My Spanish, German and French are rusty as hell these days. But other commenters have touched on the "side-by-side" method. Oddly, Asterix, Lucky Luke and Bob & Bobette all had editions in dual languages. And of course, you could just get the English language edition and the French edition and read them side-by-side yourself. It was great! The really awesome thing was that during some recess sessions we would be sent to the library, or if a teacher wasn't available to take the class due to illness, or it was raining outside during recess, and the rule was, you could take any book you liked to quietly read, but you couldn't take the hardback comic books. The ones in English. But you could take the foreign language versions. And if you sat near the substitute teacher with it, you could ask for the English language version too, to help with translation. I remember many hours in the school library reading all those comics in French and German.
