One thing is it's probably harder for Americans of Italian descent like John Gotti to learn or speak Italian than it is others.

I'd say Gotti was dyslexic and or couldn't read or write English, let alone Italian - similar to a lot of mobsters back in the day.

I'd say it makes a difference if you have a strong family base growing up. IDK if Gotti had that. His father was absentee, right?

I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.
