Are there any good reasons to learn Italian?

November 27, 2008 by admin · 9 Comments 

Or is it a waste of time. I am actually fluent in French and english and with Spanish(intermedaite to proficient after taking 5 years of it). This summer I can't decide whether I Should I try to learn Italian on my own or go study abroad for one month in Italy (to gain intermediate skills) or just to Spain to become fluent in it? whats better?

if ur thinking from a geographical point of view (as in how many countries speak it), its pretty much useless. less than five speak it as an official language.
but it wouldn't hurt to know alittle, especially when u meet a hot italian chick. :P
