    not even close




    ps: i speak fluently all latin languages included napoletano. i do understand very well all the other dialects.
    I speak portuguese, spanish, English, very little romanian, almost nothing of french and Italian and I can curse you in russian xd

    I dont speak french, I know very little, it looks and sounds weird to me, although i can read most of it.

    PS. I think i forgot the portuguese he was referring was european, I speak the brazilian variant, it can sound similar to italian at times.

    French is basically Italian but with their own unique accent and way of spelling words.

    No offence but portuguese sounds like a Spaniard that had too many alcoholic drinks.

    Man, Romanian sounds like Latin with a slavic twist to it. Like vodka on the rocks with a lemon wedge meets amaretto with a side of tiramisu and they had babies.
