Ecolinguist I have been learning Italian for the past 10 months. I was so happy to watch the first Romance language video with Italian because I could understand most. I’m a native English speaker. I bet I would have a hard time understanding Dutch or Afrikaans. 😀
Gabriel Moreno that’s weird because Italian is probably the language closest to French out of the three Romance languages there were in this video. I’m French, I’m currently learning Italian and I study Spanish at school so I know what I am talking about :)
@@stefanjasovic2311 Exactly. I'm a portuguese speaker and I also speak english but in no way on earth I'd be able to guess either of those words without any subtitles or text
Como brasileira: espanhol é nosso irmao, italiano nosso primo e frances é aquele ser la da familia que so aparece nas festas de final de ano e ninguem lembra o nome … é assim que entendo cada lingua 😂😂
the same as a mexican: Portuguese: easy Italian: medium French: hard the same haha, Spanish and Portuguese are like twin brothers xD and Italian is the other bro who is not twin and French is the adopted hahaha
@@Ecolinguist I'm also a native Russian speaker. Of course languages like Ukrainian and Belorussian are easy for me to understand 90% of the time, in second place would be the Yugoslav languages which I understand 80% of the time. Polish is a bit more difficult, but if I listen to it for some time I will be able to understand it 50% of the times. Bulgarian is even harder, at about 20%. My absolute worse experience was last year, when I traveled to Czech Republic. Understood 0%, literally could not understand a single word.
@@lissam956 I'm french and i think the guy can understand the other people because at the school we have to chose between spanish or german lessons . mostly take spanish lessons, it's easier than german. In this video, i just understand the french guy and a little the italian girl but not the other
As a Spanish speaker I understood Italian: 92% Portuguese: 90% French: 2% I understood some phrases and words in French but it’s quite difficult to understand the language , yet I want to learn French
Spanish, Italian and Portuguese are sisters. French are cousin, family but from further. French was very influenced by Germanic pronunciation. The Letter "U" cannot be pronounced by a spanish speaker but easily pronounced by a German speaker. Althrough, when you read french its closer to roman languages.
Français , u palatal , nasalisations, influences germaniques du francique ont considérablement modifié la prononciation. Francés, u palatal, nasalizaciones, influencias germánicas del francique han modificado considerablemente la pronunciación.
I speak the 4 languages.. and must confirm that French is the more “disconnected” one from the rest. Spanish, Portuguese and Italian are more similar between them.
@@josuerizo1 I can answer about me, I am 22 and I live in France. I learned it living here in tha last 6 years but it took me about 1.5 years of intensive learning to be able to understand and speak french properly. I'd say it's about the same time for the other languages of course with immersive learning.
@@josuerizo1 I just turned 22 years old a few days ago and I speak the 4 languages too. I was 20 when I could speak all of them at a good level. 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)
@@jvsb20 i know it’s so confusing!!! i speak french and somehow I could understand the Portuguese and italian and some spanish pretty well, a lot of the words were similar to french when written down, or similar to the sound of a french word, however french pronunciation if that makes sense is very very different, and so no one could understand the french speaker. although i think maybe if they read what he said they’d get it more

@@MrJack9325 Yes, and we don't have this kind of problem with portuguese. We may not recognize some regional words, but the main part is understandable.
French : Latin is such a great universal language! lets remove half of the S change the K in Ch, and stop pronouncing the last letters. No one will notice.
And add some "x" and "z" that we won't even pronounce, put a lot of two/three letter for one simple vowel sound like Beau instead of a simple "Bu" and start to say the words in the throat😂

It's funny how spanish, Italian and Portuguese speakers can't understand french but me a french could understand spanish and Italian very well, Portuguese was kinda hard for me.
c'est un peu faussé je pense car on apprend l'espagnol à l'école en général, donc on est accoutumé à la prononciation latine (italien/espagnol), on peut ensuite faire une comparaison du lexique entre les deux langues. Il faudrait l'avis d'un français qui n'a jamais étudié l'espagnol ou l'italien. Je parle espagnol, donc je pense que c'est la seul raison pour laquelle je peux comprendre quelque peu l'italien.

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.
I am studying french. Just love it. I can understand like 70%, but not able to speak, only simple phrases or random words. For me French is the most distant latin language. I would love to speak fluently some day
Really, im brazilian and the second one was really easy to understand in french... "Debutant" is Debutante in Portuguese, which means someone that starts something, exactly the same meaning...
At least among the major ones, yeah. But we also have Romanian which is very distinct from the rest due to its slavic influence. Romance family is a weird bunch.

Cheveux. And yet, they all come from the same root: capillum. "Ca", in Latin, often morphed into "che" in French. And "P" and "B", between two vowels, were changed for a "V". See also "Caballus" = cheval (horse).
@Ypensante Não pode escrever "kkk" , nos Estados Unidos é proibido e significa outra coisa , mesmo que o kkk seja muito mais engraçado , tem que escrever "hahaha"
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.
Wow nice explanation. I speak Romanian and Italian and I find that I understand French more than others who only speak one of those two languages, written French is easier though
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.
I realized that french is like English when it comes to cut some sounds, some letters are ignored, similar to European Portuguese. In Italian, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese we speak the way we read pronouncing every letter we see.
Italy, Spain, Mexico, Brazil and Portugal: *having fun at a party. French: * sitting alone on the corner . . . Ps. I love them all 🇧🇷 🇨🇵 🇪🇦 ♥️ 🇮🇹 🇵🇹 🇲🇽
Yeah, I agree, spoken French is pretty hard to understand at first, but if you stick with it, it will get a lot easier. I'm not French, I'm saying this as a native speaker of Polish :)
@@alexdinu9841 Perhaps. It's not true the other way round. I speak French and if you gave me a Romanian script, I would be lost! Maybe I can guess some words but that's the best I can get. Now, make it spoken and just like French, which you could probably understand in the written form, it will be hard to understand. And not to forget, Romanian still uses grammatical cases, something that all Romance languages except Sardinian have gotten rid of.
@@CaptainNoch I agree. But Romanian spoken slowly and cleary could be ok for Italian or Spanish speakers. French and Portuguese are really hard to understand though.
For me, as a French, I kinda understand all these language as long as it’s written, when it comes to pronunciation, italian and spanish are relatively easy but portuguese is really hard.
Similar to me. First, have to say I'm a spanish native, I understand better French when it's written, nonetheless I suck for the listening. As for Italian I suck to understand the writing, however if I hear it's pronounciation I catch almost every word. But it's funny because I've studied French, and not Italian 😑😂.
When I was learning French, I realized how similar French is to the other Romance languages. What makes French difficult to understand is just the pronunciation because the written language is easier to get. I guess this is because of all the Celtic and Germanic influence in French phonetics.
As an Indonesian speaker I understand: Spanish - 0% Italian - 0% Portuguese - 0% French - 0% But I watch anyway while imagining what would happen if I understood one of the languages
I totally agree with you since it is the same for me. As native Spanish speaker, I do understand Portuguese and Italian without no problem. But when it comes to French, things change a lot. Greetings from Nicaragua!
Yeah, French is the hardest to get, but easier when you read it. Something similar happens with some Portuguese accents to me though, even though I understand Galician just fine, but the accent throws me off.
Spanish was the easiest for me to understand, but Portuguese was a very close second. Italian I had to listen a little more to comprehend, but I still could. Most of the French I either failed completely or had to guess, even reading it was not helping very much. 😂 This was fun though.
where are the avocados? Ok, ma lo chiedevo per avere un'idea di quale potesse essere l’affinità con il francese: ad esempio buona parte dei dialetti parlati in Emilia-Romagna, in particolare Parma e Piacenza, hanno in uso molti termini derivati dal francese.
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.
@@TheRealWALLABI My guess, as Andrea was trying to explain in Italian, is that northern Italians tend to understand French better because of the local dialects which share a lot of similarities with French, compared to southerners who are just less familiar with it.
Impossible to associate French to the others romance languages. As Brazilian, I can understand Spanish quite well and Italian a little bit less. French is not possible even with subtitles. Need to study
You are correct and this is why I love studying French. It requires dedication and it is not a language you can automatically understand as a Spanish or Portuguese native. That said, it is a very nice feeling once you can speak more fluently! such a beautiful language.
As a french native speaker I could say the same from Portuguese... could understand spanish and italian quite easily, but understood portuguese only by reading subtitles. :D
Mexican here, I pick Italian as the easiest, and maybe french would be next, but I can't tell anymore, cuz I also speak french, but I would say that portuguese is the hardest for me.
@@mariolole8261 si sabes un poco de francés tal vez entiendas algo, de otra manera es muy difícil entender, las palabras y la pronunciación son muy diferentes que en español, italiano o portugués

Probably because of French writing. The words look similar to Italian when written. I think French people would have a harder time understanding if they revised their spelling system to match pronunciation.
Spanish and Portuguese: two egg twins 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.
Believe or not, Spanish also has a lot of words that they received from French such as viaje, aleman, rutina, flan, hotel, avion, jamon, jardin, botella, fresa, frambuesa, joya, galope, trotar, flecha, cable, sofa, marron, pantalon, homenaje, galleta, bigote, camion, blusa, chaqueta, cobarde, mensaje, jerga, vinagre, panquete, servilleta, carpeta, jefe, etc

You will never feel what is it to miss bread in other contries, it's not a cliche we do really like bread (not only baguette it's just one of the kinds of bread)
I think the biggest difficulty for other Neolatines to understand French, is in phonetics. In writing understands a lot, especially for those who know Italian or catalan.
i'm italian, about french speaking I understand something between 5-10%, but in writing it's 30-40% depending on what he says...if the sentence contains more latin words than actual french.
thats is SO true.. as a brazilian who studies french, we can instinctively understand MANY words written in french, but when they speak that's a whole different story lol.
Likewise! I am a native Spanish speaker and I can perfectly read and write French, I can even speak it with a prominent accent, but the moment someone speaks to me I am lost. I have to be talked to super slow to understand. It’s interesting how I watch something without subtitles and have no idea what it’s say, but the moment I watch it again with subtitles I can make sense of where the words begin and end.

En el francés, a diferencia de las demás lenguas romances, tiene 11 sonidos vocálicos simples, hay vocales que al final de una palabra son mudas dependiendo de la sílaba, lo mismo sucede con algunas consonantes, pero si la siguiente palabra empieza con una vocal, la consonante tendría sonido, en conclusión, hay que tener demasiada dedicación y paciencia para poderla entender

@@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.

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 RUclips like Français avec Pierre which is a good channel. Then a podcast that I can't recommend enough is "Innerfrench" who also has a RUclips 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 :)

As a Dutchman I found it hard to believe that the Italian and Spanish speakers understood Portuguese so well. It sounds so different. But maybe that's because it's the only language I haven't learned yet
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.
Perhaps imagine speaking with a German, or Frisian or Belgian Dutch speaker, perhaps you'll get the idea on how they comprehend each other despite different languages
See, I really appreciate this kind of honesty. Everyone always says that Italian is automatically understood by every Argentine, but that is not really so. There just happens to be many, many Argentinians of Italian descent, but that does not mean the automatic intelligibility of the Italian language for Argentinian Spanish speakers - if anything, Argentinians have a really good command of Brazilian Portuguese, because both countries are very similar culturally and linguistically, and are next door neighbours. Sure, there are many Italianisms in Argentinian Spanish, but that also happens in other places in the world that have large Italian immigrant populations.

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).

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.
Wow nice explanation. I speak Romanian and Italian and I find that I understand French more than others who only speak one of those two languages, written French is easier though
Esattamente. E' facile quando ti abitui alla pronuncia. Io ci ho messo 2 settimane.
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.
I realized that french is like English when it comes to cut some sounds, some letters are ignored, similar to European Portuguese. In Italian, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese we speak the way we read pronouncing every letter we see.

Mais ça ressemble au français en prononciation,
When I was learning French, I realized how similar French is to the other Romance languages. What makes French difficult to understand is just the pronunciation because the written language is easier to get. I guess this is because of all the Celtic and Germanic influence in French phonetics.

O francês p ler é tranquilo, a gente conhece as palavras, mas quando tem que ouvir, é mto difícil

@@marchenwald4666 Grammaticaly Italian and French are the most similar, they are different phonetically though
I'm italian and i understand perfectly Spanish. Very hard with French and Portuguese.
Probably because of French writing. The words look similar to Italian when written. I think French people would have a harder time understanding if they revised their spelling system to match pronunciation.
@@marchenwald4666 French is the most beautiful alongside Italian in my opinion though.
Spanish and Portuguese: two egg twins
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.
I imagined a soup opera
LOL
What about their cousin Romanian? What happened to him?
Believe or not, Spanish also has a lot of words that they received from French such as viaje, aleman, rutina, flan, hotel, avion, jamon, jardin, botella, fresa, frambuesa, joya, galope, trotar, flecha, cable, sofa, marron, pantalon, homenaje, galleta, bigote, camion, blusa, chaqueta, cobarde, mensaje, jerga, vinagre, panquete, servilleta, carpeta, jefe, etc

I think the biggest difficulty for other Neolatines to understand French, is in phonetics. In writing understands a lot, especially for those who know Italian or catalan.
i'm italian, about french speaking I understand something between 5-10%, but in writing it's 30-40% depending on what he says...if the sentence contains more latin words than actual french.
thats is SO true.. as a brazilian who studies french, we can instinctively understand MANY words written in french, but when they speak that's a whole different story lol.
Likewise! I am a native Spanish speaker and I can perfectly read and write French, I can even speak it with a prominent accent, but the moment someone speaks to me I am lost. I have to be talked to super slow to understand. It’s interesting how I watch something without subtitles and have no idea what it’s say, but the moment I watch it again with subtitles I can make sense of where the words begin and end.
No. I was reading the subtitles and couldn't understand nothing (5% maybe?).

Do you have any tips for me about your studying method or something like that?
I just started trying to learn french. As a portuguese speaker I thought it would be easy, but it is very different hahah
@@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 RUclips 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 RUclips like Français avec Pierre which is a good channel. Then a podcast that I can't recommend enough is "Innerfrench" who also has a RUclips 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 :)
Are you studying correctly?

As a Dutchman I found it hard to believe that the Italian and Spanish speakers understood Portuguese so well. It sounds so different. But maybe that's because it's the only language I haven't learned yet
For me as Pole I think the same as you as far as Portugase and Spanish.
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.

If you comprehend this phrase: bravo! You probably are a polyglot

I'm italian and I understand:
90% Spanish
80% Portuguese
2% French
è impossibile condividiamo circa l'85% delle parole con i francesi e l'80% con gli spagnoli
I'm french and I understand 90% Spanish, 80% italian, 2% Portuguese xD
+dylan .dog Fra,la storia della connessione coniugale tra ita-francese non interessa a un cazzo di nessuno,poco mi importa che le parole siano simili scritte,se al parlato non si capisce una minchia...magari 2% è eccessivo, ma siamo a livelli di 10% o giù di lì....molto più nella condizione di capire spagnolo e portoghese, secondo mio parere...
Sono brasiliano! Non ho capito nulla in francese.
Per noi brasiliane lo spanholo è il piu faccile. Io so un po di italiano perchè ho studiato qualcosa. Io in realtà non posso capire niente della lingua francesa. La lingua italiana dopo la spanhola è la miglore per noi, parlando su difficoltà. In questione di bellezza io preferisco la lingua Italiana.
+juan alfaro Ti può rispondere un altro italiano?:) Personalmente ritengo lo spagnolo molto facile da comprendere...le darei un 95%
