October 6, 200915 yr C'est pas vrai, je parlais parfaitement l'espagnol quand j'avais 5 ans et le français pas encore... Non, sérieusement, par exemple vous avez 14 ou 15 voyelles et en espagnol nous avons seulement 5. Il y a 6 voyelles en Français (A E I O U Y) Le reste des lettres sont des consonnes. French I think it's easy to learn but the grammar/verbs conjugation is a nightmare for the non Francophone. Christine a donné une pomme à Marie qui l'a donnée à Paul. (Christine gave an apple to Marie whom gave it to Paul) Well, I meant 14-15 vocalic sounds, in Spanish there are just 5, all the A are the same and a single sound, all the E too, all the I, all the O and all the U, they are always pronounced the same way. The hardest part of French has always been the pronunciation for me, and I don't know why but I understand much better Belgian people or even the "Quebécois" rather than French. Spanish and French phonetics have nothing to do, and ironically Japanese phonetics are very similar to Spanish. J'ai été... j'étais... je t'ai... Je n'ai... j'en ai... je nais... For you it's maybe very easy to make the difference but for me it's really hard, and I am in advantage cause some things are similar in Catalan, but for the rest of the people...

October 7, 200915 yr B 7 N 8 @ Theron I think you have a better understanding of French language with Belgians & French Canadians because they are speaking more slowly then French. We are speaking fast - not as fast as Americans tho!- and it's not always easy to understand everything we say But French Canadian is sometimes a big enigma to me...
