I have had a crush on Italy and Italian ever since I enjoyed a visit to Sicily for the first time in the late 1970's. The outlook from the window of my modest modest hotel was eye-opening. The smell of perfume in the air from the overwhelming quantity of flowers in Taormina in the Springtime, had an extraordinary impression on my senses.

However what really impressed me was Italian as a language: The words caressed me like a lady's touch - even though I did not understand Italian.

By doing it "the hard way" I am referring to conventional class coaching using textbooks that makes you yawn and are loaded with loads of traditional grammar rules. Research has shown that less than 5 percent of language students are able to put up with the tiring nature of formal school training to go on with studying Italian for more than a couple of years.

Enjoying yourself while you are learning Italian can be achieved in a variety of ways. Surely the perfect way is to learn Italian is to visit Italy and communicate in person with Italians.
