Thanks, although it seems even harder than French. :(

Yeah, french and english have words and expressions in common, while italian is closer to latin, thus spanish and portuguese have an easier time with it. It is hard of people who speak these last languages to learn french or english, because they have less reference words and bigger difference in grammar.

That sounds accurate. Sounds like you'd have an easier time with it. I only know a few Italian words from Super Mario, lol.

Well, that counts!

Mamma mia!

Haha! I know another: "Per tutti i tipi di capelli"! It's on the shampoo bottle....

I have no idea what that means. :( On the bright side, it still looks easier than some other languages out there.

It means "for all types of hair". I was able to understand quickly what it meant due to similarities. For example, here are each word in italian/portuguese/english for you to get an idea: "per/para/for", "tutti/todo/all", "tipi/tipo/type" (look, similar!) and "capelli/cabelo/hair".
As you can see, italian to portuguese has similarities on pretty much all words, but to english it's way different, though you can still find some words that are close.

I also noticed that Spanish and Portuguese are very similar. I'm glad Nintendo games can be played in different languages, it makes it more fun.

Yeah, though even if they are similar, I can't understand spanish that well, only when the words are the same. I remember being part of a group of portuguese Nintendo players that wanted portuguese to be one of the available languages. The Wii U has now portuguese, but only a few selected games have the language. That wouldn't be so bad if it was just Portugal that spoke it, but Brazil too, and they are much larger of a country than us.

I would try to talk in this situation,but considering I'm only fluent in English and it's my only language.

That sucks. Personally I'm glad English is what I speak, there's no way Nintendo would include Irish. Heck, I'm not even fluent in Irish, so I'm glad for English.

I'm trying to learn French (Which is why I'm taking French),but it's much harder than what I was expecting.

It takes long. I'd say if you learn at least a bit every day, you'll learn a lot of French.

I have more trouble pronouncing it...

Do you have anyone you can practice speaking to?

Not really. Mainly myself,at least outside of class.

Yeah, that kinda sucks. I heard the only way to get good at verbally speaking languages is to be around it. All I can think of is watching French videos or visiting France or Quebec.

Pronounciation is the worst. For starters, writing and reading, as well as understanding spoken french is the way to go. Once you're used to those, try imitate french speakers

I do a good French accent though,at least stereotypical one yes.
