>zero interesting countries speak it natively outside europe
>therefore no

Thanks UK for stealing my colonies

every language besides english is pointless anyway so just learn something you enjoy

I learned because I wanted citizenship easier, it's an interesting language

You can learn an useful Romance language like Spanish instead.

Only if you are a faggot.
You want to live here ? learn it
You like to read in italian ? learn it
You want to listen to italian music that's not classical ? kill you are self

Only if you don't plan to use it

Yes, but studies have proven that most people abroad who are not MUH HERITAGEfags just learn it because they think it sounds beautiful and want to be able to read and understand Italian cultural products, not because of usage in economics or thinking of moving here

Depends on why you want to learn it
Do you want to impress people with your romance language skills? Are you of Italian descent and want to preserve your heritage?
Do you just plain like the way Italian sounds?
Then no, it's not pointless

Can i move there? :)

Not OP but I work at a university and can take language courses for free but I can't decide on one.

French because it's actually useful to know here.
Italian because my mom was born there and speaks it but it's useless.
Portuguese because my dad was born there and I have a very Portuguese family name, but they only offer Brazilian.

>only offers Brazilian Portuguese
uma delicia

I think people like German

Only if your an Arab or african. You can easily have sex with italian women

>tfw knew a few Eritrean lads who spoke damn solid italian
>they went to a Catholic school established during colonial times
>they were the most intense pastaboos I’ve ever met in spite of never having been to italy
They fucking loved me because I’m an Italian American named after Victor Emmanuel.

No

Learning new languages will improve your brain

Witnessed
The swede knows what's up

not if you want to become a priest / opera singer

Did they have sex with any italian women?

Learning is never pointless. That being said there are languages with more speakers obviously.

If I were you, I'd take French. Assuming you live in an an area with a lot of French speakers. Being able to practice conversation is severely undervalued in language education...Well, maybe just here in the US. You'll see your skills improve dramatically quicker if you are able to work in frequent conversation. Plus French is more useful.

Don't let the fact that they only teach Brazilian Portuguese throw you off from taking Portuguese, though. With enough exposure and knowledge, the Continental Portuguese dialect isn't hard to understand.

I wouldn't say it's completely useless for the same reasons a lot of other people are saying - learning a new language is a rewarding experience and can make you feel better about yourself while also making you smarter.
Learning Italian will make learning other more "useful" romance languages like French and Spanish easier, should you choose to do so.

We should re-introduce it as a mandatory subject in our schools.
