How it feels to learn a language related to two other languages you're fluent in

How it feels to learn a language related to two other languages you're fluent in

I'm fluent in English and Portuguese (native Portuguese speaker) and I'm currently on a French learning journey (by that I mean I understand a decent amount and just force myself to engage with content above my level until it absorbs into my brain). When I'm reading French, this is what's happening in my head (I'm understanding a vast majority of the text from cognates coming from two different languages to the point where I haven't really had to study French a lot). I will be taking my French learning more seriously soon don't worry, but as of right now this is the situation. I thought it would be interesting to share for other polyglots!
