But my experiences there have been too disjointed and, frankly, Paolo's English is too good, for it to have ever been really necessary.</p> <p>Anyway I just went through lesson Italian#1 at <a href="http://www.trymango.com/">Mango Languages</a> site (found via <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DumbLittleMan/~3/159264013/get-introduced-to-and-learn-foreign.html">LifeHacker</a>).</p> <p>The form of learning is based upon repetition and speaking the phrases presented to you going from English to Italian or vice verca. At over 100 slides (it's in the form of a Flash presentation) I found the lesson a little bit too long (I think this may say more about my attention span than anything else) but I guess you end up repeating everything quite a few times.</p> <p>Mi chiamo Matt. See? Something stuck.</p> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00002640.html
