What does this Italian word mean?

I was talking to an Italian boy I like on Facebook and he said "sei una galla".

What does "una galla" mean? I can't find a definition anywhere! I'm freaking out that he said something bad about me!

To all Italian speakers, what does this say?
"esso batterseta biasimo sorridere io, chissa pensarre amore."

How hard is it to learn italian?

Hey everyone! I've always wanted to live in Italy and I'm going to start learning italian this year. I speak fluent english and french. How hard is it to learn italian? I'm fifteen btw :)

and which ones do you think are the closest and most different?

french, spanish, italian, portuguese, romanian.

to me, italian spanish and romanian all sound very similar, with key differences. portuguese and french to me have a more similar sound to them than they have with the other three. in terms of vocabulary, portuguese and spanish are almost identical and italian, romanian, and french have more similar words.

I live in the States but would love to improve my Italian/listen to their news/culture on my laptop. I googled around but had a hard time getting what I was looking for. Does anyone have a link for a radio station that streams live? (Preferably an NPR-structured station that has more news and talking than music, but at this point I'll take anything. Even better if their website has an English translation, although I can probably navigate anyhow.)

....if you knew Spanish fluently, would that make a difference? :]

Could any native Italian speakers help me?

I probably should have posted this in Italian, but I'm not sure if I would have said all this correctly. I finished taking an Italian language course this summer, and I need someone to talk in Italian to. I'm not very good and I make a lot of mistakes, but it would be extremely helpful to have someone correcting me. Could any Italians help me?

I am attracted to Italian girls, but all I know about them are just stereotypes and not very honest points of views. Iike to know more about you gilrs, I am planning to visit in a near future.

Why doesn't Madonna's daughter speak Italian?

Madonna's daughter Lourdes is trilingula,hence she fluently speaks English,Castilian Spanish and French.Why wasn't she taught Italian,hence her daughter is half Italian,and possesses Italian heritage!

On my last night of vacation I met this amazing Italian man. We got along really well, and despite him knowing I had to leave the next day and despite the fact that he knew he wouldn't get further than kissing me, he stayed up all night just to talk to me. He also ended up telling me he loved me (in english, I don't know if that's important). Is this something I should consider as part of regular italian flirting, or is the typical male Italian sincere when he says this?

I am studying abroad in Rome next semester (Winter/Spring 2008) and need to pick up as much Italian as possible before I go. I was wondering what series of books and CDs would be best for learning practical, modern Italian quickly. For the audio part, I would prefer to have the old-school method of the word/phrase being repeated in both languages. It would also be helpful if the book had many insights into the culture, too.

Thanks!
