French has gender, and native English speakers don't naturally assign an arbitrary gender to their nouns.
You have to remember that adjectives have to agree with the nouns they're modifying both in gender AND in number.
French also has verb conjugations and, wouldn't you know it, the most common ones – être (to be) and avoir (to have) – are among the most irregular and annoying ones.
The pronunciation also involves a tricky 'r' in the back of the throat and remembering that whole parts of words that would be pronounced in English are not pronounced at all.
That said, the language does share an alphabet and a sizable chunk of its vocabulary/etymology with English (beware "false friends" though!) and, once you know it, you can wow people by reading things properly in French restaurants.
