German with Russian or Italian BA?

Very similar situation to yourself here.

While I haven't studied the languages, I would very much like to. But perhaps one thing you could try is to start learning the basics of them, online to get a feel for the languages. I'm not sure if it's just me but I found French impossibly hard yet I clicked with German. If you find that actually, one of them just isn't right for you, that might make your decision easier.

I guess another thing to consider is what you want to do with that degree. Judging by your post about Italian culture, you may what to live there? In that case, Italian would probably be the best choice; if you just want to learn Russian because you like the language I believe most uni's offer classes anyway, just you don't get a qualification in them

I'm hoping to apply to university soon, and although I've chosen German as the subject I want to take from post A-level standard, I've also been looking into doing a combined honours degree with either Italian or Russian.
I absolutely love the Russian language and would personally find it a greater and more fulfilling challenge to master it, especially with the Cyrillic alphabet. I've never really seen the appeal with Romance languages personally, and although Italian is a beautiful language I can't really see myself enjoying it THAT much (or as much as I would Russian).
However, my dilemma presents itself here. I absolutely love Italian culture; the music, food, art, architecture are all a delight for me to learn about and take in. With Russian, I'm not sure whether I just haven't learnt enough about it or not, but it just doesn't seem as suited to me as Italian culture, despite adoring the language. Which is why I think the year abroad spent in Italy might be more enjoyable than spent in Russia.
Has anyone got any advice for me to make a decision about this, or studied any of these languages (or better yet, both!)? Thank you.
