I grew up bilingual with English and Spanish. I learned French in school for like 5 years and became fluent in it at the time. I can pretty much understand Italian. And with some effort, I can kind of understand Portuguese. However, I'm intrigued that I understand Italian better than Portuguese considering that Portugal and Spain share the Iberian Peninsula while there is a country between Spain and Italy. Also, it's interesting to me that despite taking 5 years of French and never taking Italian classes, I still understand Italian better than French.

I feel like it depends a lot to who, in Italy, you are talking to. There are very heavy accent from north to south and a lot of dialects influences all over Italy.

Yeah as a french who knows 0 Italian (and the tiniest bit of Latin) I can somewhat easily understand written Italian, but when it's actually spoken it's an entirely different story
