I want to learn English, I am studing it since april 2006 but it's very difficult to improve it because I am in Italy. It will be very important to go to England or America.
I think your problem is the same!!
I am sorry for my bad English!

Italian isn's a very easy language, and italians speak it in very different ways, i'm italian from veneto and i went in campania, i can't understand very well what they say.

anyway, you have to start a serious italian course, and after you can start watching some italian movies, listening to some italian songs, reading books,and then come to italy, visit it and meet somebody, etc.
it will be long, but if you'll undertaking in it, you can start speakin italian in... 3 years?
good luck, you won't be blasted

How much will it take depends from what are you able to do right now. for ex: if you can speak or manage yourself with another latin language such as french or spanish (or latin, by chance), it will be easier and faster for you
if you have to start from the beginning, it will take you some years of practice. I have two american aunts who learned a very good italian in less than a decade because they married italian men, but now their pronunciation is absolutely perfect.
It is not simple, but still it is possible if you practice a lot.
grammar is very complicated and pronunciation is too a source of trouble for english-speaking people,
but nevertheless it is worth the price.
try starting attending some lessons and find a pen friend.
if you want you can e-mail me (I'm italian of course, 18years)
but I understand english quite well and I am quite literate.
do as you believe. good luck!

Take a class with an italian teacher or live in Italy taking a class, or working there.

pidgeon!

you can take a class, or you can get cds that help you learn a language. i'd buy a cd course - this way you can learn at your leisure. when you have the basics, go to italy for a holiday to practice.

Italian is a VERY difficult language...
It has a very different sound from english...
It has a complete different language structure...
It has a very difficult verbal system...
It has lots of irregularities...

...Are you sure you want??
If you really want to, you may add me to your MSN contacts...

Ciao. The best way ofcourse is to come to Italy but you can even try italian's chat and listen to italian songs and, why not, start to read italian (but I think you cannot answer to question in a different language) Yahoo Answers ?? ; )

You should come to Italy, that's the best and only way to learn fluent italian.

Living there is the best way to learn it but that can be hard since they speak different versions depending on where you live. If you get hte Rosetta Stone software that is easy and fast and you will know at least the basics if not more.
If you know spanish you can pick it up easily because its really close to spanish.

Hey, I'm Italian so it was easy for me to learn the language. But if you have no clue how to speak it, maybe you can go to italy for the summer and learn it there, or you can apply to those free programs online, u could always look programs on Google.

be fluent and literate in italian could be the work of an entire life...

In my opinion it is a very difficult language, there are too many grammatical rules and verbal coniugation....

The best way to learn it is to practice it every day. Period. If you don't even have the basics, you might want to find a pen pal. I would have never mastered English the way I did, and as fast as I did, if I didn't have friends I wrote to everyday.
Once you are confident in the basics, take a trip. Go see the country, it's beautiful and the people are really warm. If you immerse yourself in it you'll slowly find that you understand a lot more than you thought you did, even if you are not confident enough to speak it fluently.
If you'd like help feel free to email me. You can do that from my profile page.
Good luck, or should I say Buona Fortuna!
