Well, I'm only a student of French (French semester 6) but I think this
sentence came out wrong for what you're trying to say....what would be
the English that you're converting to French? From this I get "What are
you saying to me in your language?" which doesn't make a whole lot of
sense (to me)..but then, maybe I'm just misparsing the English, creating
confusion for me. Beh, nevermind, but I'll send this e-mail anyways.
