Why Is Learning Italian Important ?

I think learning Italian is important because knowing one language is not enough and learning Italian is pretty easy. Knowing Italian also means that you can order pizza clearly, and not getting a cheese pizza instead of a pepperoni one . It also means getting to talk to people if you are in Italy or if there is someone new at school , work , or in your neighborhood . Going  to a giant store of Italian shoes and getting what you want , that is learning Italian . Well I think that Italian  is awesome . :P
