Italian, that's nothing. Lots of it are cognates with Latin (duh), the Romance languages (duh), and English (because European history). For a challenge, try Finnish. That'll make your head spin and your teeth fall out.

I learned Finnish when I was only two years old. Didn't even have a teacher. Obviously it's very easy!

For me a huge part is motivation. I need to develop a passion for the language I'm learning otherwise I couldn't learn it. While I'm learning a new language I also do fall further "in love" with it, but I cannot fall in love with just any language.
It also helps if I have some kind - any kind - of connection to that language. For example knowing a charming, handsome Italian is a huge motivation in learning Italian for me.
Maybe the same would work for Finnish, but I don't know so many people from Finland. @FinneousPJ how sexy and charming would you consider yourself?
@Shandaxx Oh, extremely -- I find I am pushing the boundary on both accounts.
Maybe you could try some Finnish music or reading about our national epic, the Kalevala. Apparently Tolkien was obsessed with Finnish. The Quenya Elvish is based on Finnish, and the story of Turin Turambar is straight from the Kalevala.
When I started learning Spanish in school they never bothered to tell us just how many tenses and moods there were. I guess they thought it would scare us away when we were still beginners. So I was introduced to them gradually over the years. Felt like something out of a cartoon where someone already carries loads of stuff but someone else keeps stacking additional stuff on the top. "....and the condicional compuesto! ..and the pretérito pluscuamperfecto! And..." "Oh come on!"

Sentence number 4) makes sense. Horses will always follow the carrot. They love carrots.
Sentence 1) A sentence made by a youth explaining his whereabouts during a night out. The razors being a fashionable night club.
