This clue might be a double definition.

'english remark' is the first definition.
'comment' can be an answer for 'remark' (synonyms). I am not sure about the 'english' bit.

'how continental' is the second definition.
I know that 'how' relates to this answer.

'but' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for comment that I've seen before include "offer opinion" , "Remark, observe" , "Explanatory note" , "observation" , "How suitable for Le Monde" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
