Sometimes I understand British

As a speaker Spanish, you will find simple Italian
understandable, and Catalan and Portuguese readable.

Unlike Spanish, native English speakers may understand some words of French, Spanish, and German--especially French, but the differences are great. I agree with Peri in that most native English speakers are hopelessly lost in understanding other European languages, but Anglos with excellent vocabulary understanding may comprehend many words from the romance languages.
