Probably.
I've taken Spanish for seven years and this semester I started Italian. While my Spanish has definitely helped in some respects, since the languages are so similar, it has definitely been confusing in others. I'm probably reading at a lot higher level than I would be, thanks to the words being very similar to Spanish -- but speaking is a lot harder than it should be because I get some of the Spanish and Italian words confused. It drives my TAs crazy.
Spanish and French aren't as similar as Spanish and Italian but they're still pretty close, so I wouldn't be surprised if you had the same issue.
