There are also notable differences in grammar. The Spanish language has more regular verb conjugations than French. Whereas, French has a more complex system of verb tenses.

When it comes to vocabulary, both Spanish and French share many words that have similar meanings but are spelled differently. To give you an example, French "grand" and Spanish "grande" both mean "big" or "tall".

Spain and France are also neighbouring counties sharing a border in the Pyrenees mountain range. As a result they share many cultural traditions, such as music, food and art. Because of this, people choose to learn either French or Spanish as a secondary language.
