    The English imitate the French language a lot, so I’d say they are worst for keeping away from France

      That’s not unique to the French language though. English a bit of borrowed from everywhere. Germanic, French, Latin… even Indian languages have borrowed words here.

        Yeah, what I meant was more like the pronunciation, especially some English accents have more to do with French than with Scottish or Irish

        As an Italian, I have no trouble understanding Spanish and reading French and Latin words in English. But listening to French and English accents is on another world to me 😅

          Well, more to do with Saxony tbh, which was a region of France that some Nordic Vikings invaded and then lived in so long that they became a bit French, and the locals becoming a little bit Nordic

                ok good laugh.

                Fr though. No offense, i speak both french and english almost perfectly, a good chunk of the words comes directly from old french. And they usually have a proper anglosaxon equivalent with the roots in common from dutch or breton (my family’s from britany)

                Saying english vocabulary comes from french is exagerated but there’s some truth to it
