Improve your Italian literacy! You will need to have substantial vocabulary foundation and a good grasp of grammar (probably 90% done with Duolingo course), but you get a broad selection of prose & poetry.

Whether your school offers French or Spanish & German or Italian, Russian, Chinese & Arabic, grab that opportunity to relate to other people & learn how they live & think. Any new language is a passport to broader perspectives & more options in life. That’s why languages matter.

Languages are about expressing yourself, making new connections, enjoying diversity in the world & opening up new opportunities. They're not all about weird grammar & strange pronunciation. The world is bigger & better with another language, whatever direction you want to take.
