He took a traditional college coarse in Italian this past semester. I did the same thing before I studied in France. I think I learned more trying to accomplish day to day tasks in Paris than I did from the coarse. I haven’t seen the material but I think that’s what the Rosetta Stone tries to simulate.

I couldn’t learn that way. I need immersion. Period. People do rave about it, though. Great portrait of him!
