    That's not entirely true. I speak fluent Spanish and can understand "a bit" of Italian, but there is quite a difference when you're dealing with the actual vocabulary and how certain words / phrases are expressed. Similar yes, but two genuinely different languages with different dialects especially dealing with how South Americans and Caribbean people speak Spanish (much different than Italian). I have no doubt Paulie had some teaching as he's aiming at a Full time career as a Commentator after he retires, but I don't think he knew Italian and just said "Yea I know Spanish cause I'm Italian".
    Of course there's a differnce and of course he had some teaching. I never said Paulie speaks spanish automatically because he's already fluent in Italian. It's still a similar language so if you take your time and try to learn the language it's not that difficult and he would pick up spanish quite fast because of his Italian background.
