Why Italy

Should I learn Italian or Spanish?

Hi, I'm just seeking some opinions as I'm kinda stuck in deciding on something. I'm a politics student but I'm looking to make my major into international studies and modern languages degree in which I would earn enough credits in French and a 3rd language. I can't decide between Spanish or Italian, I enjoy them both equally (far and away the only two I'd consider at this point). In my heart I want to learn Italian because my moms parents are from Italy so it is in my family but I am not fluent. I also like spanish, it is spoken by far more people and more relevant geographically (I live in Canada), than Italian at least. Anyways my point is that as an undergrad degree should i be going for spanish, the more spoken/practical towards getting a career in North America, and learn Italian later due to similarity to french and spanish....or am i ok to tell these thoughts to sod off and just take italian? i know this is lame, but thanks!

  1. learn both like i am!
  2. I studied Modern Languages. Spanish is my mother tongue, I have English, Italian, Portuguese and French too. Go for Spanish . I think that it will be more useful for your career. And yes, you should go for Italian afterwards, a language that I really love.
  3. you can learn them both.They share many nouns and verbs. Minus the E for Spanish infinitives.
  4. Well, since you did say that you want to learn Italian "in your heart", so I say go with it! You'll enjoy learning it SO much more, trust me! (:
