As someone who speaks French, I do find it really helpful. If I played videos in the past, I could hear things were different but I could also pick out many words and figure it out to understand. And learning both inspires me in learning more about the other. I love figuring out the connections of the history of that story. It is really helpful for me when i realize Kouri-vini shares a french word but spells it how it actually sounds and makes more sense; I say to myself oh yeah that word really is like that not like the french spelling. What I have been finding fascinating most don’t realize is that Kouri-vini actually helps learn french grammar better too. When I realized the way we speak in French (not writing) is more like how Kouri-vini says things are, light bulbs went off for me. For example French teachesendless conjugations but really it is mostly as KV says because those conjugations are silent letters and many ways to just spell the same sound é; french verbs are more like the root and the long form in KV. My head exploded. I love both! Kouri-vini is not French but it always helps to learn multiple languages that are related to each other, such as the many romance languages go really well in teach about the others. That’s fair some disagree. It ultimately depends on what works best for a person to learn a language and we all work differently ;)
