I do NOT speak a single word in Italian, but except for the word "fastidio" I understand everything else to 100% and I mean it! I am Romanian who also happens to speak French. Most of the wording is the same (or very similar) in Romanian, some I understand for being similar to French, and the rest of original Italian words (mostly connecting words) I just happen to have learnt them in general or I get them right away out of the context. o seara buna! (see what I mean... :) )
