Language in Italy
In Italy they speak mostly Italian.
Some people speak German or French because
those countries are close.
Italians use the same alphabet as us but they say
it different ways.
Italian words use accent marks on some letters
so you say them a little different.
My family does not speak Italian
but I liked learning
new words.
