Can someone just………………. explain French to me?

its spanish but you speak it in cursive

You have 11 letters. You pronounce 4 of them.

Learn to speak spanish. Now learn to speak italian. Now subtract the spanish from italian. You are left with french.

Latin, but then make it fashion

Leave Latin out of this. French is a Gothic language that dresses up as a Romance language for Halloween. 

A lot of letters are written but not said. But when you see a French word written down you know how to pronounce it. (Note: The reverse is often not true.)

In contrast to English, where you see a word written down you’ve never heard said out loud and you just have to take a wild stab at The Vowels and The Stress and most probably be wrong, as you will find out years later.
