How difficult is learning Italian?
March 7th, 2010 | by admin |I’m a native English speaker, and I would like to learn Italian.
I can already speak French, Thai, and stumble my way through Russian.
How difficult would learning italian be? I’m especially concerned about the grammar (that’s my weak point in languages)

if you speak french, italian will be easy to learn.
example:
monsieur de bonne journee ou madame(fr)
signore di buon giorno o signora(it)

Don’t know, never tried. However people say that the latin languages are easier to learn. English is supposably the hardest because it’s really wierd complex and messed up lol.

I think that it wouldn’t be very difficult for you since you already speak 2 languages that come from latin.

Italian and French are both Romantic languages and they are very similar to each other. If you know French well enough, you can probably pick up Italian and even Spanish pretty quickly. I studied French for 5 years back in HS and college and I can pick up Spanish/Italian words here and there that look like it’s French counterparts.

you have a bit of an advantage by speaking French since italian and french are both romance languages they are similar in speech. However, you might have a hard time breaking away from French speech since it is similar. You will do just great its not all that difficult!

on a scale from one to ten, ten being really hard, one being real easy, I’d say Ittalian is a 6.

I am sure you will not have trouble learning Italian,because most words are from the Latin language..
You will be suprised how many words are very similiar,in the different languages.
Good luck.

Italian is easier than French, the pronunciation has no exceptions, you pretty much pronounce it as you read it. The grammar is no harder than French, and no noun declination as in Latin. Many words are very similar to French. The only problem I had when learning Italian was I ended up unlearning a bit of my rusty French, as at first my brain thought it was learning more French. Only once I was comfortable with Italian did my French come back again.
