The best way to learn a language is to buy the audio tapes and listen to them on the way to work and back.

People really overlook this. It's one of my favorite ways to pass the time on long trips.

Italian and Spanish are pretty close.
One can listen to the other and understand enough to respond in their native language. I think that's called passive understanding.
Things like reading, watching movies, etc develop passive skills.
The active part takes much more practice and interaction.

Yeah, I'm fluent in Spanish. However, I always find myself looking for the nuances in Italian. I guess because I'm fluent in Spanish the differences between it and Italian are much more apparent to me.

Romans, Tuscans, Sicilians... they all speak very different versions of Italian.
I guess it's like French to Cajun French.
I think they kinda understand each other (outside of the far South... those people are a unique bunch).
But for me... learning formal Italian, which is closest to Florentine/Tuscan Italian... I couldn't understand a damn word the Romans were saying. Mumbling and slang BS.

This is the one I was working on. I like the structure of the app. I'm definitely going to get back into it.

I honestly don't know why Rosetta Stone is still in business. Well, I bought two languages from them, so I guess suckers like me keep them afloat.
