i genuinely have no idea if i should study italian or french. on one hand, french is probably more useful, especially since i live in the u.s. and could communicate with people from french-speaking canada. french also seems to have more speakers. however, i also have an italian study book and it seems easier to get the hang of for me than french, especially since i can’t yet differentiate what people are saying and the way things are spelled in french.
i genuinely love both languages but i don’t know which one i should learn, even if i’m the only one who can decide this. i have a study book for italian and busuu as a language learning app but i don’t have a french book yet. should i learn italian first and then go with french? learn italian and pick up bits of french along the way?
Italian is easier and arguably sounds nicer (or at least softer), French is more common and useful. I’m not hating on French though, as I also learned it willingly in my teens (and, as of last year, I’m also a French citizen, lol). If it’s just ‘for fun’, I’d say Italian.
