I know French a lot better than Spanish, but still if people talk fast I cannot follow them as everything blurs together... I would understand some of those sentences perfectly had I seen the written text, because I do know all the words. This is better with Swiss French as they generally tend to speak more slowly. In Spanish either I know a word or I don't, but if I know I will usually recognize it within speech, unless again at topmost speed. In Spanish I find the biggest challenge so far that the street's language is very different from the more formal language, so much that a foreigner often can't make head or tail of what is being said.

In Spanish I find the biggest challenge so far that the street’s language is very different from the more formal language, so much that a foreigner often can’t make head or tail of what is being said.

French and Spanish both have feminine and masculine as well as singular and plural for nouns. You might also find that the grammatical structures of Spanish are quite similar to some of French. Just to see this, let´s take the example of I am Colombian... in Spanish it is Yo soy colombiana, in french you say Je suis colombienne. This is what I remember from the time I studied some french. Hope this can help you a bit to solve this inquiry :) Dear Hyunwoo

I look forward to your experiences with Spanish as I make my first steps into it as well. I always think it’s interesting reading about language learning from a person who’s in the same boat as I.
