Answer:

French is a Romance language, whereas German is a Germanic language. So there a very little risk of confusing vocabulary. The two languages share grammatical genders. Which makes them not so foreign language and yet not very easily confused.

Answer:

Yes, French and German are both foreign languages — assuming English is your mother tongue.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both come from the Proto-Indo-European family, however German branches off into the Germanic family while French is included in the Romance family.

More specifically, German is West Germanic, alongside English & Dutch.

To continue, other Romance languages include Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian; these are derivatives of Vulgar Latin, and further back, Latin.
