The process of learning to read and write a new language is an incredibly difficult journey. Over the course of the semester, I have tried my best to teach myself Italian greetings and various vocabulary words. While I struggled to retain some of the Italian I learned, I found that my background in Spanish helped tremendously. Being a romantic language, like Italian, many of the roots of words are similar across both languages.
I am very happy with my decision to take this course because it expanded my cultural knowledge of not only Italy, but many other societies across the world!

We normally say 'romance languages' rather than 'romantic languages' but your point is clear.
