More Learning Italian

Since my 30-in-30 challenge learning Italian has fallen off my priority list somewhat. Obviously, given that we’re living in Torino, there’s a background level of exposure and learning going on, but I’d run out of easy materials to learn more.

I’ve been trying to get back on track though, and so have been taking my mp3-player out with me when I go for a bike ride and listening to some of the podcasts from learnitalianpod.com.

Then via Mark Simpkin’s experiment I found the BBC languages website and the Learning Italian pages.

The lessons start from the basics, but there’s also a fast track section if you know some Italian. I wasn’t expecting to get too far with it, but was pleasantly surprised to get about 75% of the answers right on all of the sections. I’m learning more than I thought, but will be having a look at some of the lessons to brush up a bit.
