    For a while I kept getting youtube ads for like, Disney World in a romance language. Spanish seems most probable, but it didn’t sound right? I couldn’t understand a single word, and I can usually make out a couple with Spanish. My best guess is Italian, which often sounds like Spanish to me when I lack context, except I can’t understand a word.

    I doubt it, French is very distinctive compared to the other romance languages. It's not quite linguistically accurate to say it's a Germanic language LARPing as Latin, but phonologically it sure sounds like it.

    Could also be Portuguese, which sounds enough like Spanish that it confuses the heckie out of me because can't understand that?! But feels like i should???

    i've studied spanish, latin, and italian each for about 3 years, so at this point i can kind of read any romance language but i can't coherently speak any of them because they all jumble up in my mind. in particular i tend to jump between pronouncing consonants the spanish way and the italian way, sometimes from word to word.

    I can relate - I spent a long time trying to learn Italian because it's mostly mutually intelligible with Corsican and hey, I thought, if I have to take another foreign language in school might as well get easy high grades.
    That is the exact opposite of how it works, apparently.

    It wasn’t Portuguese, which I can say because I’ve actually studied Portuguese. European Portuguese sounds different than Brazilian, but not so much that I wouldn’t recognize any words.
