French vs Italian - FAQ
- Is French or Italian harder to learn?
- We won't rank them: it depends on what you already speak. Both conjugate the same way (verbs change according to who is acting), and Semantix drills 6 tenses in French against 6 in Italian.
- Can I practise speaking both?
- Yes. The tutor speaks both French and Italian aloud, and both support pronunciation practice with your microphone.
