Parli Italiano?

I got a nice note from Enzo, a blogger from Italy. He wanted to let me know that many Italians are repulsed by European Anti-Americanism. He also wanted to let anyone who speaks Italian know that they are more than welcome to visit his weblog, "1972".

I wish I spoke Italian.

(Actually I have long had an odd fantasy of learning to speak Latin, Portuguese, Italian, and Arabic. I'm not sure why.)

Dean - Italian is probably the easiest of all the romance languages. It also sounds way cooler than any of the others.

Of course, having gone to the site, I now realize exactly how much I've forgotten in the five years since I last used any...

I'm learning Latin right now. I'm told that it is one of the easiest of the languages to learn...

Ho pensato che quasi tutti gli americani sapevano parlare l'italiano. Non e' vero?

Ad ogni modo, Enzo ha un blog dove le notizia e' tratto dai giornali scritto in inglese, per il maggiore parte. Solamente i suoi commenti sono scritto in italiano. Tutto chiaro adesso?

Dean, it should be easy for you to pick up all four languages because they all belong to the "Earth languages" group, and are nearly identical.

If you took on Klingon, on the other hand, that would be a major undertaking.
