dude, french is hard. its difficult to write well, its really inflexible as far as structure, and listening is tricky because so many words sound the same. for example, i have studied french (albeit somewhat casually) for 8 years. i have spent the last 3 months in paris. i still find it difficult to understand people who are talking to me, because it is really difficult to picture the word on your head based on the weird spelling conventions. i know pretty basic spanish (spoken, ive never learned it formally)
as a result of that i spent 6 days in italy, speaking with italian people using french, and spanish with an italian accent, sometimes translating for my friends. i have had very minimal exposure to italian. i had surprisingly few problems understanding people speaking.
tl;dr: french sucks and its pretty effin hard
