Russian fits right in between, and I’ve found it to be enjoyable to learn, albeit obviously impractical.

But I have flying through these lessons and expect to be proficient in Italian by the time I go to Italy in May. It's actually fun.



You’re not going to get proficient just using Duolingo. It’s good for learning rules and vocabulary though.

I’m almost through the French course. You’ll be good enough to read Italian, but I wouldn’t expect to understand their spoken word. You really need an immersion element to get to that point. My buddy who learned multiple languages in college said that watching television in that language helps towards that end


And this.

OP, find a language tutor on Italki once you learn enough on your own.
