I love the sound of Italian and Spanish
My mom (she's indian) sometimes teaches me Hindi, but Hindi is very hard for me

 

[kare2711]

Thank you all. So I'm right

A silly friend was told a funny pronunciation (and a vulgar one at that!) and I couldn't believe it, as I self-studied Italian for a while and it doesn't make total sense.
