I took six years of French, two of Spanish, and two of German. I had an easy time with all of them. A few years ago we attempted to learn Italian and were brought to our knees by the possessives and descriptives (can't think of the grammar terms), surrounding which there are a gazillion rules. The verbs and nouns were not a problem.

Is it Portuguese that is closely related to Latin? Kind of a mix of Italian and Latin?
