It is the iambic nature of Italian that we love. Like the heartbeat of your mother.

 

[Englishlanguage]

It is the iambic nature of Italian that we love. Like the heartbeat of your mother.

Actually, Italian has a natural inclination to poetry.
There was a famous Italian poet and writer (Ugo Foscolo), renowned for his beautiful poems, who is thought to be unable to write prose. Some critics say his prose maintains the structure of his poetry.

No, I don't like it. I'm just fascinated of Italian language. I learn Italian and I teach my self. I know how to make words plural and I can find out which words are masculine or feminine. I also adore Italian songs and italian food especially pasta. They are just fantastic.​
