You shouldn't have too many problems in a classroom setting.
Be careful when taking to folks on the street though. I can't tell you how many times I've been speaking Spanish or Portuguese to someone and I get a really confused look. "Doh!!" " I just said that in Italian!!!" 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I study them both, the cognates aren't a problem, the grammar is similar, so you'll be
able to pick the grammar up fast in one language, as you'll probably have seen the structure before in the other. Very, very, very occasionally I get them mixed up, but only when I have been using them both within about an hour of each other. Bon chance! ¡Buena suerte! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I see what you mean. Somehow, I don't see that happening between French and Spanish, though. Do you agree? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

thanks for all the advice! the only problem I could really see currently is on a conversational level for example if I wish to find the local church I'd ask "donde esta la iglesia" I'd replace iglesia, with the french equivilent "église" and just get confused stares.
