When you're french, with a little bit of Spanish classes you can understand Spanish memes, and this is priceless

"Molestar" in Spanish = to disturb "Molester" in French = to molest It is my favorite false friends in Spanish. It makes "No molestar por favor" sounds so funny for naive French-speaking tourists.

As a native Spanish speaker, I can generally understand written French. However, this is not the case when listening to French.

When I was in Mexico, I kept asking people to speak "mas lente", thinking the word for "slow" must be a cognate of the French "lent". Turns out I was asking for "more lens".

I speak Spanish and French and never realized they were so similar. The "pl" / "ll" blew my mind.

When you know French and Spanish you basically understand Italian Edit: I think it's also pretty easy to learn Portuguese when you know those langages, but personally, I think Italian is easier than Portuguese

Native french speaker here, learning spanish is pretty easy since there is so much cognates, but I think it's also because the syntax is soooo similar, except for some little things but they aren't complicated to remember. However, i did some tutoring for Mexican teens learning french when I was in college and it seems a lot harder for spanish speakers to learn french than for french people to learn spanish. I think it is due to all the graphemes and the silent letters in our words since in spanish they pronounce every letter. It was really really really hard for the students to remember that certain letters are silent at the end of words. Also the pronunciation is soooo different, especially nasal vowels. They are just so alien to non-french speakers in general. and we laughed a lot when I tried to explain to them how to do it! For me it's so natural since it's my first language and I never really have to think about it, but for them it was so difficult! Oh and also the "u" sound. No, it's not an "oo" sound lmao (when english people say "déja-voo, it makes me laugh) but I understand it is a really difficult sound to learn to do! And the "ch" sound. They say it as "tsh", but we just say "sh" without the t sound in front. Anyways, spanish is a very pretty language, I wish I could continue learning it!

It’s a super coincidence . I tried finding this video that shows similarity between Spanish and french about 20 minutes ago and then I see you uploading a video on this . Unbelievable

In French secondary schools, when we have to choose a second foreign language between Spanish and German, 70 to 80% of the schoolchildren choose Spanish for one simple reason: it's easier.

As a Portuguese native speaker who have learned Spanish and can speak it fluently, then have learned Italian, and now is currently learning French, I have to say I used to mix up Italian and Spanish much more than with French. I often mix up the French with English though, which is kinda weird, but understandable. However, the previous knowledge of Portuguese, Spanish and Italian definitely help when learning French. I risk saying I took a quite good path. Awesome video! Thanks

The French word "aujourd'hui" is like the Spanish phrase "en el día de hoy". I hear it somewhat regularly in Spanish when people are referring to the present day in speeches, talks, news reports, or other similar settings

When you studied French, are studying Spanish and watching video in English, which is also not native to you. Perfect combination

I'm learning Spanish now, and I feel so grateful that I know French. For all Spanish speakers learning French, you'll just have to get over our weird sound systems and then the grammar will not be so bad! I was literally laughing when I started learning the Imperfecto, Futuro, and Condicional - they're very similar to French! El Pretérito made me want to die though, so many irregulars!!! Cheers to two beautiful languages! I'm very excited for the day I can read Naruda, Borges, and Marquez in the native language ❤❤❤

As someone who speaks french, it's very heartwarming to speak with a spanish speaker speaking french too. It's hard to explain but the conversations tend to create a "pyramid" effect of understanding and the end result is very satisfying.
