Can English speakers understand spoken French?

Guest · 2026-06-22T13:31:13+02:00

I know that in regards to writing, there are tons of cognates but that's only in text (such as: hôtel / hotel, table, garage & etc). Instead, can speakers of either language understand each other when having a verbal face to face conversation? Both languages are from different backgrounds: French is part of the Romance group while English is a Germanic one.

Native English speaker who learned French to a high (B2-C1) level as an adult here: not even a little bit, and any parts that you think you got the gist of are likely misunderstood.
