if you need someone in person, a community college class is a good way to get the ball rolling. Youtube videos also help. An Italian friend is the only way to maximize your learning, probably (e.g. fastest).

Just learn Italian the way people learn English all around the world: with cheesy songs!!

Lesson 1: the days of the week.

For you, as french canadian, wouldn't be difficult.

Conversation with a native language speaker would be a good option, plus....listen many songs, watch italian tv, read newspapers, comics, etc...



Leggere e postare nella sezione italiana di Apricity potrebbe anche essere una buona opzione, non credi?

Thank you Tribuno. Yes I'm thinking that it should not be terribly difficult for me to learn. I did take Spanish in high school and I didn't have difficulties with it either. I am so looking forward to starting something/somewhere though. So thank you very much for the suggestions.

There is some Italian television programming on Sunday mornings that we get here in my city but which originate from Toronto. The problem with this, I understand from Italians who are not Italian Canadians, is that it is not very authentic Italian however.

But I will try to get immersed as best as I can! Thank you!

Ciao!

Watching Italian TV is a good idea.

I got most of my French from watching Habs games on RDS.

I agree with Trubuno. When I went to Italy I was able to understand some stuff just due to knowing French (and my Frenc is teerribly far from perfect). So I think you can accomplish that without much difficulty.

Berlitz intensive immersion. I have taken it for Polish, (for about 2 years) and I am now at the point where I understand everything when I hear it spoken. I can also speak fluently. Give it a try. Also it is important to note that I was in a course one on one with an instructor. Worth all the money.
