  1. Spanish is so similar to French. I speak some French and I can understand most of what Denis Moncada said without having subtitles. I translated what he said to French: "Le gouvernement de la république de Nicaragua déclare qu'il reconnaît que dans le monde il existe une seule Chine. La république populaire de la Chine est le seul gouvernement légitime qui représente la totalité de la Chine, et Taiwan est une partie inalienable du territoire chinois. Le gouvernement de la république de Nicaragua rompt à partir d'aujourd'hui la relation diplomatique avec Taiwan." Now don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily agree with what he said, but I'm amazed by the similarity between Spanish and French. I never learnt any Spanish I only learnt some French, but I understand almost 100%. I knew the two languages are similar, but I never knew they were this similar. You don't even get such similarities between Mandarin and Cantonese.
