C'est ce que c'est.

2017-12-24 11:35:38 +0000 UTCSo many people say "naan bread" which would be "bread bread" and that bugs me tooooo >_< Also idk if it's just me but masala chai at Indian restaurants always tastes not just better but like... more concentrated? less watered down? than at Starbucks. Am I imagining that?

2017-12-24 10:29:26 +0000 UTCStarbuck's abuse of other languages is terrible; as a tea drinker my peeve is "chai tea" - that literally just means "tea tea". What they're actually selling is masala chai.

2017-12-24 10:25:18 +0000 UTCIts true. Americans are terrible.
