If you speak Spanish, it is easier to understand French written than spoken. They barely pronounce that final consonant, and that is why so many words sound alike in French.
And the opposite is also true, as a French, it's way easier to understand written Spanish than spoken Spanish... Mainly because of the accents differences

Excuse me but in my opinion, their mother Latin language is the prettier one but Spanish is the most dynamic out of Romance languages even surpassing Italian. Italian may have lots of Latin words but it was also influenced by non-Latin languages like Oscan and Umbrian. Both Vocabulary and Syntax and even pronounciation, well, Spanish got all that category that's why it is the closest to Latin. French is the least due to the pronounciation contrasting to Latin. Even the pronounciation of letter S is missing in French and the letter R in Latin is pronounced alike the Spanish "R" and "R" in French is sort of soft sound. Sardinian the theoretically closest to Latin is very closed to Italian and not even sounds like Spanish. Hearing Spanish is like hearing its lost mother Latin. #RespectMyComment
Been learning both languages on Duolingo. Spanish comes off easier if one already knows some French. But I'd say, Spanish is closer to Portuguese than French. Although many words feel like an extension/limitations of the other. French - etudient , vie, musique Spanish - estudiante , vida, música Interestingly, some words remain common like apprendre (French) and aprender (Spanish) - to learn Thank you.
😂.. I remember when I was studying french, I had a big problem with "R" pronunciation, but It was fun at the same time because my french's teacher couldn't speak spanish "R" as well 😂😂😂

Les deux langues se ressemblent beaucoup entre elles et ça m'a aidé à acquérir la langue plus facilement, c'est pas si facile, quoi...
I’m constantly bouncing back and forth between the two languages, seriously can’t decide. I’ll decide to stick with Spanish one day than listen to a French song the next and end up undecided again! My Netflix list it full of French and Spanish movies/shows, I have an IG dedicated to both languages... smh🤦🏾♂️ maybe I’ll try both at once?
I speak both and I gotta admit that Spanish is way easier to understand even tho they're similar. But to me it sounds sweeter and calm than spanish. I love both, tho
Fact is that both languages come from the same root which is latin, but French has gone a different path long ago. As a native Spanish speaker I think that from all the romance languages, French is by far the least latin-like phonetically.
Yes it may even be closer to germanic languages phonatically. On the other hand it is lexically the closest to italian and I'd venture to guess Romanian is the least lexically similar to the other romance languages.
I tried learning french like 4 years ago and i still suck haha I have been learning Spanish for 6 months now! Did alot more progress than I did in French lol. I’m trilingual and also know multiple dialects and understand other languages just can’t pronounce well :/ also learning Spanish in a country where no one speaks Spanish and no one is teaching Spanish or has no Spanish workbooks is so hard :/

The difficulties that french language presents to spanish native speakers is not exactly pronunciation but the writing systems (many vowels and consonants don't keep correspondence with their sound in the alphabet). Besides other letters are not used with the intention to be pronounced but as a tag to remind something)

In Québec, we pretty much always say "patate". Maybe in some parts of French-speaking Europe too. You were taught "pomme de terre" because it's the standard word.
I'm planning to study italian ,spanish , portuguese , and french language they look so similar ...that's why i think maybe it will be easy to learn ...especially spanish i like it so much
The word "Patata" was made up. Spanish got the native Quechua word "Papa" (potato) and the native Taino word "Batata" (sweet potato) mixed up which resulted in "Patata". And no one has mentioned the word "Papaya". Its also a native Taino word pronounced "Papáia". The Spanish pronounced it has "Papaya".
If your mother tongue is English so I recommend you to learn French first inasmuch as they are so similar to each other like the non-pronunciation of the letter "E" in the end of the word. Terre - e does not get pronounced Facile Pomme English: Lake Cake Advantage
Truly depends on where you live, what is your mother tongue, and which countries you want to visit. If you want to visit North America (Québec or Canada), Europe, or Africa, you should learn French (unless you especially want to go to Spain or Equatorial Guinea). If you are more interested in Central or South America, then it should be Spanish of course (except if you're especially interested in Haïti or the French islands in the Caribbean). I'm Québécois so obviously I'd be biaised if I said you absolutely should learn French first :P
If you already speak English, start with french cuz 50% of English words come from French. Otherwise start with Spanish it's easier, all the letters are pronounced and there are less tenses.
I’m from the US, and I’ve been learning French. Spanish is more useful here, but for some reason, I’m more interested in French. But when I do try to learn Spanish, I inadvertently try to pronounce the words as I would in French. Especially the R’s. I can’t roll my R’s like in Spanish, but I can do that glottal French R decently. Maybe when I learn Spanish I will have some sort of hybrid accent between an American and French accent. 😂
this is so funny because im in canada and we learn quebecois french for the most part and- i dont even use his pronunciations and i cant tell whether im wrong or if they just are different??
I'm learning French and I watch Spanish telenovelas 🤣 so I could understand both (french better than Spanish obviously) also, if anyone can recommend good TV shows in both, please do!!
Nikita Kulkarni I suggest you to watch these series 😊 : Plan cœur (a comic serie about love) Un village Français (a serie about the world war II in France) Demain nous appartient (a drama) Kaameloth (a serie about the Middle Age) Axterix et Obelix (so funny !) Voilà 💫
AS A MATTER OF FACT AS A NATIVE SPANISH SPEAKER RESIDING IN CANADA FRENCH HELPED ME OUT A BIT WHEN I MOVED HERE TO UNDERSTAND LABELS AND MARKING ON DIFFERENT TYPE OF PRODUCTS SO KNOWING A ROMANCE LANGUAGE IS RATHER A PLUS BUT IN TERMS OF SIMILARITIES AMONG THE FAMILY ROMANCE LANGUAGE GOES I PERSONALLY THINK PORTUGUESE (BRASILIAN) IS THE CLOSEST TO SPANISH BUT AGAIN JUST MY HUMBLE OPINION
What I've learnt is in America is spelled potato and the actual English (British) is spelled potatoe, and some reason in British English tomatoe nah is actually spelled TOMATO.
Allow me to correct your Spanish. The word in Spanish for potato is "papa" and not "patata" in spite that around 75% of Spaniards call it "patata" and only the Andalusians call it papa, which is not a slang, but rather it's original name that had when it came from Peru which is where it is originally from. The word "patata" is a corruption of the world "batata" which is the word by which sweet potato was known in the Caribbean. If someone knows I would like to get an explanation of why the French name of potato is "pomme de terre" which literally means apple from the ground. Apple from the ground????
Patata is used in most part of Spain and it IS the standard word for “potato” here. You cannot correct someone when that person is saying it correctly (she is a native speaker wtf are you saying with your “allow to correct your Spanish”). It’s arrogant and pretentious. Please, look it up in a dictionary. Oh, and “batata” is “boniato”. I’m from Spain btw
@@Risperanto You seem not to be a native speaker of Spanish and that is perfectly Ok, but if two native Spanish speakers have a doubt about a particular word in Spanish we would check that word in the “Real Academia Espaňola” dictionary. Upon checking the word “patata” we will see that it will refer us to the word “papa” and not the other way around. Both words are in the dictionary, therefore both words are perfectly correct, but I do apologize if my facetiousness had been interpreted as arrogance. I just wanted to emphasize the origin of the word patata which the corruption of the word for sweet potato (batata in Spanish) commonly used in the Caribbean. dle.rae.es/patata?m=form I hope that this clarifies the whole misunderstanding. Peace
They’re very similar I grew up learning French so it makes it a bit easy for me to understand Spanish written or spoken even tho I don’t speak Spanish I still understand it ☺️

Both Vocabulary and Syntax and even pronounciation, well, Spanish got all that category that's why it is the closest to Latin. French is the least due to the pronounciation contrasting to Latin. Even the pronounciation of letter S is missing in French and the letter R in Latin is pronounced alike the Spanish "R" and "R" in French is sort of soft sound. Sardinian the theoretically closest to Latin is very closed to Italian and not even sounds like Spanish. Hearing Spanish is like hearing its lost mother Latin. #RespectMyComment
Yeah Spanish is beautiful
Je t'aime France....te amo Spain
Been learning both languages on Duolingo. Spanish comes off easier if one already knows some French. But I'd say, Spanish is closer to Portuguese than French. Although many words feel like an extension/limitations of the other.
French - etudient , vie, musique
Spanish - estudiante , vida, música
Interestingly, some words remain common like apprendre (French) and aprender (Spanish) - to learn
Thank you.

In French you spell a word with 7 letters, pronounce only the 5 of them and then you hear people saying it as if it had only 2

I always thought of French as coughing Catalans.
How so? Catalan sounds like Spanish and Occitan sounds like French people trying to speak Catalan.

Hello is France ici 👈🙋🏽♀️😁
I'm fluent in Hindi and English. Also, my Spanish isn't bad. This makes French a lot easier for me
this is so great .
i am gonna share this to may friend who married a french man .
Thank you, we're glad you enjoyed it 💙 Let us know what your friend thinks!
I’m constantly bouncing back and forth between the two languages, seriously can’t decide. I’ll decide to stick with Spanish one day than listen to a French song the next and end up undecided again! My Netflix list it full of French and Spanish movies/shows, I have an IG dedicated to both languages... smh🤦🏾♂️ maybe I’ll try both at once?
So... how things are going now? Which one you end up choosing? My situation is similar to yours.
I speak both and I gotta admit that Spanish is way easier to understand even tho they're similar. But to me it sounds sweeter and calm than spanish. I love both, tho
Fact is that both languages come from the same root which is latin, but French has gone a different path long ago. As a native Spanish speaker I think that from all the romance languages, French is by far the least latin-like phonetically.
Yes it may even be closer to germanic languages phonatically. On the other hand it is lexically the closest to italian and I'd venture to guess Romanian is the least lexically similar to the other romance languages.
I tried learning french like 4 years ago and i still suck haha I have been learning Spanish for 6 months now! Did alot more progress than I did in French lol. I’m trilingual and also know multiple dialects and understand other languages just can’t pronounce well :/ also learning Spanish in a country where no one speaks Spanish and no one is teaching Spanish or has no Spanish workbooks is so hard :/
Keep fighting! 💞 That's hard...

It's funny that I literally understood everything because I speak French even though I don't speak Portuguese at all :)
@@ramon475 Really?! A French person understanding Portuguese? How amazing is that! 😲
Got everything correct except for the word “guante” missed that. We always say “guantes” for both singular and plural and lots of words are in plural form regardless of quantity. We also dont use the word puente but the rest are the same in Filipino.

The difficulties that french language presents to spanish native speakers is not exactly pronunciation but the writing systems (many vowels and consonants don't keep correspondence with their sound in the alphabet). Besides other letters are not used with the intention to be pronounced but as a tag to remind something)

Oh after getting on a better level in my french I've started taking spanish. Gosh it's hard cause they are similar but i'm afraid i'm gonna mix them together 🙈🙈
Veronia x how are you learning these languages?
@@acidrefluxcharlie3834 Well I'm taking french in school as 3rd language (this year will be the last with it and my teacher kinda sucks) i also watch french yt, french song (i don't really like their films xd) and i also use duolingo app just to more and more understand.
I learn spanish only by myself also in duolingo and i found a perfect yt teacher 😄 but i don't really spend a lot of time with this language. Maybe soon
Veronia x I already know English and Spanish. My app says I’m 40% fluent in French but I don’t think I’m that good yet. How good is your French? Hopefully you’ll stick with it cause it’s a nice language
@@acidrefluxcharlie3834 I guess i can understand some texts, harder with listen but im trying my best. After all if someone would like to speak to me in french id probably freak out. I'm more fluent in English hah
You can't say your 40% fluent with a language. This even sound weird. That's a personal thing/opinion not mathematical percent hah
Veronia x yeah it does sound weird, but a lot of apps and linguists use fluency percentage to measure levels. I would probably freak out too if someone spoke to me in French, but I would ask them to speak very slowly haha if you learn French, Spanish will be somewhat easy since there are similarities. I watch the show Extra in French and Spanish on UA-cam. That is really helpful and they speak slow haha. Would you have learned French if it weren’t for school?
Love both languages

I didn't know "patate", I was taught "pomme de terre" when studying French at school.
In Québec, we pretty much always say "patate". Maybe in some parts of French-speaking Europe too. You were taught "pomme de terre" because it's the standard word.
Mercure250 Thank you!
The correct word is still ":pomme de terre". He stated that as a slang usage sometimes you'll say "patate".... which in turn is similar to Spanish.
Ba A Ty!
"Patate" is an informal word
I'm planning to study italian ,spanish , portuguese , and french language they look so similar ...that's why i think maybe it will be easy to learn ...especially spanish i like it so much
"What have you learned?"
me: PATATA
The word "Patata" was made up. Spanish got the native Quechua word "Papa" (potato) and the native Taino word "Batata" (sweet potato) mixed up which resulted in "Patata". And no one has mentioned the word "Papaya". Its also a native Taino word pronounced "Papáia". The Spanish pronounced it has "Papaya".
@@ab9840 patata means potato in greek lol
Super! Enfin un truc franco espagnol!😊
French: nombre - means number
Spanish: nombre - means name
Hmm, interesting
Wow the languages are similar. The fact that they use accents totally proves it. Alo! Commo cava? Je parle Anglais.
It's so interesting to discover the similarities between different languages!
😓 I can't decide on which one of these languages to learn first! Help!
Spanish 🇪🇸💛
If your mother tongue is English so I recommend you to learn French first inasmuch as they are so similar to each other like the non-pronunciation of the letter "E" in the end of the word.
Terre - e does not get pronounced
Facile
Pomme
English:
Lake
Cake
Advantage
Truly depends on where you live, what is your mother tongue, and which countries you want to visit. If you want to visit North America (Québec or Canada), Europe, or Africa, you should learn French (unless you especially want to go to Spain or Equatorial Guinea). If you are more interested in Central or South America, then it should be Spanish of course (except if you're especially interested in Haïti or the French islands in the Caribbean).
I'm Québécois so obviously I'd be biaised if I said you absolutely should learn French first :P
If you already speak English, start with french cuz 50% of English words come from French.
Otherwise start with Spanish it's easier, all the letters are pronounced and there are less tenses.
_Sigue tu corazón_ 💕 (just follow your heart)
Wow! I did't think they were similar at all. The more you know.
Beautiful video. Keep going.
I’m from the US, and I’ve been learning French. Spanish is more useful here, but for some reason, I’m more interested in French. But when I do try to learn Spanish, I inadvertently try to pronounce the words as I would in French. Especially the R’s. I can’t roll my R’s like in Spanish, but I can do that glottal French R decently. Maybe when I learn Spanish I will have some sort of hybrid accent between an American and French accent. 😂
That's interesting! It's very easy to get the pronunciations mixed up
Wine Spanish: vino
Wine french: vin
this is so funny because im in canada and we learn quebecois french for the most part and- i dont even use his pronunciations and i cant tell whether im wrong or if they just are different??
Where's the rest of the word....in french language i always wondering that 😑

What I've learnt is in America is spelled potato and the actual English (British) is spelled potatoe, and some reason in British English tomatoe nah is actually spelled TOMATO.
The reason is that Trumpy kissed boris Johnson and he loved it
I speak both, and they are kind of similar. Sometimes. Spanish is much easy to pronounce though.

Je vous remercie
Allow me to correct your Spanish. The word in Spanish for potato is "papa" and not "patata" in spite that around 75% of Spaniards call it "patata" and only the Andalusians call it papa, which is not a slang, but rather it's original name that had when it came from Peru which is where it is originally from. The word "patata" is a corruption of the world "batata" which is the word by which sweet potato was known in the Caribbean. If someone knows I would like to get an explanation of why the French name of potato is "pomme de terre" which literally means apple from the ground. Apple from the ground????
You're right I'm from Argentina and here we call it papa.
Mexico: papa!
@@cotygvYes the "papa" is used in all Latin America, Adalusia and the Canary Islands.
Patata is used in most part of Spain and it IS the standard word for “potato” here. You cannot correct someone when that person is saying it correctly (she is a native speaker wtf are you saying with your “allow to correct your Spanish”). It’s arrogant and pretentious. Please, look it up in a dictionary.
Oh, and “batata” is “boniato”.
I’m from Spain btw
@@Risperanto You seem not to be a native speaker of Spanish and that is perfectly Ok, but if two native Spanish speakers have a doubt about a particular word in Spanish we would check that word in the “Real Academia Espaňola” dictionary. Upon checking the word “patata” we will see that it will refer us to the word “papa” and not the other way around. Both words are in the dictionary, therefore both words are perfectly correct, but I do apologize if my facetiousness had been interpreted as arrogance. I just wanted to emphasize the origin of the word patata which the corruption of the word for sweet potato (batata in Spanish) commonly used in the Caribbean. dle.rae.es/patata?m=form
I hope that this clarifies the whole misunderstanding. Peace
they're part of the Romance languages so they're similar
They’re very similar I grew up learning French so it makes it a bit easy for me to understand Spanish written or spoken even tho I don’t speak Spanish I still understand it ☺️
