English and My First Language


The French and the English are two different languages, but they are a bit similar. Firstly, in the French language, sometimes we use some English words. For example, we use “hot” and “cool” to describe a situation that we liked. “It was so cool!” or “That’s hot.” Secondly, in the English language we use some French word like “petite”. We can use that word to describe someone. “She’s petite.” This is means that the person is very small and thin. Thirdly, in English there are some words that we use in French too and they are the same meaning. For example, “situation”, “differences”, “general”, etc. On the other hand, French is less easy than English to learn because in the French language we have different verb tenses. Also, in English we don’t pronounce the sound “r”, but in French we do it. In English there are no feminine and masculine, but in French we have it. So, when an English person learns French, he doesn’t make a difference with “le” or “la” and “un” or “une”.
