I found an app for my phone called duolingo and it seems good, it's free as I don't have the $ to spend on Rosetta Stone right now. According to the app I am 3% fluent in Italian! I find I am able to read some of it now and understand what it is saying. Speaking it is a bit of fun at times as some of the accents are difficult for my English speaking mouth to learn. Also I find the masculine and feminism aspects of the language confusing. Especially when you go into plural. Like the word THE is different for masculine or feminine. And the word eat is giving me trouble as there seems to be about 10 ways to say it. But I have only been doing it for a few hours. Can't learn it all in that time.
The person that you will spend the most time with in your life is yourself, so make yourself as interesting as possible.
