So, for my French course we have to present a mini project to the class on whatever subject interests us. Guess what I picked? Obviously, it's the perfect opportunity to advertise the QT series to a class full of college students, some of whom MUST read occasionally, right? And they're almost all native English speakers, so I'm pretty sure I'm talking to the right target audience. But since the project's in French, and the class is a pretty high-level French class, I was wondering if MWT's books have been published in French? I searched Google France and couldn't find anything. I'd like to be able to tell the class about it if they are, just for extra appropriateness. Otherwise I'll just end up translating the titles myself and putting up pictures of the English versions. (Which I'd do anyway.)

And on that subject, are there any other languages they've been translated into? I know about the Japanese versions, but other than that I've never heard of any foreign language editions.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH I FEEL YOUR PAIN

I liven in France for a semester...a year and a half ago...and I was buying books to help my vocabulary, and I went looking for the books, but as far as I could see they hadn't been translated. (I ended up reading Ella L'ensorcelee, which was still awesome in French.)

bon chance avec votre projet!

La reine d'Attolia! Le roi d'Attolia! Le...voleur?

ah c'est fini. :-b I mean shhhhhhhhhhh don't read what I just said.

I basically took the whole semester to read it, and it was really, really helpful...when I started out I was writing like every other word down in my vocab notebook, but by the end I was moving pretty steadily along. :-D

I would absolutely love to read MWT's books in French... but I've had about as much luck as you.

Agh.

Qui suis-je, que tu devrais m'aimair?
Tu es Ma Reine... Est-que tu me crois/
Oui.
Est-que tu m'aime?
Oui.
Je t'aime.
Et elle l'a cru.

Je me souviens cet Archemedes. Je pense que c'etait cinq olives.

Ok, now I know I have problems.

Hmmn, Amazon.fr doesn't have them, so I'm guessing not. Very silly...

The first two have been published in Chinese, and as ballet said The Thief in Dutch.

Si j'ai voulu les livres francophone, j'irais à Amazon.ca, et clique "livres," sous le search bar. Ici: http://www.amazon.ca/livres-manuels-scolaires-livres-doccasion/b/ref=sv_b_4?ie=UTF8&node=916522

Mais, je ne les vois pas, malheureusement.

I am forced to assume that they do not exist! Which is odd - especially because Canada's a bilingual country, usually I find french versions of just about everything 'round here. Ah well!
