E Italiano piu difficile di Spagnolo?

[MinervaItalica]

The title is already wrong.

Italian has a richer vocabulary and more words. This means more to learn.

If you speak Spanish, then Italian is easy (Portuguese too). French Is a difficult latin languages for the spanish speaker (not familiar with Romanian so can’t tell where it falls).

Not sure which one is more difficult if your first language is english.

El español solo posee solamente 7 vocales, a, e, i, o, u, el italiano vocales "largas" y cortas", yo no puedo saberlas

I think both are similar to learn, but Spanish is more widespread, so usually there is more people who learn it.

Practical difficulty of grammar is quite similar, same with any other romance languages, maybe French has more difficulty because its pronunciation.

Anyway, who must asses its difficulty should be Germanic or Slavic native language speakers not other Romance language speakers as we are.

Latin "plus", comparativo neutro di multus ‘molto’.

French is easy to understand written for an Spanish than Italian, I think, what is difficult in French for an Spaniard is to pronounce it correctly. Italian is easier to pronounce.

In the other hand, French is more difficult to understand spoken than Italian IMO. Portuguese is quite similar to Spanish written but spoken could have the same difficulty as french, because it has a richer phonetic.

Contrary to popular belief Spanish and Italian are VERY difficult languages. Because you can't start a basic conversational level until you get a decent command of a large set of utterly complicated grammatical conjugations (and I'm not mentioning the crazy subjunctive past and other niceties).

But all in all, technically, Italian grammar features more quirks, therefore Spanish wins to that point.

But still, Italian is easier to learn because the language is inherently clearly articulated. When an Italian (unless he uses his local dialect) answers a question, you can precisely figure out what he says, you can guess the spelling and write down with few errors the phrasing, you can easily remember the words and use them afterwards. The same can't be said of Spanish, especially in Madrid.

It's just like the difference between German and Dutch: learning German declensions takes half a life, but German pronunciation is so crisp and unambiguous that it's easy to memorize.
In comparison Dutch is so simple that it's a joke (like a Low-German tongue for kindergarten level) but the blurred pronunciation makes it less convenient to grasp.

L'italiano è probabilmente l'unica lingua sulla Terra la cui pronuncia non offre difficoltà insormontabili al parlanti di altre lingue. Ad eccezione della distinzione [-lia] / [-glia], che riprodurre non riesco perché mi sfugge assolutamente..
