Hola... Bienvenida al foro. Well, both are Romance languages for starters. What is your specific question?

Both languages originated from Latin. You can do a google search on "Where did the Spanish language originate from"and "Where did the Italian language originate from"

It is handy to know Spanish when you travel in Italy. You can understand all the signs, and roughly make yourself understood. Understanding them is a different matter however.

I held a conversaton with an Italian woman once, with her speaking Italian and me Spanish. We could understand each other, with some hand waving. - KevinB, Feb 17, 2011
