      I'm from Portugal, so I know Portuguese. I had french in school (in Portugal for 3 years) and when I was young I watched a lot of Spanish cartoons and I went to Spain a lot and had a few Spanish friends, so I understood like 90% of it.
      I moved to France when I was 18. In France, I perfected my french to near-native level, and I also took Spanish classes at University where I finished the B1 level. Then I went to Italy when I was 20 and took a 2-month course and studied it a lot (at that point I spoke almost perfect french and Spanish, so learning Italian was super intuitive and I understood almost every word because it either was similar to french or Portuguese/Spanish).
      I also learned English in school for more than 15 years. I'm currently studying German (I took one semester at University and lived in Austria for 3 months) and Japanese (self studying for the moment)

      Spanish, Italian and Portuguese are sisters. French are cousin, family but from further. French was very influenced by Germanic pronunciation.

      This proves that French isn't a Romance language at all. It's a celt language at heart with vulgar latin influence and spoken by Frankish Germanics. It's more similar to English. English is a Germanic langauge with Latin influence. I bet you could add a Russian or Greek and the Spanish, Portugese and Italian could understand the Russian or Grek far better than the French. They already understood the Romanian better.

    As an Italian who speaks also french I can understand why it was sooo difficult for them all: french is quite easy for an Italian if you take into consideration the "altered" pronunciation. Once you know how letters sound in french, it all makes more sense and even if you can't speak it, you can understand much better.

      Yes! Once you know that ca ->che/cha, and that -eaux/eux/->ello, esempio castello->chateaux, capello,->cheveux, it is easier.
      Other rules: et->st, ec->sc, ep->sp, examples: Etoile, ecole, epee become stella, scuola, spada (forgive the lack of marks on the vowels, I do not have a french keyboard).
      And there are many other regular rules like this to help. But it can be hard to figure them out in oral comunication! You need to study them a bit.

      As a portuguese speaker who's learned Frrench, I completely agree. The two things that make french unintelligible are #1 the heavily warped accent and #2 disfigured words because of consonants droppings.
      Once you get over the heavy accent thing, French becomes completely intelligible as well.
      Improvising french by making french-like adaptations to portuguese words works remarkably well.

    Italian: sibling
    French: sibling but early hanged around to much with the german and celtic kids on the other side of the river and showed early on an odd behavior and drank alot when french got older which made him speak different. Portuguse hanged later on with french for a bit and got affected and never really recovered as it was a lot of wine drinking. Spanish was really confused of how his twin was speaking as he got the same nasal speakin and wrote some words in a way but spoke them in another way but spanish tried to help. Gladly portuguese never went so far as french and french were locked from the family bcs of french's behavior and bad ideas. Sadly portuguse kid gallician inheriated her fathers speakin problems. Spanish kid catalan was aswell a problem as french wanted to revenge that he was kicked out out of the family so he tried to manipulate and support catalan to rebel against papa spanish. Spanish other kids asturian, and aragonian got badly too influenced by catalan but papa spanish saved their souls and they promised to never speak weird again and rebel and act bad like catalan. Spanish wanted to adopt the little kid basque but he was very aggressive and liked to rebel. He and catalan were both rebel bois but enemies to each other. Occitan were kid to french but aswell a rebel but he got alot of spankin by abusive papa french.
    So here we have the tragedic story of the romance family of how bad company and influence can damage and divide everyone and why french was like he were.

      You need either more imagination, or more exposure. As a French native speaker I found it very easy to understand the Italian lady, both in this video and in another one where she explains words that others have to guess. I've never formally studied Italian, but I'm half Corsican and I like to listen to Italian music so I guess this exposure makes it easier for me to understand Italian. I'm pretty sure you'd also be able to understand French reasonably well with some exposure to the language.

      @@guimaroes9107 it's very difficult por a Spanish speaker as well, the spoken french differs a whole lot from its written form, because there are a lot more contractions than in English for example.
      In regards to my study method, I don't really have one, I usually do immersion watching series with double subtitles with a google chrome app, use duo lingo for vocabulary and conjugation and some grammar, I watch UA-cam to learn grammar, phonetics and native content. I've heard that the ASSIMIL method is good, haven't tried it myself.
      You could start with some Duolingo at first, start with free online french courses for beginners in UA-cam like Français avec Pierre which is a good channel. Then a podcast that I can't recommend enough is "Innerfrench" who also has a UA-cam channel. It really helped me a lot to get to a A2 level to a B1 level. It's important that you stay motivated, and try to have goals as to why are you learning french so that you don't lost motivation. Even 15 minutes a day can help a lot as long as you're being consistent. That would be my initial advices :)

    well done again. the results were pretty much like the ones to expect: french is a little bit harder to understand for speakers of the other romance languages because they have quite different sounds. I'm looking forward to see what will happen with romanian, I tried once and couldn't understand much as an italian. Congratulations again, keep up the good work! Claudio

    • @luckyluckydog123
      @luckyluckydog123 4 роки тому +7

      yes, I agree. However once you have learned the pronunciation and perhaps 100 basic words which are different, French becomes really simple for Italians; grammar is really similar and the vast majority of words (maybe 85%) are nearly the same.

      the brasilians would probably have the hardest time with French, if they haven't had exposure to the language before at all. After a while you understand more and more, because there are some regular patterns to follow, like - ao= ion, and at least one similar sound in many words, like fazer= faire. With romanian it would be even more difficult, I think... we will see in Norbert's next experiment.

      There's a "cadence" or "singing" but in terms of grammar and pronunciation, it feels like they add "SH" or "ZH" to things where we use "S" or "C". In my opinion, as a spanish speaker, though italian has a more "clear" sound and I can visualize the letters and spelling, I might lack reference to understand it, so I'd say words are still overall more similar when you compare portuguese and spanish.

      because many words are written in a very close way but the pronunciation of that word can be very different, because French is not a language that is spoken the way it's written, you have to know how it works in French to say the words somewhat correctly

    I realized that pronunciation is quite different from the written word, in french. As a brazilian, I understood 100% of Portuguese, spanish and italian. Now, french.. when I only listened, I could get a couple of words. But when I started to read the subtitles in french, I could understante many more words (about 40%)

    • @Xerxes2005
      @Xerxes2005 4 роки тому +9

      As a French-speaker, I could say the same thing about portuguese. Your pronunciation can also be jarring, like the disparition of the final "L" in a word, replaced by a oo sound, or the "R" that is pronounced differently depending of its position in the word or if it is doubled, etc. It was far easier for me to understand portuguese with the subtitles.
