After struggling along and becoming reasonably fluent. To round out my knowledge, I decided to sign up for a class that taught Italian to Italians (adults, that is). I went through 5 grades in a few months. A fascinating and highly enriching experience, learning a language the same way as the natives learn it.
For those wanting to learn Italian, the University of Perugia has an excellent immersion program.
