10th floor, did u catch what i mean? "40% English words are from French",which means English is affected by French most, but not just compare word by word.i know some about German, but compare to French, it is not the language that closes to English most.
by the way, for Europeans, it is very commonly that they could speak 3~4 different languages.My French teacher can speak 4 languages, English,German,French,Spanish.Now she's studying Chinese.---------------------danseurPersan
