03/26/2008 | Apart from moving to Italy, I think the best way to learn Italian pronunciation is to listen to Italian lessons on audiobook. This also helps to improve conversational Italian as the lessons are delivered by a native speaker.

01/15/2008 | I have read somewhere that Italian is considered as the most melodic language in the World. I am not sure, how much can we trust statements like that, but it is indeed very nice.

02/14/2007 | This is simply the most beautiful language ever. It's pretty easy to learn, although I'd have to say learning the conjugations is the toughest part. Although Italian is amazing when spoken, it's even more beautiful sung. Laura Pausini and Nek are two great singers. It's much more logical than French in terms of rules and such, and the numbers make much more sense. Even though it's not useful as most languages, just learning it is rewarding enough. Last but not least, the Italian people are some of the most good-looking in the world. And friendly, too so if you make mistakes in your grammar, they'll be happy to help you out.

12/11/2006 | Accents vary hugely across Italy with some more easy on the ears than others. My rating's unashamedly biased as my mum's Italian and I speak it fluently. I live in the UK and so can also listen to it as a foreigner might hear it and have to say that it's the most mellifluous of all languages

10/04/2004 | The most beautiful sounding language (though I also like Hawai'ian)
A friend of mine finds the singsong sounds irritating, but it fits entirely with the romance of the country.

03/15/2004 |  I'm biased, because I'm basicaly a native speaker (born and raised in the US, but grew up in a household where Italian was spoken as much as English, maybe more). Italian ins a beautiful language, a lot more mellifluous than French, and at least to my ear, less harsh than Spanish and certainly than Portuguese. People (non-Italians) should realize that virtually everyone in Italy speaks two different brands of Italian, i.e., the national language (used in literature, newspapers, TV, movies, etc.), and their own peculiar local or regional dialect. There are dictionaries for some of the dialects (I have a Neapolitan-Italian dictionary). I think that the conventional wisdom used to be that Italian was the language of love - maybe yes, maybe no, but it does seem to bring out the romantic in lots of people. There's just something about it. As I said at the outset, I'm biased, but I also speak French, German, and Spanish (all passably well), and I don't think that any of them really compare favorably to Italian.
