Latin is easy?
amerò = amare + ho = amerò = l'amerò = I shall love him
amaré = amar + he = amaré = lo/le amaré
amarei = amar+ hei = amarei = ama-lo-ei
the example in portuguese with the pronoun (lo) can easily demostrate the origin of the future tense in romance languages
<<Spanish future tense derives from Latin future perfect. >>
um, no.
In addition to linguist's more then adequate examples above, the sense development isn't there: I shall be loved --> I shall love??? This is equivalent to a present indicative deriving from a present perfect (i.e. I have done = I do)
no no no, honey
doen't make sense
Spanish future tense derives from Latin future perfect.
<<Spanish future tense derives from Latin future perfect. >>
WRONG.
That it derives from Latin is for sure.
All these unedecutated teens are ridiculous.
Latin is not easy, but if you speak a romance language, it's a bonus.

____________
is it really so? or is it only plausible that it might be so? any facts or real experience?
Latin verbs are easier if you speak a latin language and the vocabulary as well
Is German really more latin than French?? So french is a germanic language and German is a latin one? Is English Celtic?
Just compare the verb to love, present tense, in Latin and Spanish
Spanish: amo amas ama amamos amàis aman
Latin: amo, amas, amat, amamus, amatis, amant
Is Latin more similar to German........
Ich liebe, du liebst, er/sie/es liebt, wir lieben, ihr liebt, sie lieben
I love you love, he,she, it loves, we love, you love, they love
false friends might be a problems for Romance speakers....Latin is NOT an easy language for Italians! To an average Italian it takes years of strong efforts in learning Latin language to just understand any Latin texts. Writing and above all speaking Latin is even more difficult. More Germans can speak fluently Latin than Italians, thats a fact.

This is stupid I'm Italian and Latin is not difficult if you are intelligent and love languages
Germans are more intelligent than Italians.
"Germans are more intelligent than Italians".
