      @@mathimatiki Italians are extremely different depending on where they come from, that's why the majority of central or northern italians never feel rapresented by the famous stereotypes or jokes on "italians", because they are always and mostly based on southern ones, which emigrated the most. Not that the southerns are worse or better, it's just that they are very different sometimes. North-East Italy is more central european or germanic compared to other parts of Italy (averagely colder people, workalcholic, more organized, less funny and so on...), i wouldn't compare it even to France (as the north-east and other eastern parts of France are very germanic too).
      Historically it's not that true : France and Italy influenced each other CULTURALLY the most, even more than Spain and Portugal or many others. I could go on days on how much it happened through history but it can be easily researched. Even the languages, despite being phonetically very different, share like 90 % of vocabulary (the most for both countries to another country) and a lot of grammar. When written they are brutally similiar and very understandable for both (even many "sayings" are very similiar, showing a cultural background). The sentence that show the slightly more laid back attitude of italians but the immense similiarites is the one of Jean Cocteau "french people are italians in a bad mood".

      @@jackieyo6128 It's called "land of the Lombard" because in their conquest, the longbeards installed themselves as the dominant class in the post roman/ostroghotic kingdom of Italy, and this influenced the identity of the people who lived near the centers of Lombard power. Being considered as lombard meant being of a better social status than being considered "roman". But eventually they were toppled when Charlemagne descendent to aid the Pope. Still, it would be wrong to think that northern italians are ethnically germanic because of the lombards. They had great numbers, but not in a way to replace the native population. Don't merge genetics or ethnicity with the medieval sense of identity.

      @@moonknightish Genetically italians don't make any sense in any case, i never talked about it except pointing out that they came from Scandinavia, so the cultural background of longobards is still the one that matters and it's been predominant, despite being ethnically, genetically or not effectively longobards even if they surely left some genetic imprinting on the population, blondism is higher in northern Italy, but that's not better or worse, it's simply a fact, i don't consider northern italians "superior" or anything like that (as there is higher blondism in the countryside of Tuscany, Latium and Emilia-Romagna compared to biggers cities, due to the fact that lansquenets settled in the countryside of those regions, it's an interesting trivia, you can check it out).
      It doesn't matter much caring about "native italians" when italians are composed by: romans, greeks, longobards, arabs, normans, celts, etruscans, other germanic tribes and so on...
      My point is that Lombardy (and Trentino, without considering Alto-Adige) is been the most germanic region of Italy culturally, i don't think to say anything wrong here.

    Im from the South of France from the region of Provence and we share a LOT of similarities with Italians, the Region itself honestly looks like Italy (I live very close to the Luberon) probably because we’re just a few hours away from the Italian border. But it’s more than that, the food is also very similar, over here we only cook with Olive Oil, My mom have never used butter ever before to cook, unlike the North of France that only cooks with butter. We are known to be more laid back and a bit hot headed and loud when we speak in the South of France compared to the North. The accent is very different too because of the dialects that people used to speak before (le Provençal) dunno anyone my age that can actually speak it anymore but we kept the accent! And some expressions that we use are similar to Italian. The thing is the country of France itself is so different depending of the Region you’re from, so you can’t really speak in general terms of all French people, Southern and Northern France almost seems like two different countries to be honest, the buildings architecture isn’t even the same depending on the region you’re from, same with accents and even the food. There’s things we eat in the south that they don’t eat in the north and vice versa, there’s expressions that we use in the south that they don’t understand in the north and vice versa… but there’s for sure a lot of Italian influences in the South East of France that’s for sure.

    En mi experiencia, el italiano es más fácil para mi en entender y aprender. Pase un mes de estudios intensos del Italiano y pude ir a Italia y tener conversaciones básicas con la gente. Por otro lado con el Frances si leo algo escrito entiendo mas o menos lo que se quiere decir pero cuando la gente me habla muchas veces no tengo ningún idea de lo que me dicen. Como la italiana, para mi es difícil distinguir cuando una palabra termina y otra empieza. Y algunos sonidos en el idioma Francés no puedo hacer sin mucha dificultad. Entonces considero estudios de Italiano más divertidos.

    I think it depends what your native language is.
    What's hard in French, is having to care about many small details that you just don't have in many other languages, but because the grammar is similar to many other European languages, it probably still is easier to learn French rather than Chinese when you're a Romance Language or English native.
    If your native language is somewhat close to Chinese, for example : Vietnamese, Korean or Japanese, I think learning Chinese probably is easier than learning French.

      Yes I agree. Ironically, Koreans think Chinese has the same structure to English, since it is SVO. Some people also believe that people in the western hemiphere have the advantage of learning Chinese than Korean or Japanese. However, having studied Chinese and some Europrean languages, I have seen westerners struggling with the structure as Chinese grammar is NOT the same, maybe closer to English than it is to Korean/Japanese, but doesn’t make it easier, so whenever I see people saying that I’d strongly disagree.

      J'ai jamais dis le contraire, je vois clairement la différence entre ma vitesse d'acquisition de nouveau vocabulaire en Chinois Mandarin comparé à l'Anglais.
      "Notre langue française est l'une des langues les plus faciles à parler"
      J'irais certainement pas jusque là.
      En terme de lecture, on a des règles de prononciations qui sont globalement consistantes, mais pas autant que par exemple en espagnol, le portugais ou Italien (si on exclut les nombreux emprunts à l'anglais de l'Italien), ou que n'importe quel langue d'Europe centrale & de l'est.
      On aussi pleins de sons qui n'existent juste tout simplement pas dans d'autres langues.
      C'est toujours aussi drôle pour moi d'ailleurs d'entendre les anglais dire "beau cul" au lieu de "beaucoup" 🤣
      Mais y'a quand même énormément d'inconsistance dans la prononciation (pas autant qu'en anglais, mais quand même).
      Entre les mots qui s'écrivent pareil en tant que verbe et tant que nom, mais qui veulent pas du tout dire la même chose et se prononcent pas du tout pareil (par exemple : "parent").
      Dans le même délire t'as même des verbes qui s'écrivent pareil dans 2 formes différentes, mais qui ne veulent pas dire la même chose et ne se prononce pas pareil (par exemple : "il convient" VS "ils convient").
      Tu y rajoutes les genres (j'sais pas si t'as déjà vu les règles pour essayer de deviner le genre d'un mot correctement qui essaient d'être mises en place pour aider les apprenants pour avoir une meilleure solution que de les apprendre individuellement pour chaque mot, c'est toute une science), les temps, les 3 milliards façons d'utiliser les nombreuses prépositions qu'on a, un petit peu d'emprunt d'anglais qui n'a même pas le même sens en anglais sinon c'est pas drôle. Et j'en passe des vertes et des pas mûres.
      Et une fois que tu penses que t'as tout compris, tu rajoutes une couche de verlan et de double verlan, ce qui fait que t'es supposé deviner si le nouveau mot que t'entends est vraiment un nouveau mot, ou bien un verlan...
      Je réponds régulièrement à des questions sur des groupes Facebook de personnes qui apprennent le Français.
      Et j'ai pas l'impression que tu te rends comptes du nombre de mini-détails qu'on a en Français et qui n'existent juste pas dans d'autres langues.
      Si tu les prends un par un, chaque petite règle du Français est relativement simple, mais c'est juste que t'en a beaucoup... vraiment beaucoup ! et avec pas mal d'exceptions, et c'est là qu'est toute la difficulté.
      L'anglais en comparaison, t'as moins de choses à t'occuper, mais la difficulté c'est que t'as plus d'exceptions que de règles.
      Alors que dans les autres langues romanes et même beaucoup de non-romanes, globalement les règles sont bien mieux foutues qu'en Français et ont beaucoup moins d'exceptions.

    French is hard and easy at the same time for a spaniard and italian, for example in the sentence in wich she asks how is the weather today they use the word meteo for weather, but in spanish we use "tiempo" wich is the same word that we use for time, and at the same way italians and portuguese people use "tempo" at the same way we do, but the french use meteo wich is the pure form in latin to refer weather that we dont use but at the same time we can guess after thinking a bit because in some words like "meteorología" (meteorology) the latin form is steel used as a prefix in a lot of words. So that is the thing with french, that you can see a lot of influence from latin but at the same time is not easy to get a lot of things if you didnt study the basics.
    Edit: Actually meteo is pure greek not latin.

      That's because Spain and France had a larger Celtic population than Italy that became Romanized. R1b haplogroup tends to be highest in areas of historically Celtic settlement such as Spain, France, Portugal, Britain, Ireland. Surprisingly, the Basque Country has the highest concentration.

      Actually I ve read that Italian and French have more similarities. It a strange because I, as an italian, find spoken spanish a lot easier to understand than french.

      @@lorenzor2555 French grammar and vocabulary tend to be more similar to Italian because standard Italian, which was based on the Florentine dialect of Tuscan, decided to incorporate a lot of French vocabulary, since French was the lingua franca of the western world at that time, much like English is today. You can watch this in Podcast Italiano's channel. Spanish also received a lot of French words too, but not as much as Italian did.

      @@lorenzor2555 Also, note that even if Italian and French share more lexical similarity, when these cognates are also shared with Spanish, Italian and Spanish tend to sound and look a lot closer, since they remained more conservative morphologically than French, which underwent a severe consonant and vowel reduction for the most part. Take for instance the word for water Latin (aqua) -> Italian (acqua) -> Spanish (agua) -> French (eau). French lost all the consonants, and introduced some new ones, while Spanish softened the hard C sound into a G, going from voiceless to voiced consonant. Meanwhile, Italian remained the most conservative, maintaining the voiceless consonant. This is the case with a lot of Spanish and Italian words. Where Italians go for more hard and crisp voiceless consonants (C, P, T), Spanish tends to go for softer and more slurred voiced consonants (G, B, D). For example, the word for open aperta (Latin) vs aperto (Italian) vs abierto (Spanish) vs ouvert (French). Notice the diphthong -ie- in Spanish where there is an -e- in Italian (fierro vs ferro, tierra vs terra, piel vs pielle; Italian must almost always end everything in a vowel), while the French spelling does not make it too obvious as a cognate for Italians and Spanish speakers. Word for goat, caprae (Latin) vs capra (Italian) vs cabra (Spanish) vs chèvre (French). Again, Spanish puts a b in place of a p for Italian, while French put a v, but also the ch and change in the a vowel to e, which makes it less obvious. Lots of French words that start with ch- tend to be a ca- in Spanish and Italian (chanson vs canción vs canzone, chauve vs calvo vs calvo, château vs castillo vs castello). One thing to keep in mind in French is that if you see a hat in the vowels (â, ê, î, ó, û), it is an indication that in the old spelling, there used to be an s proceeding the vowel. Knowing this can really facilitate learning French from another Romance language, as the other Romance languages tend to conserve the s in the spelling (for example, étudiant vs estudiante vs studente).

      French is definitely a Latin language. Gauls ceased to speak Gaulish in favour of Vulgar Latin. While they might have added the nasals sounds and other sound peculiarities, they mostly helped shorten Latin word (secur -> se-ur -> sûr), which makes it hard for other Romance speakers to understand spoken French. Franks invaded Gaul, yet they never imposed their language on the people, they just brought vocabulary (military mostly). In the written form, French remains easy to read for Romance speakers, because it has retained an older orthography before sound alterations and kept Latin logics, especially in conjugation. Italian and French actually share a very similar grammar and conjugation, as well as a very close lexicon.

      English and French have far more than 100 similar words. English is nearly 50% French, but actually, as English is a German language, unless you read those words the pronunciations are often very different. In fact this makes it hard for English speakers to pronounce a lot of French correctly, because they try and speak it like English. Chinese is one of the most difficult languages for English native speakers to learn, but not for everyone. It all depends on your native language. So I'm not so much disagreeing as clarifying. I think there is a myth that Chinese and Japanese are a lot harder than they actually are. If you want to have good pronunciation in French and speak it at a high level the amount of time you will need to put into it is not really that much different to Chinese, it will just feel easier at the start, if you learn it with traditional methods. I'm a native English speaker who learned French just from watching French natives, and it wasn't really that much different to learning Japanese (my first fluent second language). At the beginning it was just a blur of sound.
