    a little OT but I just wanna share some FrankDrebin's anecdote...

    I call my company whom I am working as of this day a United Nation Co. Why? We're only a small co. but a part of a big fish in the business yet we're composed of a Spaniard for a prexy, an Italian for a veep, Japanese for directors, Americans for the onshore peeps, Chinese for management and 4 of us full blooded Filipinos.

    Ok back to the topics, as if related :D, the Italian accent is somewhat IMO is very easy for us and correct me if I'm wrong it is somewhat related or similar with Spanish Language which is in some way we Filipinos are familiar with.

    We once have a French girl guest who can speak both English but not very clear and French of course but she is having a very hard time pronouncing some English just like the Japanese. We have a hard time talking/asking especially when she ask me if I have a cigarette lighter. Anyway, we ended up using the sign language. Which is why French IMO is or will be difficult to learn for most Filipino not unless your good at your tongue.

    Therefore I recommend gretzy to master the French rather than the Italian.

    yeah, it is relatively easier to study Italian. I actually love the language.

    But French is my priority, it will be easier to practice the language since one of my housemates is a French major.
