So I have been learning French in high school for five years, and I am just starting to understand it pretty well, and I am beginning to be able to think in it. This is my first year in college (univeristy) and because Spanish is spoken by many people where I live, I have started studying Spanish, as well as continuing my French. I really like both of the languages and enjoy studying them, but I have a little problem. Now when I try to speak or think in French, Spanish words keep popping into my head from time to time. Of course I realize quickly that it is a Spanish word, and think of the French equivalent, but I am afraid that as I get better at Spanish this will happen more often. It is difficult because the two languages are kind of similar. I think if I were learning two completely different languages this would not be as much of a problem. I am afraid that I am going to lose my French! Does this get better with time, being able to "think" in two different foreign languages without mixing them up? If anyone has learned two foreign languages that are somewhat similar to each other I would love your opinions or advice! ~Jessica
