A little bit is better than nothing.

Ah, I was afraid of that. Got the same opinion on twitter. The movie I got recommended was "la vita è bella". I watched it once after that.Leonardo said:
Once again, I applaud your ambition and your determination, and I humbly offer my help. Feel free to PM me.Tì ringràzio! So I was thinking about what to PM you but I felt my question would benefit others here too. Do you know of any interesting Italian shows or movies I may not be aware of?
Ehhh.... Tv in Italy is comprised of 85-90% American (or British) shows dubbed in italian. What's produced locally is utter crap IMHO. Movies might be a good bet,
It's something that I've been doing with other languages and other shows/movies already. Though none of my DVDs/Blu-rays have Italian as an option for the audio/subs. Curiously though a couple of them have it as an option for the menus. Recently though I have found a site with Italian subs on tv shows. I'm going to go watch Arrow like that.Leonardo said:
but here's what I thought:
you've heard about the Rosetta Stone, the ancient piece of rock that had writing in Greek and Egyptian hieroglyphs, haven't you? Historians were able to understand the hieroglyphs because they had the Greek text as a reference. Now, I think this is a good method to learn another language: use something you already know, say like the Bible, as a reference to understand it.
Since we're on a Star Wars forum and all, I think it might be a good idea to use the Star Wars movies to learn a foreign language! What do you think? :)
Had no idea you were going to do that. Ironically I'm not sure what to say other than thank you!Leonardo said:
As for what to PM me about, I was willing to make short youtube videos to demonstrate correct pronunciation, grammar and so on. In fact, I have an idea. Let me get my mic.

So, got lazy with my language stuff today due to needing to take care of other things. Yesterday though, I got some Klingon, Japanese, and French learning done. I'm going to dedicate an hour and a half to Italian likely in a few hours. Oh yeah and I've started to write some posts on my tumblr in other languages.
Here's one
Here's another
Pretty simple stuff thus far but, I'll get to posting longer ones later.
