What is English like to French speakers since it contains so much French and Latin vocabulary?

[gandalf]

It is quite easy really ,
but you have to go in England to get some truth , luv' .

And yes it is quite pleasant that this international language
is half french after all .

[Grumpy Cat]

Easy to learn.

But when I was growing up, in Canada where packaging is in English and French, I always though English was backwards French.

Probably true. I did hear something once about English containing a lot of words from French which modern French no longer uses.

English inspires to us mixed feelings:

• when written, the uncomfortable sensation that English is an easier and simpler way of combining French words together ;

• when spoken, a heartening proof that we are not alone in that world with our obnoxiously illogical spelling.

It sounds as it got much more latin influence than previously estimated.
French the language is
1.Hard to learn for us germans
2.unusable mostly and not required usage
3.It Sounds much gay to me.

English sounds awfully gay.
Non-rhotic estuary English with its high pitched tones is an epitome of fagottry!

And there must be a reason why English speaking nations are gayest :


Australia and US found to be 'gayest countries'

Researchers have concluded more than 17% of Australians and Americans are involved in gay or lesbian relationships.

It puts the countries equal first in the world for its proportion of homosexuals.

The worldwide survey of sexual habits by Durex etc.
