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.

[@michele3900]

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.

@@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.

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.

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.

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".

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.

[@valenesco45]

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.

[@ElikssV]

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.

[@almarodriguez9144]

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.

[@juliaevelyns]

No. I was reading the subtitles and couldn't understand nothing (5% maybe?). French seems like impossible to me 😅 (I'm portuguese speaker)

As a French in my opinion, the most difficult to understand for a French is Portuguese. Spanish is the easiest.

[@leandro_Esteban]

Spanish is the easiest to all the others latin languages... to us as spanish speakers is hard to get a sentance whatsoever other latin language is trying to express.

[@MaestroSangurasu]

Je suis tout à fait d'accord avec toi pour le Portugais par contre moi je trouve que l'Italien et l'Espagnol niveau de langage sont à Égalité à mes yeux

And for other Romance language speakers, most of them will say either french or romanian are the hardest.

[@joselassalle4958]

French phonetics/pronunciation is way more complicated than that of the other three languages. That's why they found it difficult. The Portuguese speaker acknowledged that he was helped by listening to the Italian speaker.

[@auce01fristo7]

Este tipo de vídeos son una genialidad desde mi punto de vista, y esto confirma algo que yo creía, que desde el español puedes entender cosas del portugués y del italiano con más facilidad, pero entender al francés es más complicado, y eso que el francés es mi idioma favorito

[@veng9484]

As a French speaker, it made me laugh so hard when I saw that we can understand at list a part of the other Latin languages while absolutely no one seems to understand French, like as someone who never studied Portuguese Italian or Spanish I could understand between 30 and 50 of what they were saying 😂

[@benetnasch_alkaid]

I think the problem with French is the pronunciation, If I read it I can understand like 60 to 80%, but when I listen to it it's so hard to understand. As spanish speaker listening and reading portuguese is really easy because a lot of the words are very similar. I studied French for 3 years and it's a beautiful language but personally think that the pronunciation is what makes it so different from the rest.

As an Argentinian: Spanish: 100% Portuguese: 80% Italian: 70% French: 10%

[@George-rb6bv]

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.
