I definitely couldn't understand almost anything when she spoke Italian. I thought Italian was easier for me to understand because I'm native Spanish speaker. It was very fun and interesting.
As a Serbian, I must say that Italian is significantly closer to my language and easier that Spanish. Probably the geography is a reason. Serbian: Kada te sanjamo nochu, vidimo tvoja dva oka Italian: Quando ti sogniamo di notte, vediamo i tuoi due occhi Serbian also has usually identical plural like Italian for genders. Žena - Žene (woman - women) Dan - dani (day - days)
Probably related yes, Scherzo comes from a lombardic, a germanic language. scherzo (“joke, play”), from scherzare (“to joke, jest”), from Lombardic *skerzan (“to jump merrily, enjoy oneself, jest”), from Proto-Germanic *skertaną (“to hop, jump”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kerǝd- (“to dance, jump”). Akin to Middle High German scherzen (“to frolic, jump merrily, hop up and down”) (modern German scherzen (“to joke”), Scherz), Norwegian skjerta (“to joke”).
Nate, not sure if youve ever watched La Reina Del Sur w Kate Del Castillo, but your accent and cadence reminds me of one of the characters, Epifanio Vargas, its honestly scarily similar
Nate, if you study a bit of latin noun cases you'll understand the Italian plurals. The various romance languages seem to have favored different cases. Btw English plurals are no better. For example: man, men, brother, brothers, child, children, goose, geese, mouse, mice, wolf, wolves, antenna, antennae, deer (can be singular or plural).

Amazing, thanks guys for this video. Really helpful! Francesca also is a great Portuguese teacher!
Sto imparando l'italiano su Duolingo come un americano e parlante di spangnolo in questo momento. Un video perfetto. Gracias Nate.
Bravo! Ti ho capito.
@redmarble5624 Mi scusi.

Her accent in Spanish sounds almost native , that’a crazy that she never studied Spanish 😮
Her accent is from Spain.
Francesca! Amazing language tutor!
Musicisti usano un molte parole italiane. Tutto da “scherzo” a “più”
I wonder if the word "scherzo" derives from the German word "(der) Scherz"

Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian to some extent are understandable.
Francesca e molto bella .
