French is heavily influenced by Latin, but also by Germanic languages. It shares a number of roots with English. English speakers will discover interesting things about their own language when learning French - as French speakers do about French when they learn English.

Learning a few hundred French words (the commonest ones if possible) should be easy for English speakers. And it should be enough to get your message trough, even if your grammar is bad.
