Regarder means "to watch". That indicates the positive action of watching intently, with the purpose of seeing/noticing/getting information. This what you do when you watch TV (je regarde la télévision). You're (normally) not only seeing it, but staring at it to follow the events.

Voir means "to see". There is no special positive action. Je vois les nuages dansle ciel: I see the clouds (but I don't mind what direction they are going, or if there one of them has a special shape).

What is the difference between the English and french language?

The difference between the English and French language is that English comes from the West Germanic branch of the Germanic Languages, whereas French comes from the Romance languages, so it is related to Italian and Spanish. English has 60% words of German origin. and only about 30,000 French words have entered the English language. English has been influenced alot by other Germanic languages, from Old Saxon, which was spoken in Germany and Denmark, which was the base of the English language. And later by Old Norse from Viking Settlers and invaders who came to the shores of Britain. They added many Old Norse words, which are part of the Germanic Family tree. The Normans were Vikings who had settled in Normandy from Denmark, who later adopted French as their language, replacing Danish. And ofcourse after William the Conquerer became the First King of England, it is thanks to his victory that the French words have entered the English Language. This form of English with the French words added, gave birth to what is now Modern English. I do not know so much about the French language, but, you can see that there are many similarities in French and English, due to the Norman Invasion of 1066. If that did not happen, there would not be many or any French words in the English language, and it would sound and look more like German, than it does at present.
