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

You've got Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Ariosto, Boiardo, Torquato Tasso, Pietro Aretino, the poets of the Sicilian school, and other minor authors, and then after an admittedly long lacuna, you have Manzoni, Leopardi, Lampedusa and Verga, and then you have the modern authors like Italo Calvino and Umberto Eco, not to mention all the opera libretti in Italian.
Besides, it's so easy.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

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.

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*
