Really? I mean, Portugese, sure...but Italian? That's closer to Spanish than
French? I find that a little hard to believe. However, I am only barely able
to hold a conversation in French, and don't speak any of the others...so what
do I know?

Can you give any examples, Carlos? Enquiring minds want to know.
