Not necessarily especially if you've learned the language at school, analytically rather than organically. These words/phrases are wildly different in other languages, and thus well distinct in the mind of non-native folks. For example, in French: were -> étais; etions, etiez, étaient (2nd person, singular; 1st, 2nd and 3rd person, plural) we're -> nous sommes where -> où
