Whatever floats your boat ;). I just like Spanish and Italian more. I think I prefer non nasal vowels. I remember discussing Portuguese with a friend who understands Spanish, but cant speak it saying Portuguese sounds like mumbling.

I always got a kick out of it whenever he would compare words from unrelated language families and come up with false relationships. I so wanted to dispute it, but i liked the class too much to do that ;) (I had a biology teacher in HS get peeved at me because I would correct her false information in front of the class) ________________________________________________ The rattan basket criticizes the palm leaf basket, still both are full of holes.
