Also, it doesn't matter when you start to learn, as it has been shown that even older people can acquire a level of fluency once they start .

How to learn Italian?
Here is a typical question: How do I learn Italian? Is it easy or not? First of all, Italian pronunciation is definitely one of the easiest ones as you just pronounce what you read. Once you know the sound of the vowels you won't have many problems of reading.

Usually these people
