Because I'm crushing on a guy who speaks Italian =D he's Romanian, just like me, but been living in Italy for many years now and recently returned to his roots. It's not that I want to impress him because sadly he's taken LOL but he's giving me motivation to keep going and thriving with Italian and he helps me a lot too. Might sound like a stupid reason but any reason is better than none, plus learning a new language is always meraviglioso
