I was just about to comment the same! I grew up speaking French. Realising the two are so related suddenly makes me want to learn Italian.

Knowing a romance language already is such an advantage. Picking up Italian if you know Spanish, Portuguese, or even French is so much easier.

Thank you for that as it’s similar to French. I went to Italy for a week in 1997 and I remember this and I spoke basic Italian by the end of the trip but after leaving I lost it as I really didn’t retain much.

Thank you. There are definitely several similarities between the two languages.
