  • Being a Spanish speaker, I can't believe I understand Romanian much better than French
  • @CobraKaiNoMercy
    Spanish speaker here. 🇵🇷 Romanian is definitely easier to understand than French. For me Portuguese and Italians are like your cousins. 😎🤙🏽 Romanian is like a relative you haven't seen or knew existed. 🙂 And French is like that one member of your family you wonder how you're related to. 😄 Saludos a todos! 🇧🇷🇵🇹🇮🇹🇲🇫🇷🇴🇪🇦

    Just take a moment to appreaciate How they can keep up a conversation with each other in three languages
  • So I live in England,London,in a shared house...I share house with a Italian, Spanish and French...I am Romanian.And it is sooo funny when we don't know a word in English we say it in our own language and one out of the 4 will defo understand it.We always laugh at it.But yeah is true these 4 languages are indeed similar.

    I have taught Spanish to Romanians (In NYC). Let me tell you that the Romanian phonetic system contains all sounds of Latin American Spanish. They can speak Spanish with no accent. Unlike Italians, French, Brazilians, my Romanian students ended up learning Spanish extremely quickly, and with virtually no accent. Which probably means that Romanian intonation is very neutral. They don't "sing" like other Romance languages. // I forgot to mention that when you teach Spanish to Romanians and Italians, you end up learning Romanian and Italian. So I could understand the Romanian guy like 90%. La fel, usturoi, ceva, spate, apa, de obicei, ce face, capul, ma doare capul, merge la scoala, I'm sure I'm wrong, but all these words came to me after 10 years of not listening to them. Liftul, frumoasa (hermosa in Spanish, doesn't exist in Italian) very interesting video, thanks. // I forgot that my YouTube name, Visulino, came as a joke because one Rumanian student of mine called himself Visul, because he said he is very handsome. (He called himself The Dream) so I was making fun of him so I chose Visulino. LOL.

    Native spanish speaker here. When I first knew romanian was a romance language I felt I was officially 5% vampire
  • All the Latin's sons -Are you Okay Romanian? (Many centuries after...) -Da!
  • @SLFK_
    Romanian is such a diverse language, and I think that's what makes it beautiful and unique.
  • @Maya-iu8ki
    This is so funny because I’m Mexican (with Romanian roots) and living in Quebec, which means I speak Spanish and French, and understand some Romanian. This video was a blast for me!
  • As a romanian I understood: 100% romanian 70% Spanish 5% french
  • For those who speak Portuguese like me, Spanish is almost the same language, but I can understand a lot of Italian, Catalan, Galician and Romanian, but French is the most different among these Latin languages.
  • As a portuguese speaker: Spanish: 90% French: 40% Romanian: 45% Yes in my opinion romanian was easier than french, it also was surprising for me.
  • @Hikaeme-od3zq
    He sounds like an italian trying to do a russian impression xD
  • @alcapitan67
    As a Romanian, I understood 100% of Romanian 90% of Spanish 85% of French
  • In some regions of Romania, garlic is also called "ai" as in Latin or Spanish. En algunas regiones de Rumania, el ajo también se llama "ai" como en latín o español.
