Speaking of youngsters...

DO you have any idea how many DJs, artists, and musical bands Italy has produced as opposed to Spain, all catering to youngsters?

Gigi D'Agostino, Eiffel 65, Marco V, Mauro Picotto, Nek, Laura Pausini, Benny Benassi, In-Grid... and TONS of others...

Italy even created and pioneered musical genres like Italo-Disco for example...


That's what we need... a bunch of fucking hispanics comparing their culture with ours... Pffft

Have you heard of Latin? The modern Italian language itself is relatively unimportant. French has just as much (rich) history behind it, and other elements like music to enhance your learning experience. These things are all subjective anyway.

What a fucking dumbass...

And Italian doesn't have music to enhance your learning experience?
What about the Opera?
What do you think words like: tempo, concerto, sonata, orchestra, soprano, and adagio, come from? ... to name just a few!

Check these link and learn something, for once:

How dare you compare the history of French with that of Italian?
Italian was the language of the Renaissance!

It's called reading comprehension... there's no point responding to the brainless vomit that is your post! Also, language of the Renaissance? I think you're thinking of LATIN (see my original post). LMAO!

Consider opening a pizza shop -- that's pretty much the extent of modern Italian culture.

English provides you with a stepping stone towards German or one of the Romance languages, so perhaps it would be more challenging and interesting to try something unrelated, like Arabic?
