when i started learning spanish, i'd often start mixing up french with my spanish cause i've lived in french speaking countries before and learned a bit of french while living in those countries. now it's starting to flip where i'm starting to think of words in spanish when trying to speak in french cause i rarely use french.

Try the french for Spanish speakers on Duolingo or the opposite. It really works
Whoa I didn’t even think about that. Thanks for the tip. 🙏
A lot of French & Spanish words have similar latin roots. That helps if you know natively one of them, but it can be confusing if you have to learn both languages 😅
Yeah that’s why my brain gets confused 😂
Last time I visited El Salvador, I sometimes would use French words by accident when trying to speak Spanish to locals. 😂
I guess it’s always relative to your first language. I found spanish easy to learn in school, because french was my first language. I imagine english is your first?
English is my first and learning French was really hard for me even though I was living in a French speaking country while learning it. Took me about a year to not be totally lost when communicating with people in French. Spanish is a little easier since I already know some French, but still not easy for me.
I understand. I lost a lot of Spanish since I don’t practice as much.
