I know that in regards to writing, there are tons of cognates but that’s only in text (such as: hôtel / hotel, table, garage & etc). Instead, can speakers of either language understand each other when having a verbal face to face conversation? Both languages are from different backgrounds: French is part of the Romance group while English is a Germanic one.
I wish I’d taken Spanish. I grew up in California and live in New Mexico. Why did I take French, what the hell was I thinking?
Well, I know what I was thinking, ‘everyone takes Spanish, I’ll be different.’ I’m an idiot.
see i was kinda the opposite. I just went with the default. Thing is I was never very good at language to begin with. and foregn language im even worse. I wish I had a heck of a time with sentence structure and wish I went with something that was more subject verb object.
