learning italian

sup /lang/

im taking a beginners italian course at univ in the fall and I wanted to know if you guys can recommend some audiotapes or italian forums/imageboards.
is pimsleur good? sorry if this has already been done. also french is my mother tongue so i hope this will help with the language acquisition.

Going in Italia is a good way to learn italian.

Je dit ça parce qu'une fille à la soirée d'où je reviens à appris l'italien comme ça, sans trop d'efforts, en plus ou moins 6 mois.
L'italie du sud est assez cheap, mais faut aimé être entouré par la mafia :)

I wouldn't bother with Italian. There just isn't enough italian literature that makes learning it worth it.

You should just learn Japanese instead.
