Finally the non sense is exposed!

I meant that they are all derived from the same roots of languages. English, Deutsch and Swedish are derived from proto-germanic. French, Spanish, Italian and Romanian are originally from Latin. I will check that book! But you are right, there are a lot of words that are the same in all languages even from Russian.

Check out the book. However. German and Spanish aren't that Simple. Hard to learn a language strictly from a book. Speaking a second language is an unrealized dream for me. Takes work. Boring by oneself.

Rushdie agrees with you.

We don't pronounce the "G" in Vaughan AND you don't pronounce the entire last part of Etobicoke. How am I supposed to know?

I know, right? We can skip the entire first half of Mississauga or the entire middle part of Brampton, and people will still get it.

Yup, that's what it sounded like when I met someone born and raised in Brampton the other day. Made me wonder if she meant Brantford (west of Hamilton) or Brampton
and she recommended 'Tobico' Creek as a near by attraction.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, segue is pronounced as seg-way instead of seeg. Make up your damn mind English I'm sure there are other words just like that. This post is brought to you by Manscaped.

Also in French we don't pronounce the T in Montreal... that confuse some English people.

You have to look at the etymology to get this one:

From French Montréal; from Mont Royal (“Mount Royal”) (mont +‎ royal), after the nearby hill.

In French, if a consonant is placed at the end of a word, it's generally silent. It's an overall rule. We never pronounce the T in Mon.

I had a coach when I was a wee lad in Laval telling me to keep my stick on the ice or as he said it
Put your 'ockey on da h'ice

There they were, French. Almost none of them even spoke the Hinglish and here I was pure squarehead. A few hundred yards more and I'd be in the English district.
On the plus side our 2 teams and their 6 teams played in the same league as 2 teams isn't a league and we always won against their teams so winning is cool. Also even if I was on the English teams, I was and am still a weirdo so maybe it was for the best.
