When it comes to learning a new language, there is a common phrase that applies: You get out of it what you put in. This means that the more time and effort you put into learning the language, the better the results you will get. This also applies to the cost of your language learning program. With this in mind, here are my recommended methods for learning Italian:
- Top Dog: Rosetta Stone
Rosetta Stone is the most effective program for learning Italian because the focus is on immersion rather than memorization and repetition. Though this is the most expensive program here, you will absolutely tell the difference in the results.
