こんにちは、Eihiko-san!
You know, my best friend in college was from Milan, and one of my big regrets was not learning Italian when we lived together (I’d thought that tackling two languages at the time would be too much). In retrospect, I don’t think that this the case; Italian, like Spanish, is a far simpler and more consistent language than English or Japanese. I encourage you to try it out.
どうぞよろしく!
