This guy should be the one who learnt Italian in a few days...I suppose he speaks perfect Italian

What is it then? I think that Italian is fairly easy for an Spanish speaker.

Do you all think that an italian could learn Spanish just in a few days or viceversa? If you think so probably you don't know anything about studying languages.

I met an Italian which was in Spain thanks to the Erasmus students exchange program and he learned Spanish in just one month. Granted that his spanish was far from being perfect, but it was better than that of many Americans having studied Spanish for years.

Hey Folks What do you mean with a few days?? A few days are 7-8 days in my view

Pour commencer je voudrais vous dire que sur la toile on trouve pas mal de "conneries" sur les langues e la linguistique en général. Bien sur on y peut trouver de bons articles mais la plupart d'entre eux est d'un niveau très modeste. Pour ceux qui sont vraiment intéressés aux langues romanes, par exemple, j'aimerais suggérer d'acquérir un bon manuel de linguistique latine utilisé dans les universités et qui sont écrits par des romanistes ou des professeurs universitaires. Personnellement j'en ai beaucoup chez moi et je peux vous dire que les langues latines sont les suivantes:
Roumain
Dalmate (éteint)
Ladin (parlé dans quelques zones de l'Italie du nord et dans un canton suisse
Italien
Sarde
Occitan
Catalan
Espagnol (castillan)
Galicien
Portugais
Les autres parlers sont tout à fait des dialectes meme s'ils jouissent parfois d'un certain préstige local.
Je pense que Malloqui, qui est un homme cultivé, peut etre d'accord avec moi.

Guest (le dernier), bon dimanche,

Bien sûr que je suis tout-à-fait d'accord avec toi.

J'ai toujours pensé que Antimoon devait être un lieu d'échange et d'exposition d'idées, et très souvent il l'est. Quel privilège de pouvoir communiquer avec des gens d'endroits tellements différents. Quel enrichissement pour nous tous.

Dommage qu'il y ait des interventions qui le dégradent. Je veux espérer que ce sera des exceptions.

No, it's just the opposite, Occitan spreaded from Southern France to Catalonia. I think that they were the Cathares from Limoges who were prosecuted by the Catholic french and arrived to Catalonia . There they spreaded their Occitan language.

The past tense of the verb "to spread" is "spread", not "spreaded".

I appreciate your corrections but if you want to correct all my mistakes you'll have a lot of work.
