Also French lacks the progressive tense, the subjunctive tenses are less heavily used than in Italian and Spanish, etc.
Latin for Romance Speakers
Il faut qu'on sache qu'on les utilise en français, mais en les utilisant, il faut qu'on soit prudent...
Et aussi, il faut qu'on comprenne qu'en français, il y a plein de mots qui sont differents des memes mots en espagnol ou italien, mais aussi en italien et espagnol il y a beaucoup de mots qui ne sont pas pareils.

oh, and alessandro, cacio is RARELY used in italian. i even think it is strictly a dialect word. formaggio is used 99% of the time. i have never heard a SINGLE peron on the Rai channel use 'cacio'.
and, don't forget french has 'adeus'!

Speaking of Latin for romance speakers- what happens to something like this phrase-"Il veut s'en assurer de visu." I hope that is correct, I am not a scholar of Latin.
a. Okay in French-as is?
b. What if we put it in the plural, what happens to the Latin in a French sentence? "They want to check it out for themselves."

<<So Spanish preserves more Latin words. >>
That the words are not germanic doesn't necessarily mean that they're Latin. For instance Spanish "azul" is different from "blu/bleu", but is from Arabic, as is Italian "ragazzo" - "boy"
"marrón" is ult. from a pre-Latin word for "chestnut", so it's not Latin either

Azul is not Arabic , it comes from Sanskrit. Italian has this word too: azzurro but means light blue (in Spanish it's celeste).
