I speak Portuguese and French is crazy hard IMO. Harder than English or German. Italian and Spanish I find quite simple, but they are very similar to PT.

Wait!  Grooveshark is legal, and there are (if nothing else), several Ruins albums there.  Knowing how much you liked Koenji's vocals though, I'm a bit hesitant suggesting Ruins to you - there are only male vocals, but they're a bit more insane. We shall see.  Gotta wait till the baby wakes up though.  Or I could... Nope, no Art Zoyd for me yet. Well if you'd like, I could drop a link for a Ruins album here, and an Art Zoyd if you're interested - Grooveshark has them as well.  Just say the word!  (I haven't heard the Ruins album in question, but I've heard some tracks from it, at least part of the album is instrumental)

Linkage plz

For spanish speakers speaking italian or portuguese ir rather simple and at least you can understand what's being said. Now english is extremely easy.

Aginor's right; I understand a lot of French without any effort. In Romanian, what's not Latin from the very beginning, was borrowed from French during the modernization in the 19th century. Local influences are only in the third place (Slavonic, Turkish, Hungarian). That's obvious when you read, but when hearing it it does sound more like Portuguese and Catalan.

I took and failed a Spanish class (that I didn't sign up for and had no intention of taking in the first place) though. I went to private school.

So did I up until high school.

KA is a good choice.

I went to a private school and I only just had to discontinue my education in Spanish.  I thought I could speak it fairly well for a gringo
