great!

a mix of right and wrong pronounces, but surprisingly quite clear, The "J" should be pronounced like a "Y"

very different indeed

If you know some Latin and Spanish, you can understand Sardinian with few difficulties

Italian

Se conosci un pò di Latino e Spagnolo, puoi capire il Sardo con poche difficoltà

Sardinian

Spoiler!

Si connòsches unu pagu de Latinu e Hispagnolu, pòdes cumprendere su Sardu cun pagas difficultades

portuguese and spanish:

Se conheces um pouco de Latim e Espanhol, podes compreender o Sardo* com pouca dificuldade.
Si conoces un poco de Latin y Español, puedes comprender el Sardo* con poca dificuldad.

Not that different from Italian. I can understand it. Maybe i can have some difficulties to understand older population of Sardinia who speak a strong version of the language.

HOW VERBS WORK IN SARDINIAN LANGUAGE

Sardinian verbs are quite easy to master if you have a basic knowledge of Latin, because given that Sardinian language is the most conservative of the Romance family, the verbal conjugations have remained nearly identical to the four Latin conjugations.

IInd CONJUGATION

The IInd conjugation is composed by verbs with INFINITIVES ending with "ERE"

Verbal Paradigm
Latin : -o -es -ui -itum -ere
Sardinian : -o -es -ía -idu -ere

Not that different from Italian. I can understand it. Maybe i can have some difficulties to understand older population of Sardinia who speak a strong version of the language.

but surely more similar to Spanish or Portuguese in many things and to Latin in many archaic terms not present in Italian or in other Romance languages, there are also many differences in the verb-subject order, not to mention the verbal conjugations, plurals, idiomatic expressions and other thousands things

I speak neither Italian nor Sardinian, but I see a great difference, just in the structure of sentences that is not the same!

To say "Not that different from Italian" is dishonest (it is not an insult, huh): the difference is important and visible.
