Guess the Italian word! | What is Italian like? with Jackson Crawford

Dr. ‪@JacksonCrawford‬ asks me to describe what Italian is like, and how it can be learned. What's difficult about learning Italian? What is easy? Is it easier than learning Latin? Can a speaker of Spanish, French, Romanian, or Portuguese read Dante and understand it? If you have questions not covered in our discussion, please ask them in the coments.
