German sounds more like English than French and the vocabulary is closer. However, German is still an inflected language with four cases, three genders, and adjective endings which change depending on where they are in relation to the nouns: this part takes time to master. German also has a strangely inverted word order when it comes to verbs, especially compound ones. Both German and French use different auxiliaries depending in whether the verb indicates a change of state or motion. French nouns and adjectives are simpler than German, changing only between singular and plural and masculine and feminine. The plural is written differently but often pronounced the same as the singular, so number is indicated by the article or verb forms. French pronunciation is the biggest barrier to English speakers, and a close second is how fast French is spoken in everyday speech: many of the vowels disappear and what non-natives hear is a rapid staccato of consonants all run together (of course English is almost as bad in this regard). They both have their problems but they are both well worth learning as they are major languages of art, science and commerce. Besides, I study them for the fun of it, just like you. read less

No similarity except for script which is English ..both have diffrent grammar and vocabulary. Though French and English have great deal of similarity as many words originate from French language

Baby is neutral gender; there is no neutral gender in French. Vocabulary is very different and pronunciation...

The Beauty of German language

No there is no similarity whatsoever. Grammar, Pronunciation, Vocabulary, Intonation, Sentence structures etc everything is very different.

No. French is a very soft and sweet language. Whereas German is sounds a little harsh while speaking. German is a little difficult than French as there are 3 genders and all the Grammar in German revolves round these three Genders.
