Should i study Italian?

I'm currently in college and I want a language as my minor. I studied German this entire semester and it's pretty hard. And then I found out that I can major in Italian. I'm Spanish and I have always been able to understand what Italians are talking about because of the similarities between the two languages.

Do you guys think that I should go for Italian? Would it be better for me because I'm a fluent speaker of Spanish?

Italian people pronunciation?

Italian people pronunciation?
Hi there. I'm an italian girl and was asking what do you think about our pronunciation(close to the english one and not the american one). I've been studying english for many years, at school.
The issue is the following: when we pronounce particoular words with the letter "T" (which stands in the middle of the word), we directly say it like in italian words and not chaging the sound "t" with your more usual "R".
Some of the most trivial words: LIttle(sounds as "lirol" instead of our "litol"), daughter , etc...
I need a tip. I don't know if continue to use the "english pronunciation" or not. Actually, the american one sounds strange to me :D , but if i have to correct myself i want to do it.
Please people, answer!
thanks in advance.
EHM... NEGUS, GRAZIE PER LA RISPOSTA. Che cosa carina. Ho la certezza di averla pubblicata nel sito americano. Questa mi suona strana, davvero! Ho perso anche del tempo per trovare la categoria più adeguata. Ma guarda un pò... !

Sì be', l'italiano è una lingua molto bella, ci sono tanti modi per dire la stessa cosa, è vero..

Ma sarei tanto voluta nascere in un paese dove si parla l'inglese, per impararlo come si deve.
O almeno avrei voluto essere bilingue.

L'italiano è bello, ma l'inglese è più utile, perchè si parla praticamente dappertutto! In tv, su internet, ovunque.
Impararlo da zero è una bella fatica :-D
