Re: Living in Italy
[ QUOTE ]
Learning conversational Italian shouldn't be hard, the romance languages are all pretty much the same.

Conversational any language is very hard to learn (at least to be good at it). I mean any idiot can learn, how are you? and things of that sort, but in depth discussion about a wide-range of topics is the hardest thing of any language to learn.
Even basic Italian won't be easy to learn; all romance languages aren't THAT close. I only understand maybe one out of every ten words in written Italian and make that like one in 25 in spoken Italian... not much of a head start at all.
On a related note, does the language/accent differ greatly between regions in Italy?
