Asking to compare languages is very difficult, but here are some basics:

French belongs to the Romantic language family, while German belongs to the Germanic language family. English technically belongs to the Germanic language family, but draws over a third of its words from Romantic languages.

French and German both require significant conjugations of verbs, something which English barely has. Also, French and German assign genders to nouns, while in English this only done for some machines optionally (i.e., she's a beauty, in reference to a motorized vehicle, ship, etc.).
