French grammar is most complicated than in English, French vocabulary is larger and allows you to give a lot of nuance tona text ... I work a lot to having students translates from English to French and they learn quite quickly in general ...

French language is more complex than english ; the structure of the sentences is very different as french is a more elaborated and sophisticated language although english is a very direct and efficient language ; always straight to the point. the esthetic matters more in french and the content more in english.
Yes french language is easy to learn especially when the learner really desire it. From a start it may look complicated with pronunciations but all you need to know is to master the alphabet and the sounds first then get familiar with accents from there you easily know how to read and will understand words, gradually you will manipulate de language.
Yes french language is easy to learn for English speaking students, and English people are good proof for that
One thing every learner needs to know about the two languages is that both are languages that are spoken, alive,and can be learnt. But they are not 100% the same. It's advisable for learners of French to understand this from the onset. For instance the issue of masculine and feminine in french language doesn't exist in English.... For instance a girl is une fille, a ruler 📏 is une règle, an apple 🍏 is une pomme... Those are examples of feminine nouns , a boy is un garçon, a pen 🖊️ or a biro is un stylo, a pencil ✏️ is in crayon in french language those are masculine nouns. Ditto to abstract nouns they are either masculine or feminine. This is one of the difference between English and French language this diffence every learner must get used to.
Thank you for your answers, I loved your brainstorming. Based on my experience, it is quite easy to teach French to English speakers and vice versa because both languages have some vocabulary words that are similar in writing and different in pronunciation.
The differences between English and French French , is that French language uses different Tenses , we can use verb ( to have ) to express a feeling in french , french uses the negation differently , sentences are capitalized and punctuated also differently , the similarities between English and French : they are related in a sense , because French is a romance language descended from Latin with English and German influences , while English is a Germanic language with Latin and French influences , thus they share same similarity like Alphabetical letters , numbers , and number of true cognates

- As someone who is currently learning Quebec french, what is the best way to understand spoken french
I have been trying my best to learn french, of course I am not the best yet, but I am good with reading sometimes, not all of the time. But I cannot understand when people speak to me in french. Any useful tips would be much appreciated. My speaking is sometimes alright, I still struggle finding words as I dont know every single thing just yet.

Understanding Quebec French can indeed be quite a challenge! I would recommend first focusing on building a strong foundation in standard French (like the French spoken in France), as this will give you a solid base before tackling the accent and unique expressions of Quebec French. Once you're comfortable with general French, you'll find it easier to grasp the nuances of Quebec French. As a native Quebec speaker, I'd be happy to help guide you through your learning journey and improve your understanding and speaking skills in Quebec French.
