You can always quibble of course with some of the translations and things that they do or don't accept, but it does seem fairly effective (I've been using it for Italian, more to test it than anything else as that's a language I wouldn't mind speaking but can't be bothered to put too much effort into).

Mostly because my desire to learn a language is directly correlated to a country's history and literature. And post-Renaissance Italian history is not one I am fascinated with enough to care too much about.
I do wish there were an app out there to help me learn a non-European language such as Japanese. But I haven't seen anything good.

You'll probably be fluent in about 6 months at most. It's easy.

You will need to learn the subjunctive. Very much so.

Ah, but a question isn't a statement of uncertainty. It's a request for information.

There isn't enough Renaissance-era literature that you want to read?

Nope. Not too interested in the literature of the area. Not enough to learn the language

I think that is a very subjective question.

You would like Leopardi's thoughts on the two languages found within his Zibaldone

I will have to look in my copy of the Zibaldone on that one.

I want to say it's in the late 3000s, early 4000s, but I'm uncertain

Bolivia is pretty amazing and has a good exchange rate, though you'll need a visa. *NM*
