4) reading a lot of writings in Italian with the English translation,
5) finding Italian dictionaries, sites about how to conjugate Italian verbs, Rome from satellite pictures, interesting websites about Italian TV channels, about Italian newspapers, about archaeological interest websites, …
6) practising your Italian in chat or in an English-Italian forum,
you have to visit my site “HOW TO LEARN ITALIAN”:
http://xoomer.alice.it/learn_italian
If you are well skilled in Italian language you can practice the current spoken language visiting another website of mine: “ESSERE IN DUE” (to be two): http://xoomer.alice.it/eventually an Italian website about the couple life. You can find there 42 stories about different ways of being a couple. Stories are in modern current spoken Italian.
The philosophy of my websites is: Nothing commercial here but only friendly! According to the philosophy of this sites I listed in my pages only the websites without commercial references, like official sites of the Archeological Superintendence or personal sites with nothing commercial. That's a rigid choice but it's my choice: get in touch with people interested in Italian culture, in order to exchange ideas, to learn reciprocal languages, only on a friendly base.
