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)
