For the past few months I have been struggling to learn Italian. In my case it was critical because I have chosen to live in Italy. It is true very few Italian speaks English if you are going about daily chores without Italian will be extremely challenging. At the beginning I will write down on a piece of paper all that I need to buy in Italian and follow it as I go about town to finish my tasks.
Some people find learning a language a pleasure and they are extremely good at picking up languages unfortunately I do not fall into that group. The language I picked up in my life which is 5 todate are by survivor instinct yes, when you live in Thailand for example it is not possible if you do not speak Thai to go to the open market. English is use in the office as a written communication medium but verbal communication is in Thai.
Coming back to my challenge in Italian I learn from a few channels - a teacher, software and online. I choose the channel based on my time. If it was too late in the day I'll choose software or online depending on my mood. My lesson is once a week with a teacher who help me get the grammar right.
How to learn Italian fast will all depend on your personal speed. Children some how pick up a new language much faster than adults. I think it's because we are more stubborn in our brain LOL. Anyway I am going to go back to learning Italian now. Anyone of you learning another language and has suggestion to share please make comments. Love to hear from all of you.
