whats the best and fastest way to learn a language (and learn it well)???

i speak english, spanish and basic french. i need to learn italian for an internship i want to do in a year…so basically i have a year to learn…i cant go to italy before the internship because i will be in grad school and i cant take classes in school because that would increase my tuition immensely and i cant afford it. i know that knowing spanish will help me but im not sure i want to try to teach myself because i dont want to start learning it the wrong way!!

any suggestions?? any italian teachers/speakers that want to give me some pointers or lessons?

i will be moving to denver in late august and id really like to be able to have at least basic conversation skills by february or march. would this be possible??

You can try Rosetta Stone software (http://www.rosettastone.com/en/ ). It’s a bit pricey (I think $320 something–but better than tuition for 4 Italian classes), but worth it, according to a friend of mine who used it to begin learning French so she can get a job when she and her husband move to Quebec in a month. She says it works very well, though of course her French is nowhere near fluent yet.

Also, there are bound to be Italian speakers in Denver–surely, at least, a couple at the University–so put up some fliers around campus or around the area asking for someone to practice with you. It really will help a ton to be able to speak it with someone. And if they can help you correct your mistakes and accent, even better.

Immersion is definitely the key to picking up any new language. Listen to music, watch movies, hang out with people, all in Italian. Even if it doesn’t seem like that sort of “osmosis method” is really teaching you anything, it’s getting your mind thinking a little bit more often in Italian, which is what you need.

Also, you shouldn’t have too much problem with grammar, as you already speak Spanish and some French. I am going to assume you learned your French in school (??). If so, that might help you more than your Spanish, and here’s why: when you grow up speaking a language, you obviously don’t think as much about the grammar and structure as you do when you learn it later. For example, I learned Spanish (I’m not fluent, though), and I can read and mostly understand Portuguese, Catalan, Italian, and French because of it (not Romanian, though… that one hurts a bit–and of course, there are differences in all, so I’m not getting the full meaning when I do this). Meanwhile, I’ve spoken English all my life, and I can’t read any of the related language (Dutch is particularly close, but I can only pick out words here and there). But I’m rambling, do you get what I’m saying? Rely on your studies of French to influence your intuition about Italian. It will probably be easier than you think.

Also, I’ve always found that languages are much easier to pick up if you have a genuine interest in the language and the people that speak the language. That’s another reason why immersing yourself will help, you’ll be more exposed to Italian culture and find yourself caring more about it.

Getting basic conversation skills down by February or March should be no problem. Just make sure you make time to keep up with your practice (which can be insanely difficult if you don’t manage your time well–I’m a fellow grad student, and trust me, your life is going to be pretty busy as it is!).

OH! I almost forgot the BEST and cheapest way: You can always audit classes!!!!!! You don’t have to pay for them, but if you’re already a student at the University, you can sit in on any class you want (without getting credit, but also without paying), as long as you have the approval of the instructor. You won’t get grades (they wouldn’t count for anythng if you did), but do all the homework anyway. I have a friend in my grad program that needed to learn Spanish For an opportunity to do some research in Mexico, and she did just that for the 2 semesters before she went. Just find out who’s teaching the Italian classes and contact them and/or the language department. Your course catalog (or bulletin, or whatever your school calls it) should have more information about that option. If you do that ON TOP of all the other stuff, you’ll be speaking Italian in no time flat!!

Buena suerte!

Because of You, I Am $8.99 I was born February 27, 1979, in Denver, Colorado, to Rollen Gray Lively, Jr.(Pete) and Jeanne Carol Lively. I am the second of three boys, all born one year apart. Due to my father’s job with the Union Pacific Railroad, I learned at a very young age the word peripatetic, or a journeyer to hither and thither, which sheds light into my desire to join the United States Navy. From the Navy I have learned Persian Farsi, Dari, Urdu, Hindi, and Spanish. It is said that one may have natural ability, but I believe my ability to learn languages at a rapid pace may tie in with my affliction for right brained activities and artistic endeavors, which I gained from my mother; as well as my father’s left brained mentality. However, I never thought I would write a book. Throughout my life, there has been a teeming sensation of quixotic notion and swashbuckling trepidation on my tongue, but I never found its artistic release. It was in 2002, after returning home from Afghanistan, I found its liberation — and I have been writing since. I have seen and experienced much of the world, but I know there is much to do out there.
