      Yes, that's the base, but then English also absorbed a lot of Scandinavian words due to the Vikings raiding and somewhat settling in as part of that, and England was also ruled by French-speaking royalty for a long time, so a lot of French filtered in to boot, so English is in many ways an amalgam of many languages in an odd mish-mash. And since it already absorbs so many, we like to steal words from any language anymore, hence the joke of English mugging other languages for loose vocabulary.

    English is germanic, while French and Spanish are romance (i.e. from latin). So that's most of the similarities and differences.
    But also, English has a lot of latin-derived words too, especially for more "upper class" or technical words. So although we say moon, sun, and star, when we make these words into adjectives we get lunar, solar, and stellar, from latin. Of course there are many more examples like this that weren't mentioned in the video.

      ​ @Antoine Mozart a language is more than just verbs (grammar, pronunciation etc...). And dont forget that France is nothing else than th)e result of a Germanic king (Karl der Grosse, Charles the Great/Charlesmagne) of the Germanic tribe confederation of the Franken/Franks split his empire due to Germanic law to his three sons: the western part became later France, the Eastern one the Holy Roman Empire and much later Germany - simplified. But important is to understand that not only France/French itself got this name from the Germanic tribe and is therefor of Germanic origin but also the French language is the result of the language of the former Gallo-Romanic (btw, also the names Gaul/Gallo/Celts = Germanic origin) population and different Germanic dialects: the Franken/Franks. the Burgunds (created by Germanic Goths tribes), the Normans (= North men/Nordmaenner) were Germanic tribes/Vikings and there are also more modern influences from Germany/Dutch and English which means that French has itself a huge Germanic part since it came into existance: this is why French sound more different than the other Romanic languages (and funny enough got its romantic soft touch), thats the reason why the French grammar is much closer to the Germanic languages, thats the reason why you have 10-15% of different Germanic origins etc. etc... dont forget that when the Normans (remember, an additionally heavily Germanic influenced 'French') occupied England and the nobility spoke 'French' while the majority spoke 'English' you had already for a much longer time before that a similar situation that Germanic tribe nobilities ruled over the majority of Gallo-Romanic ppl and influenced linguistically as well. Means: many words one might believe that French imported to English are in reality just of older Germanic origin which added to another variation of an older Germanic based language like English: words like Amusement, Allo, Arrangement, Avant-Garde, Camenbert, Chat, Hangar, Chairman, Chewing-gum, Javeline etc. Long story short: pretty much of this '41% French in English' is in reality also of Germanic origin. One could now also continue to tell something about how much Germanic influence was already befor that in the Gallo-Romanic languages - the old Celtic languages (culture also came from Hallstatt which is nearby Germany in Austria) have already >61% of Germanic influence. Also medivial Latin has a lot... one has to be aware about European history as such which was mainly the history of a few cultural influences: Kurgan at first then Celts, Germanic (even the Italic tribes (the Latins were just the most dominant tribe) came over the Alps from the what I would call 'Interface/Base' region of Europe which is today Germany plus neighbours. Over the time they mixed and influenced much more in different ways as the modern languages or selective history of the last 2000 years implies... often you got a forth and back between different evolutions/versions of the base languages. A good example is that the English 'Gift' which means in German now poison is still part of 'Mitgift' which is an oldfashion German word. So 'gift' is a kind of a return of an in Germany close to extinct world. Just like its funny how many French are scared about the anglification of their language not aware that many words are also just returning older French words ...

      You actually picked a good example of an Old English word that is seen as a more formal word compared to its French/Latin counterpart. It’s usually the opposite! Also, to me Middle English, and thus by extension modern English, is more the hybrid between Old English and Norman French. While the grammar is still more Germanic, it still underwent great simplification to accommodate the 2 official languages that used to be spoken in England (in: nobility, law and trade) and has just too much Norman French vocabulary in its essence to just be Old English with a grain of Norman French.

      no it has nothing to do with easyness, the thing is that english and french are considered opposits in term of pronouciation, so native french people tend to think english pronouciation is very hard and confusing too, don't forget that french is still growing as the language of Africa (which could make it an important buisness language), and still is one of the most used language in europe internal affairs and world organizations, as a political language. (And btw it's the world's second most thought lanuguage behind english)

      @@SaladeDeFruitt I have also spoken Spanish all my life which is also a Romance language and I still find French pronunciation difficult and confusing. Not to mention a lot of the verb conjugation sounds the same to me with different spellings. Remembering what endings are silent and what letters are dropped to combine words like makes my head spin. I have studied a little Portuguese and Italian and both of them I enjoy far more and pick up on much easier than French. I’m decent at understanding when I read French because I read and write Spanish but not at understanding it when I hear someone speaking it or heaven forbid trying to pronounce what I’m reading. Versus Portuguese when I can more or less understand the jist when I hear it. But this is my personal opinion. A lot of my friends who are from Latin America tell me they took French for years and still can’t really speak it. I am aware there are many French speaking countries in Africa. Unfortunately, there are conflicts in some countries between Francophones and Anglophones. There are French speakers in places in the Caribbean as well. I also know many of these place speak Creoles not (Parisian) French. In my own country the USA there are people who speak French creoles and that is a major part of the reason I could recognize some French words before I tried to study the language. For example many streets where I’m from have the word Rue in the name so I knew that meant street.
      I was mainly thinking international business not number of speakers. Everywhere I’m vacationed I’ve been told by people they were required to learn English to work in the tourism related industry. They’ve never told me they were required to learn French if they didn’t speak it.

    The thing is... French people and German people almost use the same "r" sound (voiced uvular fricative or uvular trill), but in many accents, Germans tend to pronounce the "r" sound like a vowel (a little bit like in English "but") when the sound comes at the end of a syllable. This is why the German girl has difficulties to pronounce "parc" the French way even though the French "r" exists also in German - but simply not after a vowel.
    However, there are also exceptions in Germany... People from the Rhine area (near Cologne) tend to pronounce the "r" like in French in all positions, not only at the start of a syllable, but also in the end.

    • @daylonmurray8068

      In Cologne, they also pronounce “ch” like in French (English: “sh”). So for instance “Ich” is pronounced with the “sh” sound more in the front of the mouth, while the Standard German pronunciation should be more in the back. That’s also true for the “R” sound, which in my opinion is stronger in Germany (except at the end of words as you said), but in Eastern France, French Switzerland and Belgium, the R is stronger as well. At the border of the languages, you start to notice similarities :)
