As I mentioned before, the Romance languages are sister languages which are all derived from the language of Ancient Rome: Latin.
Even though they are similar, they are still very different, and speakers of one can only communicate to a limited extent with another.
Let’s see exactly how similar and different they are! In this lesson, we will have fun comparing the greeting “good afternoon” in the four Romance Languages: Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and French.
Portuguese: Boa tarde
Spanish: Buenas tardes
Italian: Buon pomeriggio
French: bonne après-midi
As you can see, similar but not the same!
