I think this test was highly affected by their French lessons tbh. As a Brazilian, I understood like 10% of what she said lol. In other similar videos, I could understand around 40% of the Italian and 90% of the Spanish.
Yeah, I'm Italian and I understand almost nothing of what she said.
@@nicoladc89 whereas us french people we don’t struggle thattt much to understand you usually , it’s funny
Yeah, I was thinking about it. I, as a native Spanish speaker, understood almost nothing of what she said
As Brazilian id say I understood like...20% of it 😂...
Italian and Spanish i could understand 90%.
@@mayfielcl Actually reading french it's not that hard, the problem comes when you talk. Damn it your fancy talking is so annoying, i mean it's not your fault but your ancestors made the language like this, with a lot of non-speak letters, fancy accents and closed vowel that make it really hard to understand to ppl who don't listen a lot to french.
Luckly in Italy you can choose French as a third language in middle school so that helps a bit.
the brazilian has a very good french accent that's impressive for 3 years
Mostly because of the nasal songs. The other 2 don't have.
@@igormedeiros8021 faz sentido. Num outro vídeo a francesa repetiu "Pão" com um sotaque perfeito. Nunca tinha visto um estrangeiro pronunciar o "~" tão bem.
Make the same with other 3 languages , Italian , Portuguese and Spanish and the other trying to understand
...
Up!
yes please
yessss, please!
yes, pleaseeee!!
The Spanish woman is bilingual, Catalan-Spanish and that gives her even more advantage in understanding French.
Not much when she doesn't know that there is glue called "cola" in Spanish.
The representation of Catalán is very appreciated, thank you
I am fall in love for Irene. So cute and funny this girl hahahahahahaha
I'm Italian, I've never studied french and I can't understand anything of what she is saying. Maybe catching some words when she speaks but outside that it's totally blank
io ho studiato 3 anni alle medie e ho volontariamente rimosso tutto dal mio cervello. Ogni volta che facciamo un viaggio e passiamo per la francia i miei genitori mi dicono "Dai parla tu, hai fatto 3 anni di francese" oh hell nah ☠
Italian is obviously much closer grammar wise (sadly it doesn’t sound Latin at all but more like Spanish or Portuguese unlike French)
Shout out to Brazil ✌🏼love your language its super fun💯
Please, make the same video with the other languages (Portuguese, Spanish and Italian)!!!
A lot of words in PT-BR come from French, because Royal Family were like France otakus back in the day. This is why we use like Papai Noel instead of Pai Natal, for example
Foi a melhor descrição sobre este ocorrido , tava explicando isso em outro comentário, mas otaku da França explica bem.
Outro comentário diz que o de Portugal foi bem mais afetado mas por exemplo a corte trouxe ainda influência pra cá o R forte usado no Rio de Janeiro
Tbh, many Indo-European leaders/rulers back in the day were Francophiles, but also French language and culture is what used to be English is today, it was the most influential and many languages adopted and borrowed French words, cuisine, culture, etc. There used be more French words in the Turkish and Persian language. They still often use "mersi" as "thanks" today. And many royal and imperial courts in Europe have French as their lingua franca. Heck, the English language has at least 40% words from English. I'm fascinated about which French words exist in day to day Portuguese. I find it fascinating hehe

I'm brazilian studing french now, and studied spanish for 3 years too. And I can understand very well castellano. Italian I understand very well if I'm reading, but some words are very similar sometimes, even the ponunciation. And french is the hardest, they have some similar words, but they sound veeeery different, including some letters they use to mute when they speak that makes it harder.
Quem inventou o francês só fez complicar as coisas,colocaram um monte de letras nos finais das palavras ou as palavras são pela metade.
The result suprised me. As a french guy who work in a store 10km from the spanish border, I can assure you that spanish people make no effort understanding french. As much as I try to understand and speak spanish, sometimes I don't know the word and use french, they're immediately lost.
I appreciate her slow speaking, because I understood a lot of what she was saying through my years of learning french in school in Canada.
If she spoke fast, I would be screwed. 😅
They should have taken turns, it would have been much nicer to see how much each of them could understand from the other languages.
"La cola" has a totally different meaning in spanish. lol
I clicked the video whenever I saw Lucie.😉
I'm from Brazil and I didn't understand almost anything. 😵💫
Cola is also "glue" in Spanish.
As portuguese speaker i got only 20% from what she's saying in french
So they went through all this trouble finding Spanish, Portuguese and Italian speakers to do a video on mutual intelligibility with French and it turns out all of them have studied French for years. 😂
I’m Swedish and even I understood everything except la colle and maquillage because I took French in high school 25 years ago.
I really do believe that them having learnt French growing up, have helped them with this "challenge". Plus, they were pretty basic conversational topics. Maybe they should talk about politics next and see if they still understand each other hahaha.
I hated my C1 French listening class cause we started listening to political debates, historical documentaries, and socio-cultural topics. I was struggling like most of the time 🥴😂
Sem ta a brasileira no vídeo nós ja chega como deixando aquele likezão maroto 😎👍
Espanhol é 98% compreensível para nós falantes de português. O contrário não acontece porque o a língua portuguesa tem 12 fonemas vocálicos e 19 fonemas consonantais e o espanhol tem um pouco menos (9 a menos,se não me engano) e não tem sons anazalados de vogais.
Cola in Portuguese....? how did glue turn into a sugary brown beverage?
we say the whole word (Coca-Cola), or we just say "coca" to avoid confusion.
Não é da sua conta gringo
@@thealexprime whoa bro we’re all trying to share culture and language here. acalmar
Actually, this noun came from the verb "to paste/stick", in portuguese is "colar". At least in Brazil, the beverage we call "Coca".
They are from different origins. The name of the product to paste papers has Greek origin, κóλλα (kólla), written as cola in Portuguese. Cola or Kola (from the cola soft drinks) originates from an indigenous language of Sudan and is the name given to a genus of trees native to the tropical forests of Africa. Caffeine extracted from kola nuts was a primary ingredient used to create Coca-Cola.
All three have literally taken french classes. So this is basically which of these random girls know French better. Nothing to do with their native language
I know, but is and feels easier to learn any other romance language if you were, for example, a native Portuguese speaker just because romance languages were born from the same core (Latin) and share a lot of cognates between them.
I speak Portuguese, I was born in Brazil and I live in Brazil. To me feels easier to learn any romance language because of the reasons that I mentioned. If I were about to learn Arabic for example. It would take more time, you know? Because I would need to learn a whole new alphabet, phonemes, verbs and vocabulary so that's what I'm talking about.
But, of course, it doesn't mean that everybody will learn the 5 most spoken romance languages.
I'm inclined to think that learning a language is a personal matter.
I love the Arab World.
Lately, I've been listening to a lot to Fairuz and Wahdon stuck in mind like glue, haha. This song is just sheer beauty.
I also can assure that most Brazilians know big arab world hits like El Arbi and Nour El Ain, because they were a sensation two decades ago.

In Spanish we also have the word cola. If you know synonyms in Spanish is easier to understand the other ones.
Colle is Cola or pegamento
Comprendre is comprender or entender
Chien is perro or can but the most common word is perro because many of those words in Spanish are used only in articles
Unless you say "cola de pegar" o "cola vinílica" nobody would guess you're talking about glue if you just use "cola" and there's no context
Legal de ser brasileiro é que nós não temos cara, se elas não falarem qualquer uma parece brasileira. Rsss
Great
Phonology wise French is really the odd one among the Romance languages. It's not surprising they all did amazing in this experiment because they studied French for a good number of years, in school, not just a month of Duolingo kind of studying. They might not have the chance to practise, or it has been way too long since they ever used French. But I feel that the knowledge would be there to stay. They might not be able to speak like a native but understanding main ideas shouldn't be a big issue. A more accurate representation would be to invite Spanish, Italian and Portuguese people who have close to zero exposure to the French language, that's gonna be much tougher for them and the results will be more realistic. 😅
The only problem is that in Korea most of them are from Europe where are often being exposed to french
The French vucabolary is pretty understandable to other Romance language speakers (also because French has been the most important language - the equivalent of today's English - for centuries and European languages are full of Frenchisms), but the phonology is too much different. As an Italian who never studied French, I understood very very very few of what she said. Studying French for years make you more comfortable with the phonology so it help a lot. With Spanish is a lot different, I never studied Spanish but - if they speak not too fast - I can understand quiet everything of what Spanish people say. Portuguese is in the middle I suppose. And this is funny because French is the most lexically similar language to Italian, Spanish is the fourth (after Catalan and Sardinian).
But I think that people from Piemonte can understand more than me, because their local language is closer to French than Italian.
2:30 🤣🤣🤣👌🏻👌🏻
The Brazilian sounds American at times ☠️
@@DjaildoQSjr she sounds American sometimes
She is used to mask her accent. That's why. But if you ask her or a Brazilian to let the accent out, you'll totally see the difference and I don't think English natives would even understand, haha.
What surprises me is the extent of the influence of French on English, because I couldn't pick up one word from Lucie speaking. You'd think we'd be able to pick a few words out.
"Ourse" makes sense as "bear" coming from "ursa". Same with "canis" and "dog". I guess it pays to study constellations.
I'm not sure where the English word "dog" originates from (Greek maybe?). We do say "canine" sometimes, you'd think we'd use a form of either the Latin word "canis" or the German word "hund". Go figure.
In Greek it is 'kuoon'. The word 'cynical' comes from it.
Dog sounds kind of Germanic to me but idk. Fun fact: German "hund" is actually related to the word for canine by way of Proto-Indo-European. It's one of those satem-centum things, like 'hundred' is related to 'ciento', or 'quando' is related to 'when'. In English, 'hound' used to be more popularly used, but it is still a readily understood word in reference to canines. Also a specific type of dog.
It's actually "ours" they made a spelling mistake.
Ourse is female.

I'm french and I went to Portugal last year for a week and I was really surprised because I could understand a lot on what is written on the road. I looked at appartment ads on the street to see if I could understand and I understood maybe 85-90% of the ads without help of google translate. I couldn't understand anything when they spoke but it's funny to see the similarities in our language.
I'll come back in Portugal because one week is too short. And it was really beautiful.
Italiano, português, espanhol e francês são bem semelhantes
Same! I'm french too and went in Portugal two weeks maybe, I was worried when we arrived because I just realized I didn't speak a word (I don't know why I didn't think of it before...).
But I could read most of it. I think the spanish classes at school also helped, but still it's quite similar.
But yeah, the pronounciation is really different so I couldn't understand most of people speaking, only a few words here and there.
As a Brazilian this is exactly what happens to me. When I read something in french, I'm able to understand like 70-80% of what it's written, but when you guys start to talk....well...😂
also, it’d be amazing if you guys invited someone from Romenia! romenian is the forgotten romance language, and i’d really like to know more about it!
Don't think there are a lot Romanians in Korea
I'm French i want to visit Romania this summer Bucarest and around it if i have time should i learn a little bit some different words before going ? (And if you know some places that have to be seen but are not seen by a lot of tourists)
Only Italians are able to understand Romanian, because Italian has 450,000 words but Spanish for example has only 95,000 words and we have forgot weird Latin roots in words.
Your language is quit similar to us french i think
At least we got some common words and similar prononciation
@@AixlaachenPax1801 sorry, dude, i know next to nothing about romania hahah the few things i know about are: its capital is Bucareste, the language has quite a bit of slavic influence, and that the economy was struggling. that’s why i’d really like to see romanian speaking people in these vids.
Ana is right, she only got that many right because she learned French a long time ago. As a Brazilian I could guess right the simple words but as soon as she started forming full sentences I got lost. Also not sure a Italian would fare much better, cause I speak Italian somewhat well( not fluent though) and was still lost, unless of course because they are so close they learn and use daily a lot of french words
Actually as a french speaker who never learnt Italian, I have 0 trouble understanding italians if they speak slowly, even easier to read. I consider it the closest to french.
Na parte em que ela fala que pratica Pilates eu entendi que ela era pirata. 😂
Italian probably wouldn't have any trouble. Italian is extremely similar to french, the vocabulary is almost identical. The only issues would be speed and accent.
@@zaydalaoui9397 but i think french and italian speakers have the same issue as spanish & portuguese, i sense french's can understand italians way better than the other way around, the same goes to portuguese speakers understanding hispanics better but not being understood...
now when it comes to those languages on internet (reading it) i think we can all understand what's being written pretty easily
@@genari4649 True! I think because some like french and Portuguese have really specific prononciations far from latin origin.

I'm Japanese and I've studied French for 4 years. I could understand exactly everything. My language, Japanese is way different from French, English or any other European languages, well Japanese is an isolated language so no one is similar, but still I speak 5 languages and of course could understand French. Yay!
Bravo !
Português, italiano e espanhol são completamente inteligíveis por terem um vocabulário muito parecido, mesmo quando a palavra é usada é diferente, mas pertence ao mesmo grupo, por exemplo a palavra ' mira ' em espanhol que é ver em português, mas o verbo mirar em português é fixar a visão em algo o que de certa forma é estar vendo algo, ou então a palavra finestra em italiano que em português é janela, mas em português temos o verbo defenestrar que significa atirar algo pelo janela, logo falando devagar e pausadamente é capaz de se entenderem mesmo se as pessoas nao tenham estudado o outro idioma. Agora o francês foge muito da sonoridade, mesmo devagar é difícil de entender algo.
I don't speak portuguese at all, I'm french and I learned Spanish at school and could understand almost all of what you said in this comment: pretty useful! 😁
That's what I love about our romance languages, we can sit down and have some coffee and chances are we will understand each other quite well. I'm spanish speaker and I already speak portuguese and some Italian. My next challenge is French, so I think that Italian will be helpful. Si escribo en español, creo que lo podrán comprender perfectamente.
we know.
Yes, I understood correctly about 80% of your comment even though I never learned portuguese and don't have any contact with portuguese speakers. I'm french and I shortly studied italian in college (2 years).
Yeah it's the same with french. There are a lot of cognates, most of them with italian but there are still a lot with portuguese and spanish. So some words we understand even if we don't use it in everyday language because it's an archaic french term. Like the cognate for ver in portugese is voir in french, but the cognate of mirar is mirer in french, which is a more archaic verb we don't use anymore but we would still understand. For finestra for italian, the french word is fenêtre which is really close as well
La española ni sabe español. “Cola” es sinónimo de “pegamento” y la brasileña tuvo que hablar para que recordara que en español se dice “libro” también.
actually, there's two words for puppy/dog:
portuguese: cachorro / cão
italian: cucciolo / cane
spanish: cachorro / can / perro
french: chiot /chien
both coming from latin "catulos" (puppy) and "canis" (dog)
it's just more comum to say "cachorro" in brazil, but we use "cão" too. even though "cão" is more comum in portugal
Cachorro means puppy in Spanish. Any native can correct me if I'm wrong
Actually in Italy we use "cucciolo" to indicate all baby animals
@Antonio Adinolfi interesting cause in portuguese we use "filhote" for that
@@matteusfreitas - In Portugal we use "cachorro" for a puppy and "cão" for an adult dog but "cachorro" is frequently used also as a term of endearment towards small or cute dogs, even if they're adults. We also use "cachorro" for hot-dog but that's a different story. 😄
In French "cane" is a bird like duck 🦢 ... 😄 . However we have a specific species of dog which call " caniche " it is a small dog with curly hair and the adjective to describe "dog's world" is "canin" . So we can get this same latin base for dogs .
How do you not have Romanian😢🇷🇴
Nice video, we would write bear like "Ours" and not "Ourse" though :')
Like, when I saw "Ourse", I actually paused for a few seconds, asking myself "wait.. in what language ?" even though it was supposed to be mine lmao.
Ourse does exist in French, but it specifically means a female bear, and is pronounced the exact same way, so you only notice the difference when written.
That's why it's way less used.
I'd say the first thing that comes to mind when reading "Ourse" like that would probably be "La Grande Ourse" (Ursula Major), because when we talk about the species, or about an species individual whose sex we don't know, we always use the masculine term.
Le commentaire que je cherchais 😂
cest aussi uneconstellation
I hope WF would make an "all Spain" video featuring Basque, Catalan, Galician, Aragonese, Castilian, and even some Caló. 😂
throw in tagalog (filipino) just because, strong spanish influence in there
@@Nitrxgen Maybe Chabacano, which is a Spanish creole. Certainly NOT in Tagalog, apart from some dozen acquired words in that language.
What are the chances you find someone who speaks Aragonese in Korea? They are one in a million in Spain, so what makes you think they'll find one? Also why Basque? It's a completely unrelated language to these Romance languages.
@@lissandrafreljord7913 I don't see any problem including Euskera in an all-Spain episode. They can feature Basque phrases like, "Eskerrik asko" or "Zer moduz" and have its counterparts in Castilian. A Basque person sounds just like a normal Spaniard so it would be interesting to hear a non-Romance language that is native to Spain. You're right about Aragonese but hey, you never know, someone might have ventured out in Korea. 😄
And Aranese Occitan
As a brazilian who doest not speak French at all I understood:
"My name is Lucy, I am 29 (got it wrong) years old, I live in the north of France"....... then I didn't get a single thing..... then I thought she was saying she loves magazines (kinda mixed with english here LOL), "I love fashion, taking photos, make up, blabla.... my loved ones"
Hobbies:
I understood she likes to listen to music and she adores doing pilates. Thats it. I couldve guessed the "valsa" though, i just didn't think about it when I heard it.
Thats what I would've guessed LOL
Also Brazilian and I thought she said she was 20...and the rest i got the same as you...
And she speaks VERY slowly and articulates a LOT. Typical French you find in Paris is more of a rapid fire mumble, that would be a lot more challenging. Grammar and lexicon are pretty close to the other languages, but I expect a lot of challenges would come from how we talk.
In formal contexts we tend to slow down and articulate more BUT we then enjoy making sentences that never end and using complex vocabulary to the moon t of being very convoluted. I don’t know if this would be easier - you might try listening to the traditional New Year discourse of the President if you can stand such a thing, it a good exemple of the typical longer sentences in formal French (the more you go back in time the longer they were).

I found it enlightening that the speaker from Spain (who speaks castellano) provides additional insights based on her knowledge of Catalán, another of Spain's many languages. I've also listened to some Catalán with Spanish subtitles, and could easily grasp the main ideas with nearly 70-80% mutual intelligibility. I'd have to agree Catalán sounds like a French Spanish hybrid with a touch of Italian, just faster and more fluid; not so melodic maybe.
Hi, im catalan thank you for realise
Catalan is the closest to French, with Italian pretty close. Spanish is next and much farther. Portuguese is the farthest, it sounds very weird and exotic to French ears.
Catalan is not very similar to Italian but it's crazy similar to Neapolitan, another language from Italy
The closest languages to latin are Italian and Spanish (Castilian). Catalan is much further from Italian (and therefore from Latin) and very close to French.

Very interesting.
French and spanish are very similar : 75%
in fact the sound of the French language is different from Italian and Spanish and it is also rather difficult to understand especially if spoken very fast but if an Italian and a Spanish read the French writing they understand it easily.

Well, English is basically a Romance language, if you delete the Latin/Greek words from the English, only 7 and a half words remains. When I was a student I always got good grades simply inventing Englishish latinisms when I didn't know the English words. 9 out of 10 you obtain a real English word, maybe words that no one really use or spelled wrong, but real English words.
@@nicoladc89 Thats not how you determine a language's origin, go try and make a sentence with only romance words
02:51 - 03:15 I thought it was"collo"which means"neck"in Italian. And the article is not _always_ reliable because the gender of a word can change from language to language.

"Coller" en espagnol, elle dit "pegamento"
Pour un français du sud, on aurait pu deviner car en occitan il y a le mot "pèguer" qui signifie que ça colle !
On utilise souvent ce mot quand par exemple l'écorce d'un arbre nous colle à la peau, on dira "ça pègue !"
In Spanish, there's also "cola" which is the (generically white) glue that carpenters use with wood.
Anyway I didn't get that word at first. "Cola" in Spanish has also a homonym which means "tail" in English (coda in Italian, cauda in Latin, queue in French).
And also a homophone with French: "col" which means cabbage in Spanish.
In spanish is "pegar"
"La cola" it could be a special glue white-colored
can you do one between portuguese from portugal and the one from brasil???
Concordo, seria interessante!
In French, 'ourse' (with a final e), means a female bear, whereas 'un ours' means 'a bear' (general) or 'a male bear'.

I mean, those languages all come from Latin, so of course they're similar. Latin was used as the main language in those countries up until 1000 years ago or so, it's relatively recent.
I really hope to see the next 3 videos the same as this French one😁🙏
And once again, you should include Romanian🇷🇴 too!
Moldovan citizen is also fine since it's also Romanian.
yeah i'm brazilian and i french is nothing like the other latin languages. i didn't understand sh1t of what she said
Merda - Merde
Presidente - Président
Amor - Aimer
Canção - Chanson
Obrigação - Obligation
Fazer - Faire
There are many similar words.
@@joao-paulo-santos2 The same person who forced you to watch a video about the French language and reply to my comment that was not intended for you.
Nobody!

This vid is missing someone from Romania, the distant Romance cousin by the Black Sea.
We know all about Vlad Tepes. And I know what placinta means in romanian!
@@joao-paulo-santos2 That´s right! I learnt it on Skorpius Martianus channel...an episode about latin origins meaning of romanian words.
@@joao-paulo-santos2 hahhaha not the case hhhh
@@joao-paulo-santos2 That´s correct. The fun fact is how placenta in latin becomes placinta (cake) in romanian.
Regardless of what these speakers may have studied, my takeaway as an American bilingual (trying for tri) is that much of Western Europe is truly linked by a culture and community of Latin language commonalities. It's a thing of beauty. I'm 3rd generation German American and I love my country, but we don't have that plurality here outside of Spanish speakers.
That's the sad part about the US, so many migrants and you guys still didn't manage to learn your ancestors' languages because it used to be frowned apon. The US has the largest number of German descendants in the world and yet, the biggest Oktoberfest outside of Germany is in Brazil 😅
Sí, tiene toda la razón. No hablo ni una palabra del alemán. La última persona que lo hablaba era mi abuelo paterno que nació allá y vino con familia durante los años 1910. Y es verdad que durante la guerra mundial II en Estados Unidos la gente se detenía o ponía en cárcel por hablarlo por las calles por mied de espianaje.
They’re also linked by tourism. All these country have a huge tourism industry and there are a lot of people traveling between them. We have heard the accents of the others country from tourists. And it’s not rare to travel abroad in Europe, a lot less than it is in the US.
Moreover it’s not just Latin. There is a current shared country. For instance with cinema - we know the cinema of each others and seeing movies in original version with subtitles is pretty common in big cities, even if we don’t know the language. It’s even something that starts early - I’m overjoyed that my 9 year old can now follow subtitles because it means I no longer have to watch dubbed movies ! In most cinema in Paris, dubbed movies are in the afternoon and then they switch to subtitles in the early evening : dubbed movies are for kids ! I mean even the latest Pixar I went to see had half the projections in American with subtitles and it’s a « kid » movie.
All this means we have a lot of exposure to each others cultures and languages. The situation is very different from the USA which is a huge country with the current lingua franca and thus is more closed unto itself and favors dubbed movies.

About the Latins Languages, French is the more difficult to me
Eu adoro esses vídeos com falantes de línguas românicas interagindo entre si.
Damas y caballeros, dejemos a un lado el ingles y hablemos en nuestras lenguas latinas 🧐🍷
Tradução literal:
"Damas e cavalheiros, deixemos de lado o Inglês e falemos em nossas línguas latinas."
Como falamos naturalmente:
"Senhoras e senhores, vamos deixar o Inglês de lado e falar em nossas línguas latinas."
Dame e cavalieri, lasciamo da un lato l'inglese e parliamo nelle nostre lingue latine
traduzione più colloquiale:
signore e signori, mettiamo da parte l'inglese e parliamo nelle nostre lingue latine
Mesdames et Messieurs, délaissons l'anglais et échangeons dans nos langues respectives, d'origine latine.
Como escrevemos:
Senhoras e senhores, vamos deixar o inglês de lado e falar em nossas línguas latinas.
Como falamos:
Sinhóras i sinhôres, vâmu dexá u inglêis di ládu i falá in nossas lhíguas latchinas.
Mas elas não vão entender o vídeo fala justamente disso o quanto elas conseguem entender
Se não estou enganado de ter visto em uma alguma revista Super Interessante rsrs O ensino do idioma Francês já foi obrigatório no Brasil, em um período entre os séculos XIX e XX.
Sim, em Porto Alegre algumas escolas publicas tinha/ou ainda tem, frances e ingles, ao invés de espanhol e ingles.
No meu colégio, tínhamos inglês e francês no que seria hoje o Ensino Fundamental 2 (o inglês começava no que seria hoje o 6o ano, mas o francês só no que seria o atual 8o ano). No ensino médio, naquele tempo, ainda se separavam as classes em exatas, humanas e biológicas. Todos tinham inglês, mas o francês era só para os alunos de humanas.
Mas isso já faz 30 anos. Não sei como é hoje.
No entiendo nada de lo que dice la franca, lo siento franceses pero solo sé decir sacre blu.
Colle es pegamento, pero tambien goma o cola.
Romanian just watching from the window
Un Ours for masculine and une Ourse for feminine 😊
French is one of the few things I liked in school. Although it's been over 35 years ago, I understood everything Lucie said, including "J'adorais commencer faire du Pilates".
She said, « J’adorerais » (“I’d love to”). But it's normal that you heard « J’adorais » ("I loved it") because we swallow a lot of letters, especially in the north of France. 😂 If you listen carefully again, it sounds like a double R. We don’t pronounce the E.
Em português dog se diz além de "cachorro" também chamamos de "cão "
Loved the video , especially 'cause it proves how different french actually is comparated to the others 😂
French has more influence from the Germanic language than the other Romance languages and Romanian has a strong Slavic influence. This means that, despite being Romance languages, these two are very distinct.
@@newton8698Spanish has more Arabic influence
@@EnzoRossi-g4v Portuguese as well, that´s why spanish and portuguese are so similar in some ways
it's the opposite ! This video proves how similar french is with italien, spanish and portuguese
@@newton8698 French and italian is more simular vocabulary than other romance language but the prononciation is different
Also French not influence Germanic influence Celts ( Gaulish than germanic
In Spanish also exist “Cola”, with only one L, which means glue, but it’s really old no one uses that word because cola also would means tail
In Catalan:
- Ós (bear, òs is a bone, careful with the accent😅)
- Cola (glue)
- Llibre (book)
I understood basically everything, I'm learning French and I speak Catalan (my mother tongue), Spanish, English, Italian and Portuguese, do I enjoyed this video.
By the way, dog in European Portuguese is "cão" so even more similar, "cachorro" though in Spanish means puppy. And I know that dog in French is "chien", I learnt that before I started learning the language in fact, watching Outlander's second season😅✌🏽 With these two sentences: "Un chien? Dans un Hôpital?" (A dog? In an hospital?) and "Alle petit chien!" (Come on little dog!). So basically I guessed just right after she basically said the name of the animal. I mean, I also understood the definition, but once she said "chien" I was like, dog!😅
In catalan is "gos" by the way.
benvengut lol
A nadie le interesa el catalán , parece que no os quereis enterar. Sigue el infantilismo de pretender como un niño que nos hagan caso cuando a nadie le importas un pimiento.

I'm happy, I'm Portuguese and lived in France for quite some years and I can tell you that I can understand all these quite easily, I'm not a good speaker but I understand quite fast.
Eu estudei francês na escola por dois anos e passados 22/23 anos sem praticar, no campismo consegui ter uma pequena conversa com um turista francês. Quando esse turista começou a falar as memórias de escola começaram a vir quase todas. Algumas palavras foram complicadas de perceber pois o sotaque dele era diferente do que eu ouvia na escola. Ao contrário mais tarde ao ouvir uma rapariga de 14/15 anos a falar não percebi nada porque falava com outra francesa e aplicavam o calão que para mim parecia chinês.
as a french speaker i almost understood what you said lol
Una española que no sabe que en español el pegamento también se llama cola como también adhesivo ...según tipos y situaciones.
French, even if it's a latin langage is heavily influenced by Germanic langages. The Franks from which France's name comes from were originally a Germanic tribe. So that's why French is mostly a latin langage when it comes to vocabulary but the words have germanic pronounciations. That's why most latin speakers consider french to be the hardest langage to understand among them.
The best illustration of this is that people from the south of France have a singing pronounciation close to the way spanish and italians speak, people in the north have harsher pronounciation similar to german or dutch.
I think your insight is right on. The 4 languages may have 80% lexical similarity, but that doesn't mean they can be understood equally in speech. I'm an L2 Spanish speaker, and have had a pretty easy time with some novice level reading of the other 3. In fact, I used to carry on convos with a Brasileña at a past workplace; she in Portugués and I in Spanish. We rarely missed a beat. But the French gives me fits in both reading and listening. Main ideas? Sure, but without the details.
It has more to see with gaulish pronounciation rather than germanic.
In the southern half of France the accent is different because the traditional language there was occitan (langue d’oil) and not oil language (from witch french is derived from)
@@fablb9006 occitan was influenced by iberian languages anyway but yes I see what you mean. Anyway this just shows that french is kind of the average if all western europe pronunciations blended together.
@D Anemon I said germanic pronunciation not vocabulary
On a vraiment rien à voir avec les allemands
I thought she was saying she loves pirate movies not pilates.
O just watch the videos with Ana 😂❤
The Italian girl is so cute omg
Só lembrando que no Amapá se estuda francês
