Dwalin I didn't know you were Russian. Have you lived in Italy? You seem to have pretty good knowledge of its culture. I'm Albanian and we pretty much grew up with Italian shows, TV, movies and it came naturally as a second language. Unfortunately English was more useful so I stopped bothering with Italian. I still understand it and speak it, just not fluently.
I live in Italy now, have moved to Milan from Russia as an early teen with my parents (and the cat as well
) , about 15 years ago. People are friendly here, although I miss the snow in winter.
But Albanian is a language completely different from the ones originated from Latin, like Italian, Spanish, French. Was it difficult to learn Italian and Albanian at the same time?
I also had to study Latin as it is in the school program everywhere in Italy, some ways of modifying the words (the cases: nominative, genitive, etc) are similar to Russian.
