I lived in an international house with people from all over the world, and the general consensus was that Italian was easy to learn. I think part of the easiness is in enunciation. There is never a confusion between an a, an e, an i, an o, a u. While this is also true of Slovak, Italian grammar is fairly simple, though not as simple as English (whose grammar is virtually non-existent), it is certainly simpler than Slovak grammar which is as complex as that of Sanskrit. I imagine Slovak must be very difficult for a non-Slav to learn. But it makes it easy for us to learn other languages, and I sure like that advantage. :) Cheers, Adam ----------------------------------------------------------- "I think, therefore I am." - Seventeenth Century Philosophy "I publish what I think, therefore I have." - Twenty-First Century Action Details at http://www.OnlinePublisher.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
