Online instruction in foreign language sucks all the fun and interest out. College intermediate Spanish is supposed to include content meant for native speakers, including excerpts from films, poetry, novels, plus all kinds of interesting cultural facts about the way people live and think.
Italian is much easier than Spanish (fewer conjugations, no spelling problems). French is also easier than Spanish (fewer conjugations and tenses) however it’s harder for spelling and pronunciation than either Italian or Spanish. Since in my opinion conjugation is the worst part of learning a language, Italian and French would be my pick.
