Bon giorno Marco...

Spend 3 months in an English speaking country...
Watch BBC and CNN on TV...
Watch your favorite DVD movies dubbed in Italian, then the original in English...
Read comic books in English, and aviation magazines...
Listen to the Beatles music records, reading the lyrics, and... sing along...
Go to "Irish bars" where many Anglo-Saxon tourists go, and chat with them...
Make friends with them...
Try to find a nice regassa who speaks English to you...
Dont worry about making "mistakes" or "mispronounce"... it really does not matter.

I speak English, French and Spanish fully fluently...
I learned these with what I told you as recommendations...
My wife, from Argentina, she spoke NO English, so we spoke Spanish...
I even speak Dutch I learned in school, some German and Portuguese...
When I am in my hotel room in Roma or Milano I watch RAI-TV...
I can read/understand Italian quite well...
I try my few sentences of Italian in restorantes, trattorias and asking my way...
I love to listen to Verdi or Puccini operas, and Andrea Bocelli records...
"Va pensiero, sul'alli dorate..." !!!
I sometimes even read the Italian forum on Pprune...

(And I am stupid) I am certain you can learn better than me...

Ciao - Happy contrails
