I am thinking of learning yet another language. Italian really appeals, the more I listen to Opera and say Andrea Bocelli singing - Con te Partiro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcrfvP11Hbo I just think it is more and more a beautiful language.
So anyone have any tips, hints or stories they may care to share?

How many languages do you speak fluently and which are they? :)

Watch the RAI News (Radio Televisione Italiana)
That will help you to start "capiring" (capire) the language... :)

I studied Italian for a year, and subsequently learned Spanish for 2 1/2 years.
That was more years ago than I care to admit, but I can still get the gist of both written languages. Spoken, not so much. I think that practice would bring me up to speed fairly quickly (or living in environments where the languages are used).
I'd say that if you have a grasp of Spanish, then you'd find Italian fairly straightforward to learn.
My first language is English, by the way.
