This ebook is the culmination of a year of learning Italian, as well as learning about general language learning.
The first thing I did to start the new mission this year was switch the interface language on my iPod to Turkish. And that has allowed me to make several interesting discoveries.
I am going to get my year started by setting some goals and laying out a clear set of expectations with the language. It is always important to do this with languages.

I've got an exciting new strategy for language learning in the next year which I think will be particularly helpful for languages like Russian.
