I am having a hard time deciding which language I would like to learn. It would be wonderful if someone could give me brief information on culture, food, arts, ect, from cultures behind languages like Italian, Spanish, and French.
Thank-You

The first thing I took under consideration is the "edge" of whichever language I may learn. The second thing I am now looking at is what comes with the language, culterally speaking.
I repeat to all of you I cannot decide which language to take and so I need to help with the culture side of the languages NOT the edge factor.
Thank You

I think learning a language based on the culture, food, etc that you mentioned is making it ideal. Consider choosing a language instead that gives you an edge in the future. So many people today speak Spanish and knowing it can make you very marketable. I studied French for 7 years in school through a multilingual program and today I could not carry a decent conversation in French if I had to. But since I already spoke Spanish, I did not take it. Now I wish I had because I could have learned to read and write it better.

It may be a good idea to learn Spanish since it is starting to be used as a second language in the US.

You should learn the language which most interests you, not one what you think might benefit you in the future. Even if you were to learn Spanish, you probably will never sound like a native and that will not help your career. I used to work with someone who was Chinese but spoke Spanish. He told me that many places that want to hire bi-lingual people didn't take him on because he spoke that language with a noticeable accent.

all are very similar. french is hardest, spanish is easiest to learn in my opinion. spanish is probably best considering that we are close to mexico and we have too many immigrants. french is probably next best because of canada. most spanish food is spicy. they have day of the dead which make fun of death. french food is unique and france has that gay reputation, but i think thats stupid. italian food has lots of noodles,wine, oils, olives, and garlic. sorry i cant tell you much more.
