No and it is very beautiful.

Once you get everything you'll need you won't stop.

I've been there and I loved the process. 

how could i find a language partner to talk to me on skype?

Italian is the easiest language to learn ever, because it is always spoken very clearly, every syllable is clearly and completely pronounced, no "eating words", no squashing them together, not a single tricky sound and only five vowels. It is easy to pronounce, to hear and to memorize. Orthography is easy too, with the notable exception of double letters. Now I do have issues with articles, but no language is perfect. Italian is by far the easiest language I've seen.
