Bonjour. Parle vous francais, monsieur? Tu es anglais, non?

If you're so French, translate what I just said, en anglais, sil vous plait. :P

Spoiler
...because I have no clue; I'm just babbling, hoping some of the words are correct. :P Nah, I'm just in a joking mood. The English language is indeed very close to the French language, but are the accent adopting troubles when trying to speak French as a British person or British English as a French person true?


translation:

Good day. Do you speak French, sir? You are English, no?

If you're so French, translate what I just said, in English, please. :P



That actually translates to "Good morning. Talk french you, sir? You're English, right?"

Of course there's accent troubles trying to speak another language. It's the same with everything, I believe.

The British are very French. :shrug:

Just look at the language.
I'd say the British are more German these days. That whole Saxe-Coburg and Gotha thing. They did own a quarter of France at different periods of history.

No, seriously.

For years, the ruling families of England spoke French and a lot of the English language comes directly from French, words like castle, altar, archer-- pretty much anything that has to do with war or religion because the French conquered England and brought, with them, their language and culture.

One of the most famous English rulers ever, Richard the Lionheart, whose famous statue you can find outside the palace of Westminster, was a Frenchman, who spent most of his time fighting on the front lines of the Crusades and even got himself locked up in a dungeon there all because he HATED England and couldn't stand sitting around on his throne there all day.

Nords, of course!

They are pale, tall and have a cool, low voice. Almost like me...

Nords, I always play a nord. There just awesome, the drinking, fur coats, honour, savagery, sailing, and strong. They have all the makings to be heroes!

I like Redguards. I always choose them as my main choice for the Humans, not to mention they tend to be the only non-white ones too.

I'm primarily an Imperial fan, but our Nordic cousins are cool, despite their barbaric savagery. All races of Man are cool, except those abominations known as Bretons, filthy mongrels. How dare humans ever breed with those Elven swine. Death to all Mer! [/in character statement]
