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.

I thought that it was a very well known thing that french and Spanish were latin languages and that english and german are germanic languages. Isn’t it common knowledge ? I thought it was, but maybe I am wrong and it seem some people have no idea of languages and cultures groupings.
This was a nice video 🙂
I'm not one to comment much because I usually watch the videos in a playlist but I just wanted to precise a little something for the first word. In French "to post" would probably be said "poster" rather than "envoyer" which is "to send", little nuance there. Also "post office" is both "la poste" and "bureau de poste" (the spanish being oficina de correo). Don't come for me, these are just a few things I wanted to note. I absolutely love these videos just so we're clear❤

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.

Welcome to Francesca, from Bayern. I'm American, my family emigrated here from Bavaria around 1880. I can imagine my ancestors (after meeting Francesca) asking themselves as they were boarding the boat to America, "Refresh my memory. Why are we leaving here again?" Love listening to French being spoken too. Been listening to a lot of orchestral music lately. Even as Bavaria and neighboring Austria have produced a lot of the finest composers, I find myself listening to a lot of Claude Debussy. I'm beginning to think the guy never had an off day. He's consistently brilliant, and the music titles being French have an elegance to them as well.

41% to 60% of english words come from old french. So it's not "latin-derived" , it's "french-derived". Saying otherwise is a bit of a travesty and a way to hide the enormous link existing between France and England historically.

In the US no one calls mail "post".
english is a germanyc lenguage with frrench and latin influences. French and spain have the same origin -latin-.
I never heard of post office being called post, maybe that's a thing wherever she is from.
I'm spanish and all I can say is that the one from spain is so awkward and isn't as fluent as she would like but she did it pretty well

Francais, Italien, Espagnol, Portugais sont des langues latines, donc il est plus simple pour un francais d'apprendre l'italien que l'anglais par exemple. Comme il est plus facile pour un allemand d'apprendre l'anglais que le francais, car ce sont des langues germaniques

Y’all should do a kind of tongue twister exchange. Like English “ Sixth sick sheik’s sixth sheep’s sick” vs Spanish “ Si yo como como como,y tu comes como comes, ¿Cómo comes como como si yo como como comes?”

La duchesse mit ses chaussettes à sécher sur une souche sèche. Les chaussettes de l'archiduchesse sont-elles sèches, archisèches ? Un chasseur sachant chasser sans son chien doit savoir chasser avec son chien. Il faut qu'un sage garde-chasse sache chasser tous les chats qui chassent dans sa chasse.

Hello guys, I am watching your videos gladly,I have been taking two languages course which are English and German language,I saw this videos in KZread and actually I wanna make a point,in my language learning experience English and German language that have been same main native language.What did I said,cause they had a lot of similar words.If I want to give example ,as you know,in German language which is verb,gehen kommen telefonieren haben ,that is all same meaning in the English language,I think German one of the best similar language to English language.But German language grammarly harder than English,I guess,and I would like to say thank you to sharing videos.See you soon 👏
Does this German rapper have polish roots? Kolega in polish means friend, not the super close one, still closer than acquaintance : )

All those similar words (Polish "kolega", Spanish "colega", German "Kollege" etc.) come from Latin "collega". However, Polish "kumpel" comes from German "Kumpel". The American girl forgot that there is an English cognate as well - "colleague".
