    I got my book written in French last week from a German seller and browsed some pages. I felt 50% French words are English and guessed their meanings. figured out some formulas and graphs and got some sense of this book already...

        Technical language is pretty much internationalised. Literature definitely isn't!

            I guess it's the same in every language - identify the verb, and the subject and object, plus the adjectives, adverbs. The verb, action word is the most important to identify. Today, we have the advantage of having Google Translate.

              I have the same feeling... Both formulas and graphs looks very English (or Italian as well). :-D

                  I'm pretty sure it's the other way around; 50% English is French. A looong time ago I was learning some Norwegian, and found a lot of words were obviously the root of English words.

                    Give Baudelaire a go, then let us know how similar French is to English. ;P
