    As a Native French speaker, I understand better Italian than Spanish

    And among Spanish variants, I understand better Mexican Spanish than Spain Spanish which seems so fast and too much "th" sound, Mexican Spanish sounds clearer to my ears and slower, so easier to get

    I'm not Italian, so I don't vote, of course, but one difference that strikes me right now is that in Italian there are far more words ending in a vowel (and it's pronounced), while in Spanish these are definitely a smaller amount percentage-wise.

    Do you speak any of the three languages in question?

    I would guess Spanish.
    Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live.

    Even if this were hard--that is how it is ! Assuredly, however, by far the harder fate is that which strikes the man who thinks he can overcome Nature, but in the last analysis only mocks her. Distress, misfortune, and diseases are her answer.
