I can't speak Spanish, but since my dad's side of the family speaks it all the time I've picked up on some basic structures, honestly if it wasn't for that I probably wouldn't understand any of it.It reads so much like Spanish I can understand the whole thing (with just one word here and there that escapes me). I'm curious to see how everyone fares at this. If you just speak English, is it understandable? | ||

It's much for fun then any other language also i find most asian languages shouldn't rap it's cheating when outright all your words end with vowels. All langs are romantic when said right by the right person also | ||

Anyone who has no background of Romance languages and only English... can you read it? I'm only fluent in English (took some French when I was younger but remember almost nothing) and I can't understand very much. The first sentence is very clear, but I hardly understand any of the rest. I really think it's the close relation to Spanish that makes it so accessible for some people. Edit: Wow, Korean, English and some Spanish? How many languages do you know??? :O I'm also impressed with your commentating, it's really coming along. Keep up the good work.  | ||

Huh. I always though that it was, but you are correct. It is a germanic language. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_languages That being said, english borrows shamelessly from everywhere. | ||

English borrowed extensively after 1066 from french, before that a little from latin and much later again from latin. English is a western germanic language (as are german and dutch). | ||

That's similar with any Romanic language though. I only speak Italian as a third language, and still I have no major problems reading French or Spanish (or Interlingua). Listening comprehension, active writing or speaking are another story of course. | ||
